• Can I upgrade to windows vista home Premium 32 bit on 64-bit operating system

  Im running windows 7 Home premium on opus 64-bit system.  Can I upgrade to windows vista Home premium 32-bit...

  Hello

  This is not an upgrade from Windows 7 to Vista.

  It is a downgrade that Vista is the previous operating system before Windows 7 came out and you would have to BUY a COMPLETE of Vista version and do a fresh install of Vista; but before you buy Vista, check first that your computer manufacturer provides the Vista drivers for your model computer.

  Microsoft sells more Vista; Try Amazon.com.

  Hello

  You are unable to update or upgrade Vista 32 bit to 64 bit of Vista.

  32-bit to 64-bit, or 64 bit to 32 bit is done by a new installation using a full version of the operating system.

  32-bit and 64-bit are different operating systems.

• The upgrade in Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

  Hello

  I HAV downloaded the ISO file following from the MSDN (en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677460.iso) site for the upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

  How should I now improve my OS from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.  Double-click the ISO file says that Windows cannot open the file.  How can I open the file?  Should it be converted into a .exe file.  If so, how?

  Thank you.

  A .iso file is an image of a dvd.  It is not a program or data file.  You need to burn this image on a dvd with your burning program.  Copy disc, burn to disc.  We'll then work the disc in your optical drive.

  Hello

  My personal opinion is that you buy a more recent machine as Vista Basic came on machines that have the material basis for it requirements.

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

  There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

  Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

• Upgrade in Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.

  I am considering the upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate. I already bought the software Windows Vista Ultimate Edition at a great price from Circuit City when they were going out of business. I am currently using Windows Vista Home Premium. I need to install a program called SolidWorks 2008 CAD - 2009 in College and this program is already bought and in my possession. Family Premium is not compatible with this program. I really don't want to go because I believe that it will lose the ultimate software, but I think, that I have no other choice in order to use my copy of SolidWorks 2008 - 2009. So I have a few questions related to it. Is there a way to get around this, and if not, is there something I need to do or uninstall until I try to install this upgrade? I can't afford to have any problems during this update because I need every day my computer for school. Is a one time installation were I will not be able to use this ultimate software on another computer ever? Thanks for your help.

  Windows Vista Compatibility Center

  Use the foregoing for checks for hardware and software compatibility.

  If it is not Compatible, it is not Compatible with Vista.
  Changing the Vista version it will be not Compatible.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Read this info on running your program in XP SP2 Compatibility Mode:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

  If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
  It works for some programs, but not all.

  This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Looking for Service Pack levels during the upgrade:

  On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you which SP you have install.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948537

  "How to uninstall Windows Vista service packs"

  If the OS installed Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 1 upgrade disk > uninstall SP2 installed operating system > install the upgrade > reinstall SP2.

  And run the upgrade of a Vista operating system.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If it is a retail upgrade license, it can be transferred to another machine.
  But it can be installed on a single computer at a time.

• Upgrade to windows vista home to windows vista ultmate ssystem

  I jutst a windows ultimate vista upgrade software. I opened the package and now find one of two dvd upgrade for 32-bit and one for 64-bit. Now, I'm totally confused about this installation process. Help!

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you if you have Vista 32-bit or 64-bit installed.

  Unless you specifically ask for Vista 64 bit, it normally has 32-bit version of Vista installed by the computer manufacturer.

  If the installed Vista 32 bits, use the Ultimate Upgrade 32 bit DVD.

  You upgrade from the version of Vista installed > get it operational > insert the upgrade DVD into the DVD drive > follow the instructions.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  And read this info below on installed Service Packs:

  On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

  "How to uninstall Windows Vista service packs"

  If the OS installed Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 1 update > uninstall SP2 from Home Premium > install the upgrade > reinstall SP2.

  And run the upgrade of a family race Premium.

  32-bit to 64-bit and 64-bit to 32-bit is a clean install, not an upgrade, if you have different versions of ILO.

• Upgrading from Windows Vista Home Premium at 8 - CPU does not support NX

  Hello

  I have Vista Home Premium (very probably OEM as it came with the PC) on a PC and I bought the upgrade license to Windows 8 Pro.
  I understand that it is in terms of the license transition, but here is my problem:
  The CPU does not support NX (and for sure there is no setting in the BIOS for this).
  So I can't move to 8.
  To replace the CPU, I need to replace the motherboard.
  If I replace the motherboard my understanding is I'm losing the license because it OEM.
  So, in reality, I can't switch to Win 8.
  The license, I bought said that I can pass any system running XP, Vista, Win 7 to 8 Win.
  It does not distinguish between older versions of Windows OEM and retail versions.
  For me, it's a huge conflict.
  So the question is:
  Can I change the CPU + motherboard to earn 8? or not?
  Thank you
  It has been some time but I finally had the time to do the upgrade (hardware + software).
  For history and for others who could come on this post with a similar question and be discouraged by responses like this:
  I contacted the technical support of MS and they confirmed that I had a Windows 8 Pro upgrade license and after upgrading my license would Win 8 Pro full-detail (what you want to call it). Essentially, after upgrade, I can reinstall any other motherboard. Of course you can only use a license on a machine at one time.
  (Of course your upgrade license type may be different to mine, so you should check they type of license)
  In any case, what is more interesting, it of that I got the confirmation that I can do a clean install and activate my upgrade license. Not only that, but they recommended the installation of Vista should not be present when installing on 8 to win. I was very skeptical and I asked for an account of the cat to be on the right side. They assured me that the support had made several times and is not a problem.
  And so, I do a clean install on the new motherboard (and a new player) and activated windows 8 with no problems at all.
  It seems very stupid that you can change the motherboard after the upgrade, but could not make the move and the Windows update at the same time. Fortunately, it is not the case.
  To me, it seems that the MS are aware that in you to go from XP (soon), they should also use the materials for the upgrade.

• Disable the upgrade of Windows Vista Home Premium Retail

  Currently, I have installed a retail version of Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium on a desktop computer that is no longer I intend to use. I would like to turn off on this area, before you reformat the hard disk and give the computer to charity, without installing anything on the hard drive. Is this possible and if so, how? Thank you.

  Just reformat the hard drive.

  You do not contact Microsoft.
  Then, as it's a level of detail, you can use it somewhere else.
  It may require a reactivation of phone once you install it elsewhere.
