• Can I upgrade to Windows7 and put an end to these problems?

  I'm having problems

  Started by being told I had a non-legit Windows version: I fixed that by phone. Thank you.

  Now, I can't launch the suite Windows Office, I downloaded. I can not open system properties to find out if I am running 32 or 64 bit, nor can I run the program that you have created to determine if my laptop Toshiba running Vista bought late 2008 is suitable for upgrading to Windows 7. I can't go running back to my Vista installation disc: lost my Vista DVD and product key (paper!) on the bottom of my laptop is degraded to the point of illegibility. So I think I need to invest in Windows 7 or to throw the thing out the window.

  Tosh can only provide the recovery cd and only they can provide the key.

  If you have reinstalled previously using your recovery CD then Belarc Advisor or MagicJellyBean will reveal the key (NB only if you reinstalled)

  If you visit the web site of Tosh, for your specific model you'd see if win7 drivers are avilable, and which was probably installed origonally. Or there could be information specific to the win7 compatibility

  If you have downloaded an Office suite and has failed to pay extra for the cd/dvd I hope you saved the installation file on external media, as well as the key office

  As it is it sounds if your Vista installation is compromised in some way

• can I upgrade my o.s. without having to reinstall my software?

  I have several computers with different to the low level of the Windows operating systems.  I love features the latest OS offers but I have software on my computer I don't want to reload or I can't recharge because I lost the disc or the security code to install it.  So I have not updated the operating system.  Is there a way I can upgrade without charge all my software?

  Any version of Windows prior to Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7 or Windows 8 except for doing a "custom installation" and erase everything on the hard drive before the upgrade.

• Can I upgrade Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows Vista 64 - Bit and preserve everything?

  I have a computer with Windows Vista 32 - Bit OS.  I have also 4 GB of RAM, but as the OS is 32-bit, he acknowledges that 3 out of 4 GB.  So, my question is, can I upgrade to a version 64 bit Vista and preserve files and programs, or what I have to buy a copy of Windows Vista 64-bit?

  Thank you

  Hello.

  No.; You cannot switch from 32-bit to 64-bit.

  It must be done with a new installation of the 64-bit operating system.

  There has never been a way to upgrade.

  You should backup your data, copy it into the 64 bit OS and reinstall all your programs

  Microsoft sells more than Vista.

  And before you buy Windows 7:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Hi JimNorman,

  1. What is the version/edition of windows vista installed on the computer?

  2. How do you try to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 (via anytime put at level or by using a disk)?

  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:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

• Will be able to upgrade my Vista Home Premium, 32-bit Windows7 computer refuses to upgrade to SP2?

  Microsoft told me I can improve my Vista Home Premium to the Enterprise version of Windows7, but it will be a "clean install" (install uninstall complete.).  Should I wait for problems if my computer will not upgrade to Vista Service Pack 2? (I tried all kinds of solutions Microsoft FixIt and Disc Check).

  Hello

  1 have. what troubleshooting measures you tried?

  2. do you get any error code or error message by updating to service pack 2?

  If you can not upgrade to Service Pack 2 for Vista which should not cause concerns to a clean install of Windows 7 and you should be able to do well.

  I suggest that you run Upgrade Advisor before you start the installation of Windows 7.

  And also bring to the top of the data before you start the installation of Windows.

• Can I upgrade to Windows 7 and keep Vista in a virtual machine environment or a dual boot?

  I use Vista Home Premium and I want to upgrade to windows 7. I love Vista and do not want to abandon it. After the upgrade I can install Vista (same drive, same NR) in a virtual machine in tha same computer.

  N ° if this Vista product key has been used to make the upgrade to Windows7, she is technically still in use and can not be installed on any computer (or even the same machine in VM).  You must either complete a version of installation of Window7 - and you must change the product key or do a clean install (so it no longer an upgrade that will release the Vista product) or you need a copy of the complete installation of Vista with its own product key.

  Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.

  Good luck!
