• New computer without OS. Have Win98 OEM, upgrade XP Home Edition, and upgrade Vista Home Premium software.

  I entered the confusion there is trying to install the software above in the obviously logical order of about 18 months.

  I was puzzled by the comment of the information for the purpose (I don't remember exactly) that Vista could not be installed because its ranking system is different from XP.

  I "solved" the problem by buying the full version of Windows 7.

  Is there a way I could have installed upgrading Vista - IE an upgrade of an upgrade?

  I ask because I do the same thing again.

  I don't know which comment you are referring to-XP and Vista can use the same file systems (FAT16, FAT32, NTFS).

  Windows 98 won't probably install or run on a new computer.  Here's how you might have used the upgrade of Vista:

  1. Start from the family XP Edition upgrade disk.
  2. When the installation process asks you a qualifying version of Windows, insert the Windows 98 CD.
  3. Once the installation is complete, start Windows XP.
  4. Insert the Windows Vista upgrade disk and do the upgrade.

  I upgraded my card mother cpu ram and hard drive. I reinstalled windows xp home edition has got all of the updates. After 9 latest updates download and installtion was going well until I rebooted the computer and go to page window showing all the icons that I get a blue screen and the computer restarts its self and does not stop. How can this be corrected?

  Hi KevinRy,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  Unplug all external devices.

  Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

  Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

  1.	Right-click my computerand then click Properties.
  2.	Click the Advanced tab.
  3.	Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.
  4.	Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.
  5.	Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

  Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

  Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

  Kind regards
  Amal-Microsoft Support.

• Update XP Home Edition SP3 for XP Professional SP2. It's less work to do an upgrade?

  I am running XP Home Edition SP3 and loaded Visual 2005 and find the tutorial that I use for Visual c# 2005 must have XP Professional SP2 (but I don't know SP3 would also work) and I don't want to have to do whold many other changes.  Am I right that installing a version upgrade is the best option?  Any suggestions?  The speed of machine and disk space is fine.

  What Daave said... more

  It is difficult nowadays to find the installation CD of infringement for any version of XP, so before you go to eBay or a similar place to find an XP Pro upgrade CD, really tried your tutorial and it had fail or are you just read the 'minimum requirements' from somewhere?

  If you have not tried to run on your system, I suggest to try this before doing anything else.  If you have failed, what was the specific error, without paraphrasing, that was displayed? There may be a workaround solution that someone here might suggest.

• I am running Microsoft Windows XP Home edition Version 2002 Service pack 3, use the 32-bit or 64-bit upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium?

  running Microsoft Windows XP Home edition Version 2002 Service pack 3, used the 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade?

  I followed the instructions on the card that came with the software... indicating that, if I look at my computer it was telling me that my computer works... either 64 or 32, but it does not work.  So my question is, how do you know?

  You probably have the 32-bit version of XP (in most individuals, and if your system properties page does not have 64-bit, then you have 32-bit.)

  However, if you now have XP 32 - bit or 64-bit XP isn't the issue that relate to your decision to install 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7.  This decision depends on the question to know if your hardware can support a 64-bit operating system.  In this regard, the main reason for users to install a 64-bit operating system is to allow the use of more than 4 GB of RAM.  If your hardware does support more than 4 GB of RAM, there is no interest to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

  You run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor?  With what results?

  Click Start > run and type msinfo32 in the "Open" box and click OK.
  After the system information window has had time fill, click Edit > select all, and then click Edit > copy.

• 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.

• How to recover data after the upgrade to Windows XP Home Edition?

  Original title: lost data

  My Windows XP program has been replaced by Windows XP Home Edition. Some data was not justified.

  Is it possible to recover the data?

  My Windows XP program has been replaced by Windows XP Home Edition. Some data was not justified.

  Is it possible to recover the data?

  First of all, please note that Windows XP Home Edition is an edition of Windows XP. So it makes no sense to say that your "Windows XP program has been replaced by Windows XP Home." Exactly what edition of Windows XP you have before it was replaced with XP Home?

  In the second place, who did the replacement, and exactly how it was? Was this an upgrade? A new installation? He did go in Windows or by booting from the CD XP Home?

  Thirdly, it was not justified to exactly what data?

  Fourth, it depends on your answers to the above questions, but in all likelihood, it says No Mo is quite right: If you do not have a backup of your data on an external, you're probably out of luck, and the data are gone.

  You can read this article on the backup that I wrote: 'Return to top your computer regularly and reliable' to http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=314

• I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3, 32-bit and IE8. Do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

  I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3, 32-bit and IE8.  Do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

  The upgrade to Windows 7 is a personal decision.  Chances are that if you can do what you need to do on Windows XP then it is 'useless' to upgrade.  If you plan the upgrade anyway, you should first check to see that your hardware is supported under Windows 7.  To do this, Microsoft has provided a program of "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" to run on your current computer.
