Vista Business Home Premium vs:

I have a desktop running Vista Home Premium.  I have vista original home premium and key for this drive.

I also have a laptop running Vista Business.  This OS has been pre-installed (OEM) when I got it.  I got the key stuck label

on my laptop.  I want to reinstall vista on my laptop (because I want to format the hard drive) but only the

system backup disks that were created after that I got the laptop.  Question: Can I reinstall Vista Business using Vista Home

Drives high-end but with my Vista Business key?  (Authentication key won't be a problem because I have legal)

OS authenticated on the desktop and the laptop.)

Hello

"I have a desktop running Vista Home Premium.  I have vista home disc premium and key to it original. »

You tell us if the desktop came with Vista pre-installed Vista OEM license (Dell, etc.).

If this is the recovery of an OEM license disk manufacturing; No, you can not use it on the laptop.

"system backup disks that were created after that I got the laptop."

If they are recovery disks, the software of the manufacturer of the laptop computer created when you followed the instructions, use them to re - install.

To do what you want to do with the laptop you need a DVD of Microsoft Vista, not the manufacturer's recovery disk (Home Premium or other)

Read about it:

You can 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.

Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • Microsoft has created a solution to change language of operating system for users of Vista/7 Home Premium yet?

    I went through a few questions and answers in this forum on the modification of the language of the OS to Vista/7 Home Premium, but all these date 2006/7/8. A lot of users like me who do not know as well with facilities and language modules and are stuck with a version of Windows in a language other than their desired language were invited to 'Pay for the upgrade to Enterprise/Ultimate' or "Buy a new desired language copy of Windows".

I am aware of a third party software to change the language of the interface but it is not legal and it sometimes makes no real windows and update issues. Anyone with new ideas?

    Contact the person who sold it to your and get a replacement or Exchange CD-ROM.

    There is no place on the way to upgrade 32-bit versions of Windows to Windows 7 64 bit. You will need to do a custom installation.

    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 necessary

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE: Installation of Vista Edition Home Premium processor in a box

    Hi guys, I would like to ask you a difficult question for me :)

    I have Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit OEM Czech and
    DVD from Toshiba product recovery. I converted (boxed) Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 Eng as a gift
    There are. And now to the point :) - I would like to install this new Vista Home Premium instead of
    Home base OEM.

    1.) am I allowed to install Home Premium without any problem? (I'm worried the WinRE partition)

    2.) if I can't do it because of the WinRE partition, can I save this partition and remove it?

    (3.) if I do, I am able to download all the drivers from Toshiba site driver Toshiba (value
    added package for the most part)?

    4.) I am able to download all the utilities Toshiba?

    5.) if I use the product Recovery DVD in the future (with this Home Basic OEM), it will work if WinRE partition
    is deleted?

    Thank you for your response.

    Hello

    (1) you can install the new Vista easily. When installing new Vista installation program should create a new WinRE partition too. If don t be worried. But I recommend creating a backup of your important files such as mp3, photos, etc...

    (2) you can do the installation should be possible and should go smoothly. But don t forget to include the SATA drivers that are necessary to recognize the HARD drive. On the Toshiba page, you might find the Intel Storage Manager that contains the SATA driver. Include the driver during the installation procedure using the F6 key.

    (3) Yes, Vista drivers should appear on the page of the European driver Toshiba.

    (4) see point 3 ;)

    (5) the product recovery DVD will format the whole HARD drive. It will delete the partitions and all will remove the HARD drive. And it will also create the new WinRE partition. Simply said; the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs will fix the laptop back to factory settings
