• Thinking about upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8? Consider these things

  Hi all

  If you are thinking about your computer for the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8, there are a few things to consider.

  I hope this information helps you help with a successful upgrade!

• Will there be a direct upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 8 final version?

  Migration to Windows XP 8

  Will there be a direct upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 8 final version?  If so, are there details around this yet?

  If by "direct" you mean that you don't have to reinstall your applications, then almost certainly this option will be available.

  If you simply mean "l will be able to use an upgrade rather than a full license" - it's a lot more muddy waters, but I suspect that MS is going to cut the rug under the judicious XP and only allow upgrades from Vista and Win7.

  Hello
  
  What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
  Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
  Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
  Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:

• Is it possible to upgrade from Windows 98 or Me to Windows Vista?

  I'm having a discussion with a colleague.  Does anyone know if it is possible to do an UPGRADE of Windows 98 and Windows ME for Vista?  Or you have to do a clean install of Vista?  Can you upgrade from Windows 98 and Windows ME to XP and then move from XP to Vista?  Any help would be appreciated.

  original title: the upgrade to Vista

  I don't know if it is possible to upgrade 98 Me XP, but I know you can't straight upgrade 98 to vista. You can only pass a single version, so it should be XP to vista.

• Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 for free. Format a hard drive with Windows 10. Same upgrade again.

  I have laptop which has been also upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. But it works very well. But on PC I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 free without entering a product key. So at the beginning I had same problem as in this case:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-update/blackgrey-screen-after-update-and-restart/a3b479de-b565-48D9-8640-73ba8dcdc5d8
  Which I was not able to solve. A kind of workaround was to create another user. But with that I lost all settings. So I restored Windows 10 in original condition and everything was fine. Until this happens:
  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/cant-access-change-user-account-control-settings/da8c63a9-F995-4e8b-88d8-34c4d813084e

  I tried all the answers, that is to create another user, or use points of restoration, or boot. There is nothing to solve this problem. Then at first, I tried to apply USB recovery but after all treatment, there was an error and the only option to restart. Second, I tried to restore the system, which also failed. I'm done with formatting hard drive and use the Windows 7 DVD. I skipped looking for updates and you don't have invitation to upgrade in the taskbar. That said, when I tried to upgrade to Windows 10 with GetWindows10 - Web_Default_Attr.exe app after about 1-2 hout of certain operations it asks me to enter the product key and there is no option to skip this step.

  Is it possible to upgrade once more at all? Do I need to install all updates for Windows 7 first? Or GetWindows10 - Web_Default_Attr.exe app is not a good way for me to upgrade?

  If you have your Windows 7 product key, you can use it to install a new copy of Windows 10:

• The upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 Pro after the hard drive took a dive.

  Hello, I have an old Dell Inspiron E1505, I bought in 2006, which I have upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 Pro last an online purchase that came with a product key of designertechsoftware.com in April of 2014. Months later, the hard drive has so I replace w / a 60 GB one and replaced the RAM w / 2-1 GB cards. I don't have a disc of Windows 7 Pro but I got it work using the old XP dics, originally, it came with. Can I use this disc to enter the product key code that I got online for Windows 7? I see there is an upgrade option that comes up when I run the XP disk once it's been installed on my laptop. Thanks in advance for your help in my question. Not sure if it has been already answered the previous question.

  Your best option is to ask a backup copy or to borrow the corresponding edition, you have a license from a friend. Ensure that it is a upgrade disk or any retail version is authentic.

So I check also and I found an upgrade wizard of Windows 8.1, tried and it gave me the keep the files and applications, but the next screen tells me that no offer is available in the form of my country and have the option when I choose to keep files or anything.

  Unfortunately, there is no way to direct upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, you must first upgrade to Windows 8, then move to 8.1 Windows through the store or using one of your MSDN/media licenses in order to preserve personal files, applications, and settings.
