Win vista PC with 7 installed to the high grade 10

Can I install 10 free on a PC with a win 7 up grade installed vista?

I guess this offer (update free Win 7 and 8 to 10 Win) is open until July 2016.  However, I got bad to update my Win Vista 64 bit Home Premium to Win 7 64 Bit Ultimate.  Not sure I have the correct IOS DataRiver and/or do not know if I did a USB startup key.  Update takes time LOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG and ultimately showed 3 series of errors this utility from MS update fixed everything but 1 problem (identified as "Recent updates installation problems") with no other details on the updates or what problems were found... There was a failure during update Win Explorer as he (Explorer) does not seem to be supported by Vista no more.

If I have to, I'll go through the process of updating again... hopefully a lot more quick this time!

    The easiest way is with a crossover cable - a special wire to connect the two systems.
    You can get one at your local computer store - they are not expensive.

    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.

  • Windows Vista - Bluescreen with text appears after the startup loading bar

    Help! I'm running on Windows Vista.

    I know not ALL the technical features, and I'm really in a hurry to solve this problem, so I'm sorry for the low amount of detail.

    Well, anyway, I pressed the power to force the button stop and now my computer won't start. I should not have forced, but I was rushing to turn it off.

    It starts as normal watch the bar loading for a few seconds, the bar hangs for about a second and then it goes to the blue screen of DEATH. Sound blue screen, with text saying "a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer", etc etc.

    Then, at the bottom, it says:

    ---------------

    Technical information:

    STOP: 0 X 00000024 (0 X 00190444, 0X85B93530, 0XC0000102, 0X00000000)

    The only thing I know about this info which is sound in hexa.

    Other than that, I'm naïve.

    Please help me fast, guys!

    Hi Michael has,

    Did you the latest changes on the system?

    Blue screen errors may be caused by the hardware and software issues, and it can be difficult to solve the problem sometimes. Check to see if the following is useful.

    Method 1: If you have installed other programs, check if the problem occurs in safe mode. To do this, follow these steps.

    Startup options (including safe mode)

    Start your computer in safe mode

    Method 2:

    If you do not experience the problem in safe mode with any problem, you can perform a clean boot and check.

    A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Note: Make sure that you put the computer to a Normal startup once you are finished.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Windows Vista starts with empty office and the mouse cursor, then restarts

    I have trouble getting Vista to start on an Acer laptop.  The laptop is an Acer Aspire 6920 G with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit on it.

    The PC will start in an empty office with stop mouse cursor on this screen for about a 1 min and then it restarts and you go through the same process again.  I tried the safe mode and last good configuration to know but get the same results.  I have also tried to run the Startup Repair tool and get the same screen.  I can launch Startup Repair to boot from a DVD of Vista Home Premium 32-bit and I can run but it makes no different.  When you restart, you get the same problem.

    Does anyone have an idea?

    No it isn't the trunk upwards with the black screen and the mouse.

    Hi KevinBricknall,

    1. have you made a recent software or hardware changes to the system?

    Since you are unable to run start up repair boot from the Vista disc, you can try to perform a system restore start from the disc and see if it helps.

    For more information, you can consult the following article:

    What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  • I installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM and the product key does not work, how to fix this? I use the same product key supplied with the computer originally.

    I bought a Dell Precision T3400 of Dell Financial Services and it came with Vista Business installed.  I installed a new hard drive and installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM by using the recovery disk that came with the computer, and the product key does not work for activation.  I get a message that says I need to activate Windows, but he says that the product key is not valid.  How can I fix it?

    Thank you

    If you have reinstalled the OEM of Vista Business copy on the new hard drive, as Bill says you can't also use it in a virtual machine.

    You can only reuse your OEM of Vista professional copy if it is no longer used on the computer. Do you have what operating system installed on the new hard drive? It was an upgrade copy or complete the license?

    If you used a license to upgrade to another edition of Windows to replace your copy of company then Vista Business license is still in use (for upgrade) and you cannot reuse it in your virtual machine.

    However if you replaced Vista business with a copy of the full license of another edition then you are able to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine, but only on the same computer. You must use the product key from COA to the label on the computer. The product key is put in the copy OEM cannot find the SLIC table on the host motherboard. You must use the phone activation from within the virtual machine. Click on start in Vista Business and typing "slui 4. Do not meet the audio guests until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent. Explain that you have completely replaced the OEM copy with a copy of the full license of the new windows and now want to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine on the same computer. Agent will then give you the activation string. Remember that the virtual machine is not transferable to any other computer.
