Win 7 Pro cannot install the upgrade of Vista 64

I bought Windows 7 Pro on the Microsoft.com site my Dell Studio 540 had Vista 64 when buying back about 4 years ago. I also bought the dics of Microsoft backup at the same time. The Win 7 Pro disc has the number 6/11 X 15-60651-03. I bought the UPGRADE, so I wouldn't have to start over with a new facility. What should I do to perform the UPGRADE?

When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Paper textures Adobe pro cannot install module: general error message. Help

    Hello Stephen,

    If you have upgraded your version of Creative Cloud Deskop App in the last 24 hours (to build the 2.1.1.110), you may experience installation problems with some modules that contain the locale specified in the MXI product. I believe in that paper textures Pro has a which may explain the error message.

    Please note that we are aware of this problem and are working on a fix so please bear with us for the predictable a few days until we iron out the bugs and problems arising from the new version. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    During this time if your Adobe applications are still on the 2014 CC or MORE (i.e. you have not improved their 2015 CC) then you can select the method 'install another way' described in the troubleshooting step and download the ZXP which allows to install by using the extensions Manager, as before.

    I hope this helps.
