• I want to reinstall windows and upgrading vista to windows 7. I don't have the recovery CD. How can I do this?

  Yes, it is said that in the title.  I want to reinstall them and upgrade.  If I buy and download the upgrade windows 7 will there be an option to wipe the hard drive and delete the partitions?

  Hi NoahFrank,

  No, you will not get an option to erase hard disk or delete partitions during the upgrade of your operating system. However, you will get this option during custom installation.

  Formatting your hard drive during a custom installation of Windows 7 permanently erases everything on the partition that you put in the form, including your files, settings and programs.

  (64-bit capable) 32 bit Vista Home Premium... I can do a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit professional?... from a flash drive?... to change the boot order?... or at all?

  Hello

  That's right; with Vista Home Premiun upgrade paths are for Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate.

  It is one of the reasons why you should do a clean install.

  You need a clean install to do.

  Follow these steps before you install or buy Windows 7:

  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.

  Hello

  Microsoft is no longer selling Windows 7.

  You can upgrade to 7, but 8.1 is a clean install.

  Windows 10 came out at the end of this month and 64-bit, is that computers in popular way will these days

  If it was me I would replace it as the material probably should be upgraded for the use of later operating systems taking into account the age of a computer with Vista.

  But here's a guide for the upgrade.

  Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

  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.

• I'm having a problem sharing back and forth between xp and vista & get the error that I don't have permission to access files

  original title: sharing of Vista with XP

  I'm having a problem of sharing back and forth between xp and vista.  I've set up the sharing, but I still get the error message that I don't have permission to access files

  Kill / disable the Vista password protection option. If you have installed a separate firewall, configure it.

• I use the automatic update to install vista service pack 1, but I don't think that it installed properly

  Because because it took a few minutes & I now have the same auto install messeage that SP1 is available for update, also when I tried to install the Vista SP2, I get the message that SP1 needs to be installed first

  Why wasn't Vista SP2, a fortiori, installed SP1 years?

  If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

  Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)

  • Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

• 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.

• Impossible to Vista Home Basic to Vista Home Premium. Don't want to do a clean install. How to get around this problem?

  just bought an upgrade to Vista Home Premium with service pack 1.  I'm upgrading to Vista Home Basic.  The program tells me that the upgrade has been disabled and he wants to do me a clean install.  I really don't want to do a clean install.

  If your installed Vista Home Basic has recently installed Service Pack 2 > uninstall Vista Service Pack 2 for him >

  Do your upgrade to Home Premium Service Pack 1 > then redownload/reinstall Vista Service Pack 2 again.

  And make sure your Vista installed and the upgrade of Vista are the versions both either 32-bit or 64-bit, depending on what is your Vista Basic.

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Info is if your Vista is 32-bit or 64-bit Vista.
