• Is there a possibility of upgrade version OEM of Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit for Windows 7 for free?

  I learned from a few sources online that I can get a 'upgrade' for the version OEM of Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit for Windows 7 free. Is this true? Should I participate in forums feedback for Windows, etc. in order to acquire such a valuable product?

  If not, is there another 'economic' way to get a copy of windows 7?

• P2035n HP (network printer) is uninterrupted printing instead of a single page after upgrade to Win 7 from Vista Home Premium.

  Does anyone have a solution? I downloaded the latest driver for Win-7 HP, still no luck. It worked fine with Vista. Whenever I ask to print a test page, the printer prints and does not print again and again.

  No, for two reasons:

  1. the rule is quite clear. It is a copy (or a license) for each
  computer.

  There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
  effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

  2. even if you have uninstalled it from your wife's computer, you might not
  Install it on your. If it came with the computer of your wife, it is an OEM
  copy and license to get an OEM copy permanently it binds to the first
  It is installed on the computer. It can never be moved to another.

• Upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate - Windows complete PC Backup and Restore

  Dear Madam, dear Sir

  Upgraded my laptop HP DV7 Vista Home Premium to Ultimate, mainly to use Windows complete PC Backup and Restore.

  The restore time and unfortunately no option in the boot menu at startup to restore system from images. No menu advanced etc. I guess starting always remains at the level of the premium and does not provide "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" restore options.

  Grants menu of system restore points, with only the last good restore point and no option to select point of previous restoration or system image to restore from.

  Mmmm nice ideas...

  Thanks in advance

  Good day

  Hello

  Complete PC Backup is designed for the reinstallation of the operating system that you have backed up.

  You access it to start from a Vista DVD.

  To restore a full backup of the computer, you must proceed within the Windows recovery environment. To access the Windows recovery environment, you will need to insert your Vista DVD in the DVD drive on your computer and turn on your computer.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  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.
