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

"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.
See you soon.

Hello
Greetings of the day...
I published the query with small correction below. (Sony Vaio) & (32 bits) is given correction.
I'm in the research for the information on how to change Window Vista Home Basic in my laptop Sony Vaio (32 bit) to Windows 7, 8.1, or 10.
Please provide the guidelines.
Thank you for this help.
Kind regards

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.

Vista 32 bit Home Premium upgrade to Windows 7
I have been using Windows Vista, 32-bit, Home Premium with success. Recently, it has been suggested to me that I had to upgrade to Windows 7. I want to keep, at least, I currently have the same capabilities. I have a few questions.
1. because I don't want to back up or modify files or programs, is it wise to upgrade to Windows 7, 32 bit, Home Premium?
2. in the case, which version do you recommend?
3. should I download it from Microsoft or do I have to download it also?
4. If not should I buy in a store? Could you recommend one?
5 is it complicated to install? Do you know a good site that could help me to install it?
6. Finally you would give a price range that I have to pay?
I know this has been long, but it seems to be a complex issue.
Thank you very much for your time and your support.
Sincerely,
Jim Nolan

Yes.

3. should I download it from Microsoft or do I have to download it also?
The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail.
Microsoft sells more than Windows 7.

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.

Unable to get the password. How can I upgrade to Windows 8?
Used computers may come with some undesirable traits such as malware. It is best to start clean with a fresh install of Vista.

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.

I want to install Windows 7 Professional. I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?
You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.
If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.
