Upgrades from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit to Win 7 Professional 64 bit
I have Windows Vista Premium 32 bit OS on a system Dual Core 2.8 ghz with 8 GB ram and upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit OS. I did the system compatibility check and it says I can upgrade to this version. He said not if I need to format or whatever it is. I have to format it completely on my C: drive to install this?

Can I upgrade to windows vista home Premium 32 bit on 64-bit operating system
Im running windows 7 Home premium on opus 64-bit system. Can I upgrade to windows vista Home premium 32-bit...
Hello
This is not an upgrade from Windows 7 to Vista.
It is a downgrade that Vista is the previous operating system before Windows 7 came out and you would have to BUY a COMPLETE of Vista version and do a fresh install of Vista; but before you buy Vista, check first that your computer manufacturer provides the Vista drivers for your model computer.
Microsoft sells more Vista; Try Amazon.com.

You are unable to update or upgrade Vista 32 bit to 64 bit of Vista.
32-bit to 64-bit, or 64 bit to 32 bit is done by a new installation using a full version of the operating system.
32-bit and 64-bit are different operating systems.

I currently have a HP with Windows 7 on it. I want to wipe my hard drive (a full cleaning) and start again. I have the product key of Windows Vista Home Premium for a 64-bit computer, only to have not only not the disc. Recently, I called HP to get a new, only for them to tell me that they cannot help me because my warranty has expired... Is there somewhere else I can go to to get a disc without key on this product? I just need the diskette. If anyone can help me please, I would be very grateful. Thanks :)
Hello
You can't reinstall Vista on a recovery partition you have installed another operating system
read this:
Solve a common problem of recovery.If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.________________________________________________________
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
you say, that they will not!
________________________________________________________
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

Upgrading from Windows Vista Home Premium at 8 - CPU does not support NX
Hello
I have Vista Home Premium (very probably OEM as it came with the PC) on a PC and I bought the upgrade license to Windows 8 Pro.I understand that it is in terms of the license transition, but here is my problem:The CPU does not support NX (and for sure there is no setting in the BIOS for this).So I can't move to 8.To replace the CPU, I need to replace the motherboard.If I replace the motherboard my understanding is I'm losing the license because it OEM.So, in reality, I can't switch to Win 8.The license, I bought said that I can pass any system running XP, Vista, Win 7 to 8 Win.It does not distinguish between older versions of Windows OEM and retail versions.For me, it's a huge conflict.So the question is:Can I change the CPU + motherboard to earn 8? or not?Thank youIt has been some time but I finally had the time to do the upgrade (hardware + software).For history and for others who could come on this post with a similar question and be discouraged by responses like this:I contacted the technical support of MS and they confirmed that I had a Windows 8 Pro upgrade license and after upgrading my license would Win 8 Pro full-detail (what you want to call it). Essentially, after upgrade, I can reinstall any other motherboard. Of course you can only use a license on a machine at one time.(Of course your upgrade license type may be different to mine, so you should check they type of license)In any case, what is more interesting, it of that I got the confirmation that I can do a clean install and activate my upgrade license. Not only that, but they recommended the installation of Vista should not be present when installing on 8 to win. I was very skeptical and I asked for an account of the cat to be on the right side. They assured me that the support had made several times and is not a problem.And so, I do a clean install on the new motherboard (and a new player) and activated windows 8 with no problems at all.It seems very stupid that you can change the motherboard after the upgrade, but could not make the move and the Windows update at the same time. Fortunately, it is not the case.To me, it seems that the MS are aware that in you to go from XP (soon), they should also use the materials for the upgrade. -
Can I upgrade from Windows 7 home premium 32-BIT to Windows 7 Professional 64-BIT
If I bought Windows 7 Professional upgrade of Windows before my Tech friend screwed up and reinstalled my windows 7-64 BIT FOR a 32-bit, I can use this if upgrade to Windows 7 Professional for a 64-BIT?

WANT TO UPGRADE - Windows 7 Professional 64 BIT
RUN Windows 7-32 BIT UPGRADE TO Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.
Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.
Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

The upgrade in Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate
Hello
I HAV downloaded the ISO file following from the MSDN (en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677460.iso) site for the upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.
How should I now improve my OS from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. Double-click the ISO file says that Windows cannot open the file. How can I open the file? Should it be converted into a .exe file. If so, how?
Thank you.
A .iso file is an image of a dvd. It is not a program or data file. You need to burn this image on a dvd with your burning program. Copy disc, burn to disc. We'll then work the disc in your optical drive.

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?
Really appreciate your time in answering my question.
Despite what you may have "competent" wrong, there is no "free" upgrade to Windows 7. You can buy Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store. Carey Frisch

See my colleague Maurice RESPONSE message in this thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/d6fedf33-dc1b-451f-9aab-97429f916180
If still no joy, contact System Mechanic (iolo.com) supported for assistance-, they are well aware of the problem posed their candidacy.

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 Vista Home Premium 64-bit?
Hello! Can someone tell me how can I make Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit to 64-bit?
Here's my question: -.
1. I bought a version of Windows Vista Edition retail family Premium, the package has only the 32-bit support (DVD). I found a few website say that the product key for the retail version of Windows is for 32-bit and 64-bit, as long as we use 32 - bit or 64 - bit on a single computer at a time. If I'm wrong, anyone could answer my question?
2. now, I plan to move from 32 bit to 64 bit, my problem is that the version sold at retail of Windows that I purchased only contain 32-bit media:-
(a) is there a way I could install the 64-bit Windows?
(b) is it possible I could get 64-bit support?
(c) could I use media in Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit retail a friend to install on my computer? And after installation, I can activate Windows with my product key?
Looking forward to the responses, thank you.
Do you a clean install from 32 bit to 64 bit.
http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsvista/1033/ordermedia/default.mspx
Link above is how you get 64 bit DVD, if you have a retail license.
You can use any Microsoft Vista 64-bit DVD and use your 32 bit key as you say it's Vista Retail
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
