Upgrade to Win 10 Pro of Win 7 Home Premium, Win Pro 8 & Win Pro 8.1

Old PC died after the last update important victory 10 Pro.

Bought a new PC.

Installed my Win 7 Home Premium retail version.

Trying to move up to Win 8 Pro in detail, followed by Win 8.1 Pro then the free win 10 Pro.

Now I'm stuck to Win 8 Pro. The installer of Windows 8 got my key, but said "we cannot connect you right now. Check your internet connection and try again.

As far as I know, my inet connection is fine. Win 7 updates are currently still to come...

Someone has an idea?

Why not just use your Windows Pro 8.1 product key or product key Windows 8 Pro to go directly to Windows 10 Pro?

How to install and activate Windows 10 using your Windows 7 or Windows 8 product key

  • I would like to make a "Inplace - upgrade or install" as says here from Vista Home Premium

    The Jinx is that none of the instructions here apply to my PC. When I put DISC factory in AutoPlay opens and it is treated as if it were a Photo DVD. No windows installation to install. When I type in the Drive: \setup.exe search box I get nothing even with F instead of the car. When I open it I not gives me the choice to run only: STARTUP records, hp, PC-Doctor 5 for Win PE, preload and SOURCES and text files I can't open. It's like a lot of things with this PC crap. What is true for all other HP, Dell or some brand running Vista, it has absolutely nothing to do with this PC...

    I'M THE ONLY PERSON WHO USES THIS COMPUTER AND I HAVE NO OTHER USERS ON THIS COMPUTER

    I got the Microsoft Vista discs. They are Windows Vista Home Premium, a 3 DISC set, 2 recoveries and a Suplemental. I said it's a great PC, but I spend more time trying to run or to solve problems that I actually get to use it. And now he has a lot of things are going on I never heard talk of and I wanted to try the thisRESTORE procedure that would leave my stuff alone so I didn't have a waiste that extra day and a half to put it all back to gether. It's another backup of thing does not work on what I have to transfer everything to my other drive so I don't have to use 30 discs REWRITABLE for all my stuff. If the restoration is not reformat my E-Drive again he has once before on this machine.

    Hello


    You will need a disk in the Windows Vista retail to do an inplace upgrade.
    The disks you are using are a factory restore disks and will not install files to perform an inplace upgrade.
    You can get the retail disc by contacting the OEM of origin.
    Check the following link to see how to perform an inplace upgrade.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2255099

    Note:
    You can back up data to an external hard drive and no CD. It is essential to back up data even if you do an inplace upgrade.
     
    I hope this helps.
  • Could not upgrade to windows 10. In windows 7 Home Premium, how can I turn off BitLocker?

    Couldn't get to 10 Windows 7 Edition windows Home premium because the bitlocker should be disabled. How can I disable the bitlocker in windows 7 Home premium?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you can not upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 7 as your BitLocker should be disabled. When BitLocker is suspended, secure the TPM validation does not place and other authentication methods, such as the use of a PIN or USB key to unlock the operating system drive, are not applied. I suggest you refer to the following steps to disable the BitLocker Drive Encryption:

    1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    2. Find the drive on which you want that BitLocker Drive Encryption turned off, and click turn off BitLocker.

    3. A message appears, informing you that the drive is decrypted, and this decryption may take a long time. Click decrypt the drive to continue and turn off BitLocker on the drive.

    By performing this procedure, you have decrypted the drive and removed BitLocker protection. You can now upgrade to 10 Windows upgrade.

    Additional information:

    Deactivation of the drive (Windows 7) BitLocker encryption

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

  • Can I use Windows 7 Upgrade media to upgrade a Vista computer that has not been upgraded to service pack 1? Can I use the option of custom Setup for Windows 7 Upgrade media? I would go from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Premium.

    The computer on which I am trying to upgrade is vascular under Vista Premium, but it was never upgraded to Service Pack 1. He has a problem with PIECES that is caused by a defective ntdll.dll module and so the updates do not work. Windows Upgrade Advisor tells me I must update Vista SP1. I really don't want to spend the time to solve the problem of Vista. I would like to just do a clean install using the custom install option on the Win7 upgrade support.
    Help.

    Wrong forum. This post here instead, questions please: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

  • Upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    When I try to upgrade to windows Vista my freze computer when you complete the last upgrade operation. Then I have no key board, no mouse, and I have to close it manually. When I reboot it is reinstalled windows XP. I get no error message. What can be the problem?

    On the basis that report (thanks for that, even if it's in French -, and mine is pretty rusty :)), I recommend that you do the following things:
    First, download the latest drivers (both in Vista and XP versions) for your motherboard (chipset and onboard devices), a webcam and a printer; also download the latest versions of Intellitype and Intellipoint, and APC UPS software.  I suggest you all burn to a CD.
    Uninstall programs:
    -Intellitype
    -Intellipoint
    -Logitech Desktop Messenger
    APC - battery backup
    -Consumables HP shop
    Uninstall the drivers:
    Camera - Logitech
    Logitech - microphone
    Print drivers - HP (uninstall the Device Manager, delete the printer from the Printers folder and remove the driver source file (usually located in C:\HP_printername)
    -Audio SoundMax
    Disconnect devices:
    Logitech - camera (and microphone, if it is a separate issue.)
    HP printer-

    Update all other system drivers (motherboard chipset).

    Reboot the system and disable integrated sound in BIOS card.

    Start Windows and try to re-run the upgrade.

    I know that the Upgrade Advisor is a not reports something like a show-stopper; However, I am of the school of thought that anything that can be even a slight problem should be corrected or deactivated for best results.

    HTH, and please post back with the results

  • Update Win 7 Starter to Home Premium operating system from a hard disk of the laptop with old?

    I have a netbook with Win 7 Starter.  I have an old laptop that the motherboard is dead hard disk.  I would like to transfer the Win 7 Home Premium OS from the hard drive of my netbook.  Since I already own the licence of this OS, is it possible to transfer?

    If Windows 7 Home Premium came preloaded on the old computer where the motherboard is dead, the answer is no. If the Home Premium license is a retail upgrade or full version, then all you have to do is use the key and product upgrade Starter to Home Premium.

    If the Windows 7 Home Premium license you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Home Premium. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option to enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Home Premium, when asked, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium files the stored settings and programs.

  • Free upgrade from Vista Home Premium 7

    My laptop is still under warranty. I bought it New from Best Buy. Given that it was a floor model, they tell me that my computer is NOT available for free upgrade to Windows 7. Why? Is it possible that I can get a free upgrade to Windows 7? It has Vista Home Premium built in and the reason that I don't like is that it is not useful at all as much as to teach me how to use the computer. I am a senior and I learn right on the computer. If I can't get the free update, Do You traore the price of Windows 7 never boils? Any help is appreciated! Thank you very much!-Chris, in Dearborn, Michigan.

    Suppose you have qualified for an Upgrade to Win7 for free if you had not bought a floor model is reduced, Chris. In any case, only Best Buy can really explain why the computer does not qualify.

    You can buy an Express Upgrade to Win7 Home Premium (~ $120 USD retail or less) or Win7 Ultimate (~ 220 USD $ retail or less). See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/shop?T1=win7 or http://www.google.com/products?q=%22windows+7+home+premium%22+%2B+upgrade&hl=en&aq=f

    Please note that the upgrade to Win7 peut invalidates your warranty and Service contracts.

    In any case Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. Please post future questions about the upgrade in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

  • Is there a possibility of upgrade version OEM of Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit for Windows 7 for free?

    I learned from a few sources online that I can get a 'upgrade' for the version OEM of Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit for Windows 7 free. Is this true? Should I participate in forums feedback for Windows, etc. in order to acquire such a valuable product?

    If not, is there another 'economic' way to get a copy of windows 7?

    Really appreciate your time in answering my question.

    Despite what you may have "competent" wrong, there is no "free" upgrade to Windows 7.  You can buy Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store. Carey Frisch

    The Windows 8.1 does not require driver external webcam.
    Usually, the webcam driver is part of the Win 8.1 system and so the webcam should be recognized automatically.

    From what I've read about the specifications of your computer, it had Windows 8 core and not Windows 8 Pro from the factory.  When you update the store Windows or Windows Update, Windows will search the version you have on the system and download the appropriate version.

    If you feel that the above is not correct, do a factory restore using the recovery or recovery that hopfully disks Manager, you created when you first got the computer and check the installed system.
