  Hello

  I bought a laptop HP with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7. Now, the laptop is damaged for the 2nd time. I would go for a locally assembled desktop computer with Intel, last configuration chipset.

  Can I use Win Vista / Win 7 license key on my desktop? What installer I use (Win Vista or Win 7)? and how do I get the installer?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You cannot transfer the license of Vista.

  If Windows 7 Upgrade was not part of this upgrade offering free back then, you can transfer, but you need an operating system to be installed to upgrade.

  Read this information and you will understand what I mean:

  If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

  Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  See you soon.

• What is the best choice, factory recovery Vista, or upgrade to windows 7?

  Hi everyone, my hp Pavilion a610t/Vista premium, 2.2 G cpu, 3 G ram is begginning to get slow and my registry has been damaged (my cd player does not work because the driver does not not despite all troubleshooting, will not read SD card, task manager blocks and other minor problems that I could continue... etc...) I have 2 years from the end of my studies and need a reliable free trouble PC bu cannot afford to buy a new PC now. What would be the best solution? total factory using recovery disc/Vista OS restore or upgrade OS set to windows 7? I heard windows7 is allot more reliable and trouble free but do not know if my system would work well considering its specifications. Factory restore would give me a new start but eventually vista will act up and is no longer supported... Any advice would be welcome, I'm strictly amateur, and it would make by a Tech unless, its worth trying to fix my problems, but don't know where to start.

  Thank you, Alan

  Hello

  The product key you use to install could be a volume license key, you can contact your network administrator to download the iso from this site http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and install the W8. The W8 will be key during the installation or is installed with the default key that will work for 30 days. If it is installed with a default key, you can change the product key with the suite of measures

  -Run as administrator command line
  -Enter the following command

  slmgr.vbs-ipk TYPE-YOUR-KEY-RIGHT-HERE
  -Now go to the properties of your computer and click on activate Windows.

  She's... You are finished with the activation of new volume Windows8 license.

• Want to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to ultimate... is it possible?

  I looked at many Microsoft websites, which try to direct me to get Win8, I don't want to right now. I got a lot of 'system issues' and if an upgrade to Win7 Ultimate can help. However, I can't know where and how to do it. No 'official' sales, it seems. Not sure I can trust sellers on Amazon-the market place after reading some of the user comments. Someone did he do this upgrade? Suggestions welcome!

  If you experience system problems, upgrade to Windows 7 edition integral will not necessarily solve this problem, you must solve the problem that affects Windows 7 Professional now until you can upgrade ultimate.

  Could you identify the problems you're having with Windows 7 Professional.

  Regarding the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, as online anytime upgrades are no longer available, you will need to purchase a license of Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade.

  Version upgrade - Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade

  If the license for Windows 7 Ultimate, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Ultimate edition at the request, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate files the stored settings and programs.

• Satellite L650 - 15G - upgrade to Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition

  Hello

  I have L650 - 15G with pre installed W7HP.
  I want to improve this, Pro or ultimate.
  As I come from UNITED Arab Emirates, Windows any time upgrade is not possible. Is there another way to upgrade?

  Also the Toshiba provides no upgrade option?
  The upgrade is also very expensive * 120 pounds *.

  Is there a cheaper option?

  Hi dude

  See this Microsoft page:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/UK/Windows/default.aspx
  Here you can find details on the upgrade to Windows 7.

  > Also Toshiba provides no upgrade option?
  To my knowledge, it was possible to upgrade Vista to Win 7 operating system and these updates were provided by Toshiba in the past, but is no longer available again

  So, in my opinion, you can use the update opportunities provided by Microsoft.

• Install Vista SP1/upgraded to Windows 7

  I tried to update this Dell XPS 410 (2 GB) for Win 7 for three days now without success.

  When I started, I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, who said that I had to install Service Pack 1.  I tried, but couldn't.  Just to be sure I wasn't facing some old screw ups, I did a clean install of Vista Home Premium (which came with the computer) and installed all the Windows Update says updates are available without errors.  I think it was around 104.  Curiously, that does not include SP1.

  Then I downloaded and tried to install SP1.  I get this error when I do: "an internal error occurred during the installation of the service pack. Error code: 0x007000D.  See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=101139. "

  I went to this webpage (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947366#readiness) and have gone through the steps.

  1. He recommended to download the stand-alone package for the update and trying to install that.  I did this and got the above error.
  2. It is recommended that download and run the system update readiness tool.  I did that (it took more than two hours!), restarted the computer and tried again to install SP1.  I got the same error.
  3. She recommended to close all applications and try to install SP1 - I had nothing else running while this was accomplished in step 2.
  4. At this point, he said "If your problem is still not resolved, you can try the steps of troubleshooting on your own, or you can contact Microsoft technical support.".  I don't know how to contact Microsoft technical support, so I'm here.

  I am only running Microsoft Security Essentials; I guess that would not get in the way, but I've disabled real-time protection and tried to install - same error.

  I'm about at the end of the things that I know to try.  How can I get Windows 7 installed?  I have three computers (almost) identical and installed Win 7 on the first without any difficulty.  Took about two hours.

  Can anyone help?  I need all three of them on Win 7 as soon as possible.    It's frustrating to have so much wrong.

  The machine looks good all other ways.  He has installed Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and some third-party software, HP printer, and an another USB device.  I did a chkdsk - weather.  I have installed Dell Support Center: it checks the material and the machine passes all the tests.

  Assistance would be appreciated.  A way to circumvent the requirement of SP1 and install Win 7 anyway?

  I [was] trying to install SP1 manually, because it has not offered by Windows Update...

  There are all sorts of reasons that Vista SP1 was not offered through Windows Update so far. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948343.

  If you need help go to Win7, please post in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_install-windows_7?page=1&tab=all

• can I reuse my retail ultimate vista after upgrading to windows 8 pro

  Hello

  I read somewhere that after upgrading my Vista Ultimate retail copy to Windows Pro I can reuse the key product & Vista Ultimate DVD on another computer, is - it true?

  Thank you

  FLOSS

  Hello

  No, it is not true.

  If you upgraded from Vista to Windows 8 using the Vista license under the qualification of license, the license of Vista becomes an integral part of the legal license of 8 Windows and you are not allowed to install Vista on another computer.

  See you soon.

• Windows Vista free upgrade to Windows 7 - GONE - WRONG!

  Hello.

  I bought this computer (HP Pavilion Dv61210 - his) coming 3 years ago now. I paid extra when I bought it to get the "free" upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 (which was not yet published).

  Anyway, the laptop died a few weeks ago and comes back with a new hard drive and you guessed it, VISTA! I hate Vista! I'd rather have XP Vista any day - but I want my copy of 7 back. If someone can advise on how I can do this, I would really apprecaite it. I know that the download page has been foolishly removed the other everything on time and the old hard drive is completely dead.

  I don't see why, after paying extra money on top (so the upgrade was not really free!), I can't have the operating system that I paid for. It is simply not good enough. I paid for the copy of windows 7 and I do not know that HP have documents who was eligeable / who downloaded the upgrade - which I am sure they can find me on as this is the same computer, series / product number, address recorded at etc - so I don't see why I can't get my copy , either to download or by mail on a disk for me.

  And prior to the issuance of the; "Yes, but they do not give you the discs any cause you can put it on computer and then one more" comes when you buy a copy in the store, on a disk, you can do this - does not mean that we all do well! I have HP hard drive dead if need be prove my copy is lost. Hell, they can take my laptop and install the OEM version on it for all, I worry so it would certainly be installed only on a single computer!

  THIS IS WHY PEOPLE NEED DISKS, HP!  IF YOUR PRODUCT FAILS, AS THIS ONE DID, WHY WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY MORE BECAUSE YOUR PRODUCTS ARE OF INFERIOR QUALITY? If I had the copy that I paid for a drive, I wouldn't even be here ranting about it, CAUSE I had HAVE RE-INSTALLED IT ALERADY!

  I think his dispicable to delete the download page and prevent people to recover expensive software, in this case a BONE, they paid for (and the computer only on the condition that he would have to purchase Windows 7 when it is released). It's basically theft! When you pay for something and you don't get it, you don't accept it! No, you're saying "they stole my money!"...

  It's not like HP is so tight on cash, they need to do these things, so that people who cannot afford having to buy new things all the time thanks to remove any kind of person to find their products! Absolutely disgusting!

  I even remember that when I was downloading the upgrade and internet problems, I called HP and was told by the woman if I could not download it, I could not have the disk and there is no refund. So I said: 'it means you're telling me that I paid for a product you can't have and you don't give me my money back?' and she said 'yes' and hung up. Shows you how much HP cares about their customers! Disgusting!

  Will not buy this brand again, definitely! The level of what is called 'customer service' is enough for you put off, never mind of waste like that!

  you have your product key for windows 7?

  If so, you can download windows 7 from the link below, it will be an ISO file which can be burned to DVD as an image. Be sure to download the correct version (Home or pro) and language.

  Hello Tamszoo,

  Thank you for your message.  Please provide details, you get a boot option when you start your computer for Vista or 7?  Or you see abnormal disk space?  If the use is why you think that Vista is still installed it is very probably the folder windows.old on your system after the upgrade.  Please let us know so that we can better help you get this issue resolved.
