• Cannot upgrade Windows Vista Ultimate Edition after the HD upgrade

  I have an ASUS computer which is about five years old and works fine. It runs only Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1.
  The HD has been giving signs which is failing. I bought a new HD and copied the old HD to the biggest news. Everything seems to work fine until I tried to run Windows Update. It does not allow me to update and gives the 8024A 000 error code every time I try to run it. I called ASUS for help and they said
  to contact me Microsoft.

  Thank you

  I found the solution to this problem. I went to another Windows help forum. It is to reset the Windows Update program. I tried the one here on the Microsoft site, and it did not work. But I tried this one http://wind8apps.com/windows-update-error-code-8024a000/ and the fist solution worked like a charm. He fixed the update and install issues with Powershell 2.0. After that and a certain number of updates, it's updated, Windows Update will update to the latest version. After this release he went and found many updates, I had to install. So be patient, you're in for a little wait.

• Upgrade Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Professional (the two 32-bit) using Express upgrade after that my hard drive crashed.

  Hello:

  As the title says, I have recently updated my new hard drive, I got from Dell's Windows Vista Ultimate Edition of Windows 7 Professional. I don't have the product key for the Express upgrade, so I'm unable to activate my copy. The last time this was back in 2009 when I bought the Express upgrade, so I don't know what I did to fix this problem.

  I appreciate any help you can give me.

  Hello

   
  I suggest you only to contact a Microsoft Customer Service representative to activate your copy of Windows.

• Is it possible to upgrade Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 1 has to Service Pack 3?

  I have the original disc of the product. It came as Windows XP SP1a. At in the past (a few years ago), I've upgraded to SP2. I started to receive a STOP error message. I tried to repair the installation of Windows XP Edition family. I can't say for sure right now, but it seems that SP2 just disappeared..., do not know immediately. I always face the STOP error.

  When I get things and rerun, can I put SP1a directly to SP3? I don't know the rules relating to the upgrade.

  Ask the same question in a different way..., can I've actually updated to SP3 Service Pack while jumping on SP2?

  Windows XP Home Edition has always been easy to use. I wouldn't lose it.

  The answer could be just a YES or a no thank you for your time.

  I don't know the rules relating to the upgrade.

• Upgrade Windows 7 Home Edition to Ultimate

  I use a HP desktop computer, model p6310f, who is about 2 years old and comes with Windows 7 Home Premium installed.  He also seems to be the 64-bit version (which is indicated in the computer system "Properties" section.

  I plan to upgrade to Windows Ultimate.

  Is it possible to switch to the x 86 version (32-bit), or do I have to upgrade to x 64?

  More important still, can anyone recommend which is a better choice?

  I also intend to improve all my MS software, and the same question applies to the Agency and other packages?  Any recommendations on whether to go with versions 32 or 64 bits?

  Appreciate any comment there...

  Thank you

  You must install the 64-bit version.
  
  Your computer comes with 6 GB of RAM that need this version of Windows in order to be fully utilized.

• Upgrade Windows 7 Home Edition to Windows 7 Professional

  Hello

  Where can I pass editsion windows 7 (64-bit) home to windows 7 Professional (64 bit)?

  And NO, I don't want windows 10...

  Post proposed by the host to the appropriate forum category. The topic is edited to add clarity.* *.

  Microsoft sells more than win 7.  You can buy a win 7 pro key from a retailer online such as Amazon.com.  You realize that win 7 support ends next year right?

• Upgrade Windows XP Home Edition purchased. Lost product key number because file missing during the move. Have the box with bar code. What should I do to install the upgrade without the key to 27 characters?

  No detail, lack just the key needed to install the upgrade.

  Hi Ytsircfay,

  Unfortunetly Microsoft cannot generate new without the old keys product keys. I look on the machine, if it's OEM and see if there is a key on it. If this isn't the case, then you will need to buy new software with a key.

  I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

• Upgrade in Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.

  I am considering the upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate. I already bought the software Windows Vista Ultimate Edition at a great price from Circuit City when they were going out of business. I am currently using Windows Vista Home Premium. I need to install a program called SolidWorks 2008 CAD - 2009 in College and this program is already bought and in my possession. Family Premium is not compatible with this program. I really don't want to go because I believe that it will lose the ultimate software, but I think, that I have no other choice in order to use my copy of SolidWorks 2008 - 2009. So I have a few questions related to it. Is there a way to get around this, and if not, is there something I need to do or uninstall until I try to install this upgrade? I can't afford to have any problems during this update because I need every day my computer for school. Is a one time installation were I will not be able to use this ultimate software on another computer ever? Thanks for your help.

  Windows Vista Compatibility Center

  Use the foregoing for checks for hardware and software compatibility.

  If it is not Compatible, it is not Compatible with Vista.
  Changing the Vista version it will be not Compatible.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Read this info on running your program in XP SP2 Compatibility Mode:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

  If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
  It works for some programs, but not all.

  This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Looking for Service Pack levels during the upgrade:

  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.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948537

  "How to uninstall Windows Vista service packs"

  If the OS installed Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 1 upgrade disk > uninstall SP2 installed operating system > install the upgrade > reinstall SP2.

  And run the upgrade of a Vista operating system.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If it is a retail upgrade license, it can be transferred to another machine.
  But it can be installed on a single computer at a time.

  See you soon.

  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.

• Windows Vista Ultimate Edition will not be upgraded to Windows 7

  Windows 7 Upgrade says he cannot directly upgrade Windows XP, duh?  I ran the Upgrade Advisor before running the upgrade software and did not get this stupid message. I get only when the software upgrade performs its checks.  I am running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition with all updates to September 24, 2013.

  Which edition of Windows 7? It matches the edition of Vista you are trying to upgrade to?

  When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

  If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

  Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

  Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

  Are you talking about changing the language of Hindi?  If the language you want does not appear in the optional updates in Windows Updates, then you can buy a copy of Windows in the language you want and reinstall Windows.  You can not upgrade.  You will need to do a clean install.
