  By definition, means a 'upgrade' (as opposed to a new installation)
  that all data, programs, etc. are kept intact.
   
  There is however no guarantee that it always works perfectly.
  However unlikely, it is always possible that something can go wrong.
  That is why he is careful to make sure you have a backup of anything
  You can't afford to lose before you start.

  Where can I still get Windows 7?

  Full version - Microsoft Windows 7 Professional

  Version upgrade - Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Upgrade

  --------------------------

  How to upgrade:

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/how-to-upgrade-to-Windows-7/

  -------------------------

  How to do a clean install:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:

  http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Windows apparently can't stand Vista more means can't be upgraded to Vista Business from Home Premium?

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 using a Vista Home Premium x 64 OS and I want to upgrade the operating system Vista Business but what I understand that MS can't stand Vista does that mean I can't do this? Is there another place I can buy a 3rd type company. third-party software for my portable computer? I read an answer in the system here that said I can improve, but the question and the answer was written in ' 09 and I don't think that's relevant today. Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  you have never been able to do this upgrade

  You can't put Vista Home Premium to Vista Business; This is NOT an upgrade path

  Home Premium to Business must be done with a clean installation using a patented FULL vista

  You can upgrade Home Premium to Ultimate

  Ultimate includes the enterprise features

  to buy it test a computer repair shop and ask them to left over copies

  purchase online can be fraught with dangers of piracy

• The upgrade of Vista Business 64 bit on a workstation used

  I recently bought a Dell Precision T5400 used with Windows Vista professional. I'm very happy with it, but I intend on a program 64 bit running on the workstation. What are my upgrade options?

  Anyway you have to clean install.

  Your options are Windows Vista 64 bit, Windows 7 64-bit or 64-bit Windows 8.

  You can use a Digital River 64-bit with Service Pack 1 setup files to a bootable media and pure install 64-bit Windows Vista Business.

  I recommend Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 64-bit, but you have to pay for a license (its probably the most expensive option).

  You can also switch to Windows 8 Professional upgrade license is cheaper than that of Windows 7, but in my opinion, a lower quality product.

  I would recommend either tried and decide what you like the most and if you think that its worth the upgrade.

  Follow the instructions in install windows own A: http://philipyip.wordpress.com/dell-community-forums/

  I suggest running step 2 and 3 to A Clean installation of Windows Vista before experimenting. The guide tells you how to obtain trial versions of Windows 7 and 8 so you can evaluate them. With Vista 64 bit, you have the product key and must be able to activate using activation activation recovery backup program or phone to Microsoft.

• Upgrade to Vista Business downgraded to XP 7

  I recently bought a laptop HP Compaq 8710w comes with Vista Business downgraded to XP Professional. I ordered my upgrade kit, as I understand it will take to do me a clean install. My question is, I will receive a copy at retail of Windows 7, which also includes good 32-bit and 64-bit, or will I receive only the 32-bit version? If I get only the 32-bit version, it will be specific to my serial number or I'll be able to get on ebay and trade it for a 64-bit version?

  It seems almost right that I have to do a clean install anything, I should be locked in the 32-bit version. As long as I do a clean install, it seems that I should be able to upgrade to 64-bit.

  Thank you

  Tyler

  I think that you will have 32 bits by default, you can usually contact Microsoft directly and they will send 64-bit as long as you have a valid product key.

• Upgrade to Vista Business

  I need to improve my Home Windows Vista business on my gateway to work from home.  One of my friends has a reinstallation of Windows Vista Business from DELL DVD.  I'd be able to simply insert the DELL Vista Business DVD in my gateway and be good, or that won't work?

  And the Dell Vista OEM license is linked to a computer.

  Vista Home Basique/Familiale Premium to Vista Business is not an upgrade path.

• HBasic upgrade Vista business on Satellite A200

  Merry Christmas everyone!

  I have the problem and I need your advice please. I am the owner of a portable Satellite A200-1CR that accompanies this with Vista Home Basic recovery disk. Thanks to the MSDNAA, I acquired a DVD with Windows Vista business, but the upgrade option does not work! After I had lunch the autostart DVD and after entering the CD - key, I get a screen with two options: install or upgrade to Vista Business, but the update option is grey and inactive.

  I upgraded a Windows family Basic Business Edition once on a laptop (Fuijtsu Simens) different. WHY I CAN'T DO NOW, ON THIS THOSIBA SATELLITE?

  Help, please.

  To be honest, these updates is unknown to me but maybe you have to install a clean version of Vista professional. Not only an update.
  You have the option to do so? Toshiba offers all the tools of drivers and utilities for Vista.

  Sorry, but I don't think someone can help you. If you need assistance directly contact those responsible for the MSDN Academic Alliance.

• Vista Business - > Win 7 Home Premium upgrade does not work with my Win 7 Home Premium Upgrade disc

  I bought a Windows 7 upgrade for $99 at Dell when I bought a new computer Win 7 and am finally getting around to upgrading my Vista Business.  The reason for road upgrading rather than clean install was to avoid reinstalling all applications, a major, major time sink, even if I find all the drives in application.  Is the upgrade to Win 7 Home Premium.

  After starting the upgrade, he stopped, telling me that I can only switch to Win 7 Pro, Ultimate or enterprise. For the upgrade to proceed, told me that he needed a clean installation and that I would then have to re - install all the applications.  I looked on the Microsoft site, trying to find how to set my Windows 7 Pro upgrade disc, but I have been unable to find how this could be done after through many convolutions of web pages.

  Could someone tell me please how to put my Win 7 Home Premium Upgrade disk to a Windows 7 Pro upgrade disc?

  Thank you very kindly for any response.

  I guess it depends on what side of the coin of your on. If someone bought the Windows 7 Pro upgrade, whereas they would have only a single lane of evolution, which is the more common scenario.

• Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

  Upgrade/license transfer

  I have purchase Windows 7 business plan and upgrade my Vista Business retail version to Windows 7 Pro.  Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

  If you use the license professional Vista as the operating system with a Windows 7 Pro upgrade license then no, you can't continue with Business.

  If you use a copy of the licence of right (standard retail) Windows 7 Pro then Yes, you can reuse the company to upgrade XP.

  Upgrade license replaces the license qualify you for the upgrade license.  That's why the price is reduced from the price of a copy of the full license.  In this case, a license of Windows 7 Upgrade binding Vista Business license to the Windows 7 Pro license and operating permits would be free not to use it elsewhere.

  How install Windows 7 Pro has no importance.  If you use an installation upgrade or new installation method, what matters is the license of Windows 7, to level or standard (full).

  Buy a copy of the full license of Windows 7 Pro to do what you are suggesting.

  Hey Wyz Azz

  Vista home premium to vista Professional is NOT an upgrade path

  You must do a fresh install with the help of a full vista Enterprise license

  With the 64-bit of Windows Vista editions, things are as clear as possible. You can upgrade:
  -Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate.
  -Home Premium to Ultimate.
  -Business to ultimate.

  for your vista upgrade family problems premium if the ultimate disc doesn't have a sp2 already as part of it uninstall sp2 from the installed OS family premium to ultimate upgrade then reinstall sp2
