The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7
I just bought Windows 7 upgrade Windows Vista. I get the error message: operation is not supported on this platform.

A custom installation requires you to back up your files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer and then reinstall everything after installing the new. If an update install does not install work, you need to do a custom.
In addition, a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade will not work and you get a message from a platform if you have bought a UA and tried to use it with Vista. Vista upgrade requires a detail, a copy in the Windows 7 box.

A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:Back up any files and settings you want to keep

As indicated in the question, I bought an anytime upgrade in store today. I use a 32-bit version of Vista. The pack did not come with a cisd, but that a cd key with instructions to enter the Windows Anytime Upgrade, and then select enter an upgrade key. This option is not there. The only option that IS there is 'compare the editions of Windows Vista.
My question. What now? I got back and beg you to take this if I buy a new kit of Windows 7 at home, or what I ultimately throw it and waste $130 and buy another back pack?
Hello
1. from which store did you purchase Anytime Upgrade?
Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available for Windows Vista. See this.
If you're running Windows Vista and want to upgrade your PC, go online to upgrade to Windows 7.
I would recommend that you contact Microsoft (if purchased from a legitimate source) Store with your concern.

Hello!
To be honest it's a little hard to understand your question.
What exactly is your problem? I think you want to register on the site to upgrade to Windows 7.
I n t have experience with this because I didn t buy such a phone compatible update yet, but I think that you need the serial number and the model number of the laptop. The two pieces of information you can find on the underside of the laptop.Don t forget that this upgrade option is available for laptop purchased from June 26, 2009 to January 31, 2010.
