Will it take another key to upgrade to windows 7 vista. Help, please

If I update to Windows vista home premium, windows 7 Home premium or professional, I need another key to update or my vista key will cover for her. Also can I use my key of vista on windows 7? Someone please answer

You will need to purchase a Windows 7 Product Key/drive upgrade Vista to Windows 7.

You cannot use your Vista on Windows 7 key.

And Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional is NOT an upgrade path.

  • Microsoft welcomed the missing network adapter after upgrading to Windows 10. Help, please!

    I can no longer create a hotspot since I updated to windows 10. Microsoft hosted network adapter does not appear on the device manager that I can't fix by using the suggestions google gives. This is stressing out me!

    It is a driver problem. You can open a command prompt and run netsh wlan show drivers and see if she takes care of a hostednetwork. Update to the latest version of the driver from Acer. If Windows 10 retains the same bad driver installation, I recommend you do decline to 8.1

  • When I used another key to activate the windows, what the key embedded on the motherboard.

    I bought a desktop lenovo Lenovo online - usa around 15/02/2015. the machine came with windows 7 pro. installed through windows downgrade rights 8 pro.

    but perhaps, I do not open/use the machine until 30/03/2015. After that, I have updated the system by installing updates provided/offered by windows updates.

    around 04/03/2015, when I open the computer properties, down to the title of the windows activation, there was this message "remaning 2 days to activate windows.» Activate now»

    When I click on activate now. Another dialogue box opens, indicating that the product key entered by me is not valid.

    I called mirosoft support, but perhaps, they refused to help me because I don't have the product key. (as long as no key is provided to me by lenovo, but only 8 pro windows recovery media.)

    I called lenovo support, but perhaps they also did not help me, according to them, it was a software problem, that only microsoft could solve.

    now, I had another death system (samsung) with windows 7 pro, so I used this product key to activate my windows on lenovo.

    My quiries are:

    1. what happens if God for bid, I want to restore my system to its factory state using the recovery partition or recovery media created by me, using backup and restore of lenovo.

    1. What is the status of my windows?

    1 b. Will he ask again the activation key?

    2. as I have downgrade rights to windows 8 pro, it is said that the product key is built-in on the motherboard. now when I used another key to activate the windows, what the key embedded on the motherboard.

    3. What is the best possible solution to this question, while I keep the original oem windows?

    is not - and never has been - responsibility of MS to pre-installed Windows help, a large part of the price of Windows is the support costs. Manufacturer have always had the responsibility to provide software support for the warranty period. Most interprets this as giving instructions on how to use the recovery media :(

    Yes, by using the recovery media should give your system its true status.  It will delete all data and programs, so go back to external media first!

  • I'm trying to upgrade to windows 7 Vista but not like the 40 GB c: partition has only 3 GB free.

    TRY TO UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 7 BUT C: DRIVE FULL DESPITE THE REMOVAL OF ALL UNNECESSARY PROGRAMS

    I'm trying to upgrade to windows 7 Vista but not like the 40 GB c: partition has only 3 GB free. Removed all unnecessary programs, etc. If you only really have Vista on C: drive but still showing 37GB used. Any ideas how I can release another 6 GB of free space.
    Tahnks a lot

    I hate to say it, but it would be a great time for a bigger hard drive.  While 40 GB meets at least for installation you really need more for in-place-upgrading a system using 37 GB.  Setup needs space for temporary files, its own temporary relocation, etc.

    Make sure you have a backup system and separate backups of your files user such as documents, images, videos, music, email and such stores. In addition, it is wide to ensure you have a way of rerstoring any application that you have added to the original instrall factory.

    Good luck and enjoy your new system.

  • checking CD key for upgrade of windows 7 32-bit windows XP

    I've upgraded from windows XP to windows 7 32 bit and during the installation I put in the CD key but its still saying its unregistered. How can I fix this problem its saying that I need to buy windows 7 again. is there a place where I can just enter the CD key and solve all these problems?

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • How can I move windows 7 (not OE), to another machine after upgrade to windows 10?

    I have a machine that has Windows 7 Ultimate installed on it, as a clean install from a CD with a code.  I upgraded this Windows 10 machine and I want to spend the nec plus ultra 7 to another machine.  How to "Uninstall" or "Turn off" Windows 7 in the computer being upgraded so that I can activate it on another computer after a clean install?

    If you upgrade Windows 7 Ultimate edition free update of Windows 10, you cannot move Windows 7 Ultimate edition to another machine because the free update used Windows 7 Ultimate edition as an eligible basic license.

    Only if you have installed a full version of Windows 10 license would you be able to transfer the license of Windows 7 to a new computer.

    Otherwise, you will need to purchase a new license of Windows 7.

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 and now my HP printer will not print multiple pages. The printer is set to print documents from the spool. Thanks for any help!

    I uninstalled everything related to my HP printer (in the Device Manager: printers and print queues) and searched my computer for everything related to my HP printer and deleted stuff also. Then I reinstalled the drivers and software from the HP website. I have updated Java also (I have no idea how much this has to do with my impression).

  • I'll be able to upgrade to Windows 7 Vista boot problems?

    original title: Windows Vista failed to start. I'll be able to upgrade to Windows 7, even if the computer does not start?

    Vista will not start after a Windows Update I tried to prevent. Tired of Vista. Ordered Windows 7 and want to upgrade. Can I switch by inserting the installation disk or I have to do a custom install and lose all the files?

    You cannot use an upgrade disk to do a full install - it will not activate (you would think that this has worked, but it didn't, and then you'll be stuck with having to re - install Vista with a full format and then update).  You need to upgrade a working Vista system started in normal mode.  It cannot be upgraded just by using the disc.

    I suggest you post your problem of Vista in the Windows Update Forum Update: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads , where updates experts will be happy to help you.  Please post with the information requested here:what to post in the Windows Update forum.  You must fix Vista before you can upgrade to Windows7 (unless you have a complete installation Windows7 disk then you can do an installation clean, but will not upgrade and you will lose everything on the hard drive that you save first).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
