UPGRADE VISTA TO WINDOWS 7

I JUST BOUGHT A LAPTOP HP REFURBISHED WITH VISTA ON IT.  IT was delivered yesterday.  Now, I heard that Vista is be removed and replaced with

Windows 7.

HP or Microsoft will improve my system for free... I want to Windows 7?

Had you heard wrong.  Windows Vista is not to be drawn at all.  Windows 7 is just the next operating system will be released early next year.  When available, you can buy it.  There will be no freebies.

  • Upgrade Vista to Windows 7, files using the second internal hard drive and Windows Easy Transfer.

    I have a desktop pc with 2 internal hard drives.  A hard drive has the BONE and the second hard disk is a separate partition.  (I do not combine hard drives using RAID.)  If I upgrade Vista to Windows 7, the upgrade will be to reformat hard disks or just a hard drive with the operating system?  Should I remove the second hard disk of the computer just to be sure?  The second hard drive must be reformatted for use with Windows 7?

    Thank you.

    You must install the upgrade in the Vista operating system.

    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.

    Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
    Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

    Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
    A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

    • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

    • Install Windows 7

    • Reinstall all your files

    • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

    These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.
