• The upgrade to Windows 7 Professional Windows and not Windows 8?

  I have Windows 7 on my computer. I bought an upgrade to Windows 7 Professional last year. When I try to update I get sent to Windows 8 upgrade. How can I get Windows 7 to Windows 7 Professional without buying an upgrade of Windows 8?

  Is the Professional Windows 7, upgrade or an Express upgrade?

  The first thing you need to do is to get your key to Windows 7 Professional upgrade Express:
   
  An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
   
  What happens if I lose my product key?
   
  If you lose your product key, you can return to

  www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.

  The next thing you need to do is to reinstall the base license that you upgraded, Windows 7 Starter Edition or Home Premium.
   
  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
   
  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
   
   
   
  -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
   
  -HP use F9 on most of its systems
   
  -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems
   
  -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

  -Dell uses F12
   
   
   
  In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
   
   
   
  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

• I try to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 Professional and got the message that I can not upgrade to this version.

  upgrading Vista to Windows 7 Professional

  I followed the instructions given on the MS site to upgrade my vista to windows 7.  I answered the questions and MS said that I had to purchase the Professional upgrade from windows 7.  After purchasing, I tried to install it and the upgrade program says that I can't upgrade vista with this version.  Is there a work around for this problem, because I don't want to do a full install.

  Hi JimNorman,

  1. What is the version/edition of windows vista installed on the computer?

  2. How do you try to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 (via anytime put at level or by using a disk)?

  Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.

  Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

  Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

• You want to upgrade Windows Vista to 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?

  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.

  How to install Windows 7:

  If you have Vista:

  Custom installation: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7-custom

  What Upgrade Options are available for Windows 7?
  If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

  Windows Vista Home Basic	Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium	Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate
  Windows Vista Business	Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate

• 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.

• The mSATA upgrade size and put windows 7 in it - L521X

  My equipment:

  L521X with windows 7 64 bit home edition

  32 GB mSATA (even if only 8 GB are used) and a 750 GB HARD drive

  I did some reading and it seems that what I want to do is not so easy. I want to improve the size of the 500 GB mSATA. Then I want to install the CD of the score mSATA and just use the regular 750 GB hard drive as a storage device.

  A few challenges: I read:

  * I can't use the DBAR (recovery discs) to do this

  * I have to resintall from scratch

  * I have to buy a disc of Windows 7 OS separately and then install all the drivers concerned.

  * I have to disable acceleration before TSRI install first and then disable the TSRI in the BIOS.

  Issues related to the:

  * Can I not simply direct the installation drive to be initially mSATA?

  * I think I can't clone the disk 750 GB HARD drive, even if only 100 GB is used for a 500 GB mSATA? That's why a re-install?

  * If the issue being that the DBAR resides on an encrypted partition? (or something like that). Where the DBAR cannot be used to install on mSATA?

  As the a workaround if the configuration above does not work, can't just disconnect the HARD drive to install on mSATA? If I plug plug back in, BIOS will treat as main HARD drive? (I say that there are no switches to go here or the BIOS settings?).

  I tell myself that I no longer need TSRI if I update the size mSATA and just use the HARD drive regularly as a storage device.

  I did not need UEFI even if that can speed things up because I do not see my having more partitions of 2GB.

  I can just go SSD road, but it seems a waste not to use the hdd of 750Go regularly if I want to keep the drive blueray yet.

  I would advise any new install, cloning or using DBAR with readers of Cache is nothing but trouble.

  You should be able to call Dell Technical Support for a reinstallation of Windows 7 DVD but I recommend you rather use an .iso of Digital River:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Microsoft-Windows-and-Office/Download-Microsoft-Windows/Windows-7-SP1-ISO-download/

  Install without a product key, and use the Activation backup and recovery program to restore OEM product activation:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/a-clean-install-of-Windows/Microsoft-product-activation/the-activation-backup-and-recovery-program-Windows-Vista-7-version/

  Follow my Guide from reinstalling Windows / a Clean Install of Windows:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/a-clean-install-of-Windows/

  Note: You will need to format the conventional hard drive otherwise, you can form a kind of dual-boot. So save all data on an external hard drive.

  Before installation, you will need to change the configuration of the BIOS to AHCI or the mSATA drive will be used as a cache drive (and its useless with a drive of 500 GB mSATA as a cache drive).

  Once the data is saved, you can use the Windows disk to delete all partitions or use DBAN to erase the drive safely.

  It is also possible for you to replace the mSATA drive and remove the conventional hard drive. You can then change the SATA operation in setup on AHCI BIOS and start installing Windows; If something is wrong, you can undo the change in the functioning of SATA and reinstall the original two discs. Once you have the Windows installation on the mSATA you like, you can remove and conventional drive of seat and starts then its dry with DBAN. After the failure, you can reinstall the new mSATA player with Windows 7. Once Windows 7 is loaded, you can see disk management open to install a new drive:

• Upgrade Windows 10 is on my home page and cannot stop it.

  * Original title: intrusion and abuse of microsoft

  Microsoft, who thinks they are. They put 10 of windows on my computer and then it kept popping up all the time. It was the devil trying to get rid of it. Twice I had to get rid of. Now, he is on my home page and cannot stop it. He is screwing with my outlook e-mail. They went to the Council with this *. He went to the point where it is abusive. Then their phone system is a joke. I called and after 5 minutes of advertising, I thought that the number has been changed. Had to call another number to find that they are closed. What a joke. Apparently, Microsoft has built in the diversion on each package of the window and I'm sick of their support for my computer. I stopped upgrading because you don't know what the hell they put in them.  Microsoft, leave my only freaking computer.

  Right-click on the Start button and select Properties, the taskbar tab click Customize (under the Notification area). In the next window, place the cursor on GWX 1 and use the 2 scroll to change the behavior to Hide icon and notifications  3 and click OK 4 . You will need to uncheck the box next to always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar to be able to change the behavior of icon GWX.

• After signing to Windows 10 free upgrade and if windows 7 or 8 re-installed will still get 10 free upgrade Windows.

  Hi friends.

  I'm new to this forum.

  Wanted to know, had recently windows flash 10 indicator of free upgrade. Registered for it but for some reason, I need to reinstall my Windows 7 64 bit SP1.

  After re-installation of Windows 7 after 3 days as I have not received flag upgrade windows 10 on my system tray.

  So I would like to know, if I get the upgrade windows free 10 when it is available.

  Concerning

  C.

  There is no need to "reserve" anything.  This is purely marketing share MS to "encourage" users upgrade.  They will be happy to pass any OS eligible in the first year for free, and it will remain free for the life of the device when it was released on July 29

  There will be some ISO available when win 10 is out July 29
