Upgrade Windows XP home to Windows 7 starter edition netbook

I have a netbook HP 110 supplied with XP Home installed, how can I get an upgrade from Windows 7 starter for her?  I realize that XP will soon be deleted by Microsoft and my Netbook will have an unsupported operating system.

You can't buy the Starter, but you can buy Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. XP is supported until 2014.

If you don't have a DVD drive, you will need to use USB.

USB Flash ISO - if you downloaded the ISO file and you want to install Windows 7 using a flash drive:

Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool allows you to create a copy of your ISO of Windows 7 file on a Flash DRIVE or a DVD. To create a bootable DVD or USB flash drive, download the ISO file and then run the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. Once this is done, you can install Windows 7 directly from the Flash DRIVE or a DVD. If you have a 4 GB or more large USB key (or external hard drive), and the computer can boot from USB:

USB stick installation files - WinToFlash is a practical application that will help you transfer your Windows 7 installation from a hard drive or DVD to USB flash in a few steps. That you can install Windows 7 from a flash card, USB stick, HDD, etc to your computer or netbook. If you have downloaded the .box file extract everything first. If you have a 4 GB or more large USB key (or external hard drive), and the computer can boot from USB:

Installation custom own steps

Time to use:

Switching from XP to 7, or not supported in place upgrade paths (ex: Vista Home Pro 7)

A Windows system to 32 bit on a 64 bit system, or change the language

Don't want to make a room upgrade, or if you want a fresh install / clean

You can use a Full Windows 7 or upgrade disk to do a custom clean install. This will remove all of your programs, but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so. You will need to reinstall all your programs after installing Windows 7. Here are the steps:

1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known problems that might affect installation and if you can install the 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

2. backup all your files and settings to avoid losing documents, photos and other information. Windows Easy Transfer is a free tool to copy files (not programs) from your PC and then transfer back after installation of Windows 7. If you don't want to use Windows Easy Transfer, you can copy your files to a Flash DRIVE or CD/DVD. Note: The easy transfer will not work when changing languages, or when moving from 64 bit to 32 bit (it will work ranging from 32-bit to 64-bit).

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/Windows-easy-transfer

3. find the discs installation and license/product associated to all your programs keys, because you have to manually reinstall all programs. If you have downloaded some Internet programs you can redownload them.

4. place the Windows 7 disc in your DVD player (or use your USB). A window should appear from the installation process, when asked the type of installation do you want click on custom (advanced option). Note: 32 to 64-bit requires restart and boot from the DVD.

5. when Windows 7 is installed, you can use Windows Easy Transfer (or a different backup method you used) to restore your files & settings and use your installation disks to reinstall all your programs. Then you're done - take advantage of Windows 7.

  • Windows Anytime Upgrade: Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Home Premium

    It could not be upgraded.

    I read the KB and found this upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit Windows 7 is not allowed.

    But not sure that this is the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit or 64-bit.  Can I know how to check?  There is no word such as x 64 or 64-bit key on the COA label.

    What I am sure, is that Windows 7 Starter is SP1, while the Windows 7 Home Premium has no preloaded service pack.

    The above information is sufficient for anyone to help out me?  What other ways can I try?  (I don't have DVD of Windows 7 Starter, the reason why I don't have the DVD Windows 7 Home Premium, is that the PC was purchased from HP that came without any Windows installation disk and the recovery disks that I created were easier to read by the optical drive).

    Product keys are not specific architecture (32-bit or 64-bit), as long as you have corresponding to a key for the edition you want to install, you can use either 32-bit or 64-bit version of it.

    What I am sure, is that Windows 7 Starter is SP1, while the Windows 7 Home Premium has no preloaded service pack.

    Windows 7 Starter Edition is 32-bit only, so if you had to do an upgrade to Home Premium, it would lead to a 32-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium only. If you need to migrate to a 64-bit version of Home Premium, you will need to invest in a license to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium retail that includes 64-bit disk.

    The above information is sufficient for anyone to help out me?  What other ways can I try?  (I don't have DVD of Windows 7 Starter, the reason why I don't have the DVD Windows 7 Home Premium, is that the PC was purchased from HP that came without any Windows installation disk and the recovery disks that I created were easier to read by the optical drive).

    If you have Windows 7 Starter installed, it is likely on a Netbook, running a 64-bit would probably be too much for such a system, I suggest you stick with 32 bit Windows 7 Home Premium if you need the features it offers.

    Windows 7 64 bit comes in handy when you need to deal with at least 4 GB of RAM or more. Windows 7 32 bit can use up to 3.2 GB of RAM. Because the address space of memory is much larger for 64-bit Windows, this means that you need two times more memory than the 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do much more, you can have more apps open, do things like run a virus scan in the background it will affect the performance of your system. 64-bit Windows 7 is safer too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable because they must be signed before it can work with 64 bit Windows 7.

    Regarding compatibility, you need device drivers 64-bit hardware devices, you may have. In addition, there is no 16-bit subsystem in Windows 7 64-bit, which means, your applications must be 32-bit only, not 16-bit Installer or programs uninstall

    Probably means that you have a copy of Windows 7 32 bit installed on your computer and you are trying to download and install a 64 bit version of Windows 7.

    You can't do an anytime upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit. New ball game. Requires installation not an anytime upgrade.

  • Upgrade Windows 7 Starter to professional on an Asus Netbook

    I've upgraded Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Pro on my Asus Netbook. Seems to be going smoothly, but slow execution of programs and surf the web.  I guess that I expected an improvement. I went to Windows Update at any time, when he asked my key updated code it tells me that the code is not valid. (I really wish that it would allow you to cut and paste in the confirmation e-mail.)

    Is that what I can do before calling customer support Monday? Is an increase in the speed an unrealistic expectation?

    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.

    This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Samsung: Press the F4 key to the Samsung logo when you turn first.

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  • Windows 7 Starter Edition and LabWindows/CVI

    Hello

    I have two questions/problems with an application written with CVI 9.0.1 and CVI 2009 respectively Windows Vista professional.

    First if I have a distribution of my software package (or a version of a sample distribution package) and you want to install it on a netbook with Windows 7 Starter Edition Setup displays the following error message:

    "This product does not support Windows Starter Edition."

    Is this just a restriction of the installation program, or CVI will never support the Starter Edition?

    We often sell these netbooks as well as our units of measurement as an input/output device. But I think that in a future close all netbooks will use Windows 7 instead of XP and above all the Starter Edition.

    So if it is not taken in charge this will help upgrade netbooks to Windows 7 Home Premium? I have already tested Windows 7 Professional and it works, but I do not want to install Professional on a netbook...

    My second question also the Starter Edition.

    I'm building a kit of distribution of working space example "interp.cws" (curve fit and Interpolation) with the runtime engine installed in the application directory. If I run the .msi instead of the setup.exe package then the software has been installed on the system.

    So I can run the software, and it seems to work. But if the software calls a function in the library of analysis advanced (for example, the Spline Interpolation) it does not work. With remote debugging I discovered that there was a nonlethal runtime error "the analysis DLL library is not found or could not be loaded" during the spline function calls.

    The same sample works fine with Windows 7 Professional.

    Is this also a restriction of the CVI, and will be the reason (or one of the reasons) did not support the Starter Edition?

    Or is there a workaround for these errors?

    Best regards

    M.S.

    National Instruments supports Windows 7 Starter; However, just as now, our facilities are defined to stop any Windows Starter Edition is detected.  This is because XP and Vista Starter Editions were marketed to emerging markets and had severe limitations of performance.

    You should make sure that your specific product supports Windows 7.  If this is the case you can follow the instructions in the knowledge base

  • Mini Netbook - Windows 7 Starter Edition - are you making fun of me having to BUY a copy of the House or other?

    I don't know if it's the right place to ask, but MS is a joke that I have to upgrade my new height of about $119 the Win 7 Starter netbook that accompanies it?  I'm having flashbacks on the disks 'step-up' to buy every week it seemed to BACK 6... was it?  Man, I'm sad.

    Hello

    Just to clarify things a little.

    Originally, very early in the beta version of Windows 7 (Jan/Feb 2009), Microsoft drew the Windows 7 Starter edition for new markets the technology like Windows XP Starter and Windows Vista starter editions have been designed. It was OEM that pushed Microsoft companies to make the Windows 7 Starter edition available for OEM Netbook market.

    Microsoft responded by the Starter edition available for OEMs and replaced by the basic edition of Windows 7 Home Edition for emerging technology markets. The restrictions contained in the Starter edition were well known and announced at least 6 months.

    You can upgrade the Windows 7 Starter to Home Premium edition for about 80 USD, using Windows Anytime Upgrade.

    I hope this helps.

    One old but very popular with personal accounts of program Quicken 98 works fine on Windows 7 Starter edition, which is the operating system on my laptop, but behaves poorly on my desktop that runs on the rich in fat Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Unfortunately, you have not the possibility to extend your desktop to an external monitor or projector in Windows 7 Starter edition. It would be best to upgrade to Windows 7 family premium, professional, Ultimate or enterprise.

  • kb2416471 install fails with 80070BC9 on Windows 7 Starter Edition.

    Hello.

    I have serious problems with the installation of .NET Framework 3.5.1 security update on my Asus Eee PC 901 running Windows 7 Starter edition.

    Whenever I try to install it, I get error 80070BC9. I tried to repair Windows Update, but it does not help.

    In some forums on the Internet, it is suggested to turn off .NET Framework 3.5.1 in Windows 7, but it is not possible to do this on Windows 7 Starter, given that this option is available in the Windows features.

    It's even more annoying because Windows will continue to try to install this update several times, every time I start the computer.
