  This product key for Vista Ultimate is for 2 users; the computer tells me that it is already in use, and it is the second computer. Then I don't understand what the problem is.

  There is no such thing as a ' 2 License User"for Windows.

  It * may * be for 2 processors. These 2 processors MUST be on the same physical motherboard.

  You use WIndows out-of-contract of license and will have to purchase a new license to the second machine.

• Upgrade Vista Ultimate dilemma! Accedently, I bought the bad packet.

  My intention was to upgrade my Vista Home Premium to vista Ultimate, but I bought the wrong upgrade package (Ulimate Vista update for Vista Business). Is that what I can do to work around this problem?

  I did not open the upgrade software. If there is a work around I would like to know about it!

  Why is Microsoft doing this so difficult? I have suffered through more than a year of Vista problems as a user. Why don't microsoft bend backwards to help its user base?

  I have used all versions of windows since 3.0. I have beta tested 95 for them as well as some of the beginning there products.

  N ° you would be forced to sell or return the upgrade. You missed the chance to use the built-in option in Home Premium for an "anytime upgrade".

• What can I reinstall/upgrade Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit using the upgrade CD that I bought?

  Please help me with the steps I must follow to upgrade/reinstall my Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  I bought the upgrade CD, but I keep reading that I can't upgrade, I have to re - install.  How do, or have I just wasted my money?

  Thank you

  David

  The two DVD come in the box of Vista Ultimate.  The same upgrade key works for both.  The procedure is to let the 32-bit version on the hard drive for the verification of license and a custom installation will work.  The hardware hash will be the same and the product key is the same for the activation servers to happen anyway as a repair installation.

• Upgrade Vista Ultimate - software product name specific

  I have a PC Compaq Presairo Vista Home Edition I bought at Circuit City and want to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.  When I search on the web, I found many Vista Ultimate Upgrade software produced different names at various prices, widely.  I also see a lot of problems cited by those who have tried to level.

  My main reason for the upgrade is to install and use Microsoft IIS. I want to do it more quickly and easily as possible.

• Upgraded Vista Business OEM for Vista Ultimate w/o a clean install?

  Have Vista Business OEM on my Fujitsu tablet.  As said Fujitsu Tablet does not Win 7, I bought a Ultimate Upgrade from Amazon.  Everytime I try to upgrade, it tells me that I have to clean install because my version is too old for a upgrade path.  Too OLD?  What the devil?  Everything I read says that it must be a version of vista. I have read nothing that requires that the software that I have not "too old".  I don't say anything that he cannot be an OEM, either.  Just a version of Vista (legitimate copy is deducted). How can I get around this non sequitar?

  Thank you

• Difficult problem upgrading Vista/Windows 7 for anyone who dares to try to help me to solve it. PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS!

  My computer is a few years old, but has always been a good thing. I have a Gateway P6831FX laptop. It came with Vista pre-installed, but also many devices hardware upgrade card high quality graphics, monitor, sound system, etc. because it was built for the high-quality games.  Unfortunately, my OS system crashed and the computer did not come with recovery discs (gateway said that I should order the discs on their part and that I had to pay for them. Which shocked me because when I bought the computer I paid for a license to the BONE so you would think they would send the recovery discs I free).  However, I recently bought a disc to upgrade to windows 7 because I was planning on upgrading my system before it crashed.  So with a computer, I couldn't use, I thought that I had nothing to lose and I decided to try to load my system windows 7 on the computer.  I put the disc in the drive and load windows 7 with no problems at all.  I don't know if I've checked all the right boxes when he asked all sorts of questions, but my big computer worked when I was tired.  I had to go online and download the driver for the webcam to webcam would work once again and I lost all programs preloaded but other than that everything seems to work fine.  But then all of a sudden the sound no longer works.  I turned off the computer and turn it back on and the sound was back on.  But a few hours later, the noise stopped working again and it keeps going.  It is when I reboot it, but it is becoming a chore.  I decided that I would try to fix it and I went into the Device Manager and I discovered something to worry about. All original equipment upgraded in the computer is no longer registered.  All that was there was listed as generic devices Microsoft and number of manufacturer information and model said: not available. The monitor, for example, is listed as 'No generic PnP Monitor'.  Everything updated, so that I paid extra watch now simply known as generic peripheral windows (with a date of installation date that I loaded windows 7).

  Is there anyway to retrieve the updated materials and programs without having to order and pay for the vista recovery discs?  If I have to, I'll have to erase windows 7 then reload vista with recovery disks and then reload again the upgrade to windows 7?  However, one thing that baffles me is that when I pull my hard drive it shows that I have 2 here.  It shows 1 Partition (C) and (D) recovery so I think that my original vista system with the hardware upgraded and programs is still in my computer somewhere in the recovery disc (D) but I can not understand how to access and I tried.  And if for some reason any I can never access or recover, I would like at least to remove it because it takes up a ton of space on my hard drive.  If anyone can understand what I'm trying to say here, that's where somehow you can help me understand cela stuff?  Thank you for your time.

  Hello

  Gateway put a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista from rather than providing records.

  It's the way it's done now and you are also supposed to make recovery disc from it, that you can not do until you reinstall Vista now.

  If the recovery Partition: D still works, we do not know as you have installation, etc. on this laptop.

  You need to try.

  Reinstall Vista > and then upgrade to Windows 7.

  .

  Here is the information on the bridge for learn you more about reinstalling Vista.

  Full factory for the gateway restore, which you will always be able to use...

  https://support.gateway.com/s/software/Microsof/Vista/7515418/7515418su531.shtml

  And once you reinstall Vista you go to the site of the bridge or from the hardware manufacturer (that you upgraded material initially) Support Web site > download drivers and software Section > equip your laptop model number or the hardware and operating system > and download the latest drivers for the notebook hardware.

  http://support.gateway.com/product/?cmpid=supportnav

  And also when Windows 7 is installed then you will need to go to this same site gateway or the hardware manufacturer (that you upgraded material initially) and download the latest Windows 7 drivers for it also.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  If the recovery partition is damaged ask gateway if they provide the disc of recovery for you.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

  See you soon.

  p.s. That's what you should have done before you start the upgrade to Windows 7.

  Go to your laptop manufacturer's website and check if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model laptop.

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

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• Dell Inspiron 1721 Win 7 ultimate upgrade on Vista ultimate. ATI Raid driver problems.

  I install Win 7 Ultimate on Windows Vista Ultimate Edition for my sister.  Although I am appalled by his duty to pay 200 more of the money it has paid to buy Vista Ultimate (for which she won Bitlocker and the possibility to join the areas, I have the following problem: she has a lot to gain a little and there are still problems in the installation of the OS.)  It would be good, at least, since it paid the price to have copies of the disks him were sent and more download (which I work with)

  I am trying to install the upgrade from 32-bit to Windows 7 on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1721 and I get an error that says I need to update my ATI AHCI Compatible RAID Driver. I went into the device drivers update as described in the instructions and tried to update the driver but it says I have the latest version of the driver for it. So I tried to restart my laptop and represented the upgrade installation and received the same error message.

  Can you advise me on how to solve the problem.  She has spent a lot of money and, at least, deserves to make it work!

• stepupgrade windows vista business Japanese version for windows vista Ultimate edition

  Recently, I bought a laptop in the Japan. The operating system is Windows Vista Business Japanese Version. I'm not familiar with the Japanese language and because of that I wanted to change it to English. I had discovered to find the way to put in place, but I found there was no way else to solve except buy a new Windows Vista with English Version or mine upgrade to Windows Vista ultimate. And I want to ask a question:
  1. is there anything else beside what I mentioned above?
  2. If I decided to buy a Step-Upgrade Vista Ultimate DVD Business, should I buy with the same language version with my Vista business, Japanese Version? Or is it fine with Step-setting level Vista Business to ultimate DVD English version anyway?
  3. Please show me how to change the display language after upgrade my Vista to Vista Ultimate!
  3. in the future, if there is a problem that I have to reinstall the OS, this DVD of Step - update allows again?

  Thank you for your attention.
  I'm sorry, my English is not good enough, I hope that you will understand my questions.

  Best account.
  Louise

  Change language:

  1. to change your Vista professional Japanese language to English, you can buy a Japanese Vista Ultimate Upgrade disk/license.

  Then download the English language through Windows Update as an option Pack.

  Vista Ultimate upgrade must be done in the original language Vista came.

  2. your other Option is to buy a FULL Vista Business English version and do a clean install.

  3. If you want to reinstall, you need the original installation of business > Ultimate upgrade > re-download the optional updates in Windows English Language Pack...

• Upgrade to Vista Ultimate does not

  Hello

  I had a vista Home premium pc upgrade to vista Ultimate edition (32-bit) without years number 1 or 2.

  Last week, I had a pc crash and had to reset the PC with the factory settings.  Of course, windows update asked a lot of updates and now I have vista Home premium sp2. But when I want to use the anytime upgrade vista ultimate SP1 dvd, it tells me that the option is no longer possible.

  is it because I already have SP2? Should I go back to SP1 to enable the upgrade option?

  Or am I forced to buy windows 7 ultimate upgrade for an ultimate version?

  It would be really unfair. Once, I bought vista ultimate version, I should be able to have a way to upgrade to vista Ultimate edition, without having to switch to windows 7 just top get the vista ultimate features.

  Thanks for letting me know my options.

  Regis.

  Uninstall SP2.

• Licensing issue? I need to replace the default motherboard with a 'Detail' education Vista Ultimate Upgrade on top of XP "OEM." Can legitimately transfer my license everywhere and how?

  I am currently a computer on which I already installed XP OEM and upgraded to the edition upgrade Vista Ultimate retailers through the ultimate steal Microsoft.

  [Reminder]

  The problem I have is that I've recently updated my graphics card to a card of Nvidia 7300GS card Nvidia GT240 on which my motherboard was properly assessed. However, due to some unfortunate circumstances (I dunno if it's associated graphics or an electrical surge problem, I suspect the latter as the card is fine) my PCI Express slot is fried! This resulted in the motherboard being unable to start any card in the PCI Express slot and gives a series of BIOS beep error codes. I even dug my old graphics (7300GS) and he was still unable to boot. Accordingly, I need to replace the motherboard for the PCI Express slot works if I use a graphics card.

  [Problem]

  Since the license Vista Retail Upgrade that I use currently is the edition of 'detail', can I simply change my motherboard everything and turn it back on, or is it more complex because it is installed on the high XP OEM that is bound to the default motherboard? What are my options?

  I have to buy another XP OEM license and reinstall everything from scratch? What happens if I didn't reinstall and just changed the motherboard and drivers updated my current installation? Is - is this legitimate?

  As I understand it, the Windows for OEM license allows a person replace a motherboard of 'default' (GA-M55plus-S3G in my case) for a replacement under certain conditions, mainly as for everything. Am I entitled to it? If so, what motherboard would be I can replace by although it is considered an upgrade? I have in mind an ASUS M4A78L-M as it is cheap and comes with connectors female jack audio 8 channels on the backplate was on my old motherboard.

  My main confusion is to know what license applies to me because of the upgrade process, retail of Vista or XP OEM? Upgrades medium I improve my driver's license?

  I would like to solve this problem without canceling my licenst but just don't know how?

  Thank you very much for any help or advice.

  Zemian.
