Vista to 7 using the same disc?

I have Windows 7 64 bit on my Sony Vaio laptop that I had to buy that copy on it has stopped working, a $179 I was planning on spending and my dell vostro 220 which has windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit, I was notified is no longer supported, can I use the same disks of Windows 7 to upgrade my obsolete vista which has a reaccuring virus I can't seem to get rid of. I kept the dell in good shape, maxed out the memory, added a graphics nVidia video card. I know it's up there in age but I am now disabled and simply not have extra money for a new office using the copy of Windows 7, I bought 64-bit would be really useful because I'm familiar with 7, and I really don't want the headache of 10 plus expenses. I saw all kinds of ways to burn copies of Windows 7, I don't know I have confidence in them to work. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

No, the key that can be used with 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 is exclusively for use with the disc 1. You cannot use install both. 1 license, 1 installation, so choose wisely.

    Hello

    The drive came with the laptop or you did it yourself in the recovery Partition?

    And you're supposed to boot from the recovery disc to start the recovery process.

    You change the Boot order to make the CD/DVD drive first in the boot order. Then, you start from the disc.

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    And as a way to re - install with most of the Toshibas, you press 0 (zero) to start to start the process of recovery back to settings factory (new State) of the recovery Partition.

  • Impossible to upgrade to windows vista ultimate from vista home Basic using the upgrade disc

    I bought a disc "to upgrade use only" Windows Vista Ultimate at my University and tried to upgrade my current version of Windows (Vista Home Basic).

    At the stage where I had to select the 'Upgrade' or 'Custom' installation option, I noticed that the interface was telling me, 'Upgrade Disabled"with a message that has been along the line"this version of windows is already installed and cannot be upgraded."
    I know that the upgrade disc was probably intended for the upgrade from an earlier version of Windows like XP, but I assumed that because Microsoft also sells discs "Anytime Upgrade" to do exactly what I'm trying to accomplish this I would have had no problem.
    For any help or suggestion that contact would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    It's all about Service Pack.
    We don't know what you have.

    If Service Packs came pre-installed on the operating system, there is no way to uninstall them.
    You will need to swap the disk to upgrade to a later version that includes the missing Service Pack.

    In this case, your upgrade disk has NO Service Pack installed with it.

    Take it back to the University, if you cannot uninstall SP1 operating system.

  • Installign 7 64-bit windows Vista 32-bit using the upgrade disc

    I have a toshiba satellite running a 32-bit vista. I got the upgrade windows 7 toshiba drive which contained both 32 and 64-bit. When I did a clean install of windows 7 it installed 32-bit. It gives me an option to install the 64-bit. Is it possible to install windows 7 64 bit?

    Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit are on a separate disk, they are not both on a single disc.

  • If I restart my computer I can use the same disc I used before?

    Hi my office is full of viruses and I really think that the best option is to clean everything as if it was when new... but I have a disk of windows 7 (I don't want to buy another copy) my question is can I really do? and if so, is it the same process?

    As long as it's the same edition/installation disk that was used to install Windows 7 in the first place, Yes.

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  • my pc is Windows xp. but I up grade to windows7 and I want to register with microsoft. can I use the same disc if I reboot my pc?

    help me with this plese...

    It is not clear what you're asking. Next time please put your question - with enough detail to be clear - in the body of the message, not on the subject line.

    I interpret your message to mean:

    1. you have a computer with Windows XP.
    2. you're going to buy a Windows 7 upgrade, using the Windows XP install like materials for upgrading qualification.
    3. you want to know if you can use the Windows XP license on another computer.

    If I interpreted your message correctly, the answer is 'no '. The Windows XP license is subsumed under the license of Windows 7 when you use it for an upgrade.

    If this wasn't what you meant, please clarify. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Restore MBR from Vista using the XP disc

    Is it possible to use a windows xp install disk to restore a bad MBR in a system windows vista being that they use the same file system?

    No - you need the same version of Windows and the same bit-size as well.

    For the MBR and other boot problems, follow these steps:

    ·       Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps: (you need an Installation of Vista disc to do that)

    1. put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. press a key when you are prompted.

    3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then clickNext.

    4. click onrepair your computer.

    5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then clickNext.

    6. in theSystem Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    7 TypeBootrec.exe and press ENTER.

    Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

    ·       bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    ·       c:

    ·       Boot CD

    ·       BCD attrib s h - r

    ·       Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

    Bootrec /RebuildBcd

    If you do not have the disk, try EasyBCDhttp://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 and see if that helps the problem.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • Can I use the Microsoft disc to update my window XP system to Windows 7 to update my laptop from Vista to Windows 7, I have purchased

    I bought a download to upgrade my XP to Windows 7 32-bit desktop computer. I also bought the discs 32 and 64 bit.

    Can I use the same drive to upgrade my computer laptop version of Vista to Windows 7? They will work or do I need to download again?

    First of all, note that you can use an upgrade, you cannot make a
    update from XP to Windows 7. You'll have to do a cleaning
    installation.

    Secondly, I do not understand why you bought both the download and the
    disks. It would appear that you need one. Can you elaborate?

    Can I use the same drive to upgrade my computer laptop version of Vista to Windows 7? They will work or do I need to download again?

    You need a copy of Windows 7 for each machine. You cannot use the
    copy the same for both machines. But if you bought two copies, you can use
    one of them for each machine.

  • New upgrade of Windows 7 using the upgrade disc

    Hello

    I have some annoying problems which suggests that I should reinstall W7.

    History:-Toshiba laptop purchased with Vista Home Premium includes a recovery disk. Upgrade to W7 Home Premium 32 bit (now in SP1) from a purchased upgrade disk. Everything is OK and all files etc works OK after using the easy transfer. Now, after 3 1/2 years in this State, the problems (which include backup, IE, blue screen, heavy CPU usage) worsen.

    So: - can I re - pass using the same upgrade disc in order not to destroy my files and settings, drivers, etc?

    I am aware that I could do a clean install using upgrade disk (that's the only option I found answers to the community) but things are not so bad as I want the agro to do at this point. My concern is that Qualification record cannot accept the same existing software with the same product key valid.

    All advice would be welcome.

    Thank you, David.

    Hello David,.

    Thank you for your response.

    When you repair Windows 7 or upgrade site, your programs will remain installed. Not to cause suffering.

    Note: I strongly recommend to back up all your important files and folders on an external storage device before performing any type of repair operating system or upgrade.

    Thank you

  • I already have one zero drive for FCP 7 projects implemented.  I would use the same scratch drive for FCP 10.  Is there a special way of implementation is seamless?

    Said to implement the scratch disc so I can use the same hard drive for FCP 7 and 10 projects - something on a folder separated for 10 projects.  What are the steps to do t his?

    More details would be useful. You have already imported media in FCP7? Or you are just starting to work with both applications at the same time? What application you plan to use to ingest media? Don't try to use them both for ingest.  You can set FCPX to use the FCP7 Capture Scratch location for your support and then let the media imported in place. You can also assign a location for media to import using FCPX and then use this location for FCP7, again leaving the media in place.

    Or I totally misunderstood and you only talking about using the same drive, which is not a problem at all.
