Hello

Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional is not a supported upgrade path.

However, you can perform a custom installation (cleaning) of Windows 7 Pro on a Windows 7 HP System. You will need to back up all the important files and reinstall all of your software.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for using Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP

  • X 200 / Turbo Memory / Win7 Pro Updater failure

    Hello. I did some checking with respect to this, just can't find something that fits.

    Basically I have a x 200 with 2 GB turbomemory installed. It works fine in the company stock vista, then I decided to install win7 pro on this subject.

    1. first run, I installed win7, ran the windows updates, then system update. Windows update broke. did some checking, some guys reports this Breeze system update update windows.

    2. Second, reinstalled win7, ran the windows updates until everything is done. a site intel Manager downloaded turbo memory. Windows update broke.

    Neither of the two cases, no amounts of microsoft fixit not solved. second run I did a system restore and his return to life. Yay!

    As fast as the win7 is compared to the vista bloatware, I turbo memory installed, and I want it work. someone has problems that they were able to solve? It's a clean install of win7pro btw, not an x 201 win7 recovery disc.

    This makes me intrigued. is a particular issue on processors c2d this turbo memory Setup program will break win7 windows update? for now, I'll just avoid the installation of turbo memory program.

    I have a new desire 4 with Windows 8 home preium ultrabook installed. I am trying to install the Windows Pro upgrade, who refuses to continue because my wireless software is invalid for Windows 8. I installed a later version on the Intel website, makes no difference. I tried to remove the offending software and restart and still objects.

    Thanks for the tip, Paul. I've never had this problem with an upgrade of Windows before. I think that really he should let me come up with it and just warn me that he thinks that there is a problem.

My solution was simple - I was really taking the wrong approach. I wanted to spend 8 Win Home Premium to Win 8 Pro and I was using the Windows 8 Pro pack which includes the 32-bit versions and 64-bit disk. They are intended for upgrading from a previous version of Windows to people. I need to take a different approach and "add features to Windows 8", which does not require a disc, as all features are already in 8 Win Home premium, they just need to be unlocked. All's well that ends well, as they say!

  • Windows 7 Home Premium hangs on updated 25 June 1, 2010

    Hi I have a PC HP PavilonElite HPE-210Y new I bought on Friday, it is installed with Windows 7 Home Premium.    Friday we put in place, made overall upward and downloaded all the updates without problem. On Saturday, we have installed Adobe CS3, DropBox, Microsoft Security Essentials and Microsoft office 2007 (all legitimate copies).      It worked well through this morning, but at about 07:30 the computer says that it had updates installed (29 to be exact). I clicked on ok and went about my business, but it has since been blocked to update 25 for the last 2 hours, but no progress.   Light on the computer that blinks when the HD is committed has not lit at this time and I'm stuck on the screen that tells you not power off or unplug the machine installation 25 of 29...  I had not changed my power management settings, but after some research, it's seems that there are a few known issues with the processor to wake up for mode 'sleep', no chance that this is part of the problem?   other thoughts of what I can do to fix this?    Thank you

    Hi a drum.

    First, restart the computer and check if resumes normally and continues.

    Otherwise, start your computer in safe mode, and then perform the system restore .

    After restoring the system, wait until you get notification of updates of Windows on the system tray, close all applications before accepting the updates of Windows. Check what is happening.

    Windows have to restart Windows updates take effect. Check if it still hangs at the 25th update.

    FOR INFO:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/updates-frequently-asked-questions

    Also, before you configure Windows updates, go to Power Options and set it to never sleep.

    Check the updates that have failed in the history of the update.

    1. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.

    2. in the left pane, click view update history.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium slows down updating

    * Original title: Windows 7 Home Premium

    I don't know what it is, but Windows 7 must be the slowest when it comes to update. Also, why do I have to restart the Windows Update Service Management?

    100% sure... This isn't my machine and no it's not my broadband connection, which works well for me. Let's not forget about my sheet and ISP service.

    (UPDATE: problem solved!) ***********************************************

    I fixed it. I went in MSC and RESTARTED (1) BITS, Cryptographic Services and Windows Update. I restarted the PC, checked, wouldn't update of course so I knew that these services have worked, if I think of anything else. I went back to MSC, just completely turn off these 3 services, restarted PC... after the restart it was not long ago maybe an hour or so updates began to pour.

    I hope that those who have this problem help.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium cannot be updated (error 80070490)

    Hello

    I have a x 64 bit desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed.

    I had a moment to try to solve my problem with Windows Update is not be able to install or to look for new updates for months (ask the error code 80070490) and trying to fix it, have caused more problems that I can't fix.

    I have troubleshooted countless times, including the use of update Windows Diagnostic tool (that does not correct the problem of update). I also tried to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium from the disc, I bought, only to be greeted with an error message containing: "your current version of Windows is more recent than the version that you are trying to level to.» Windows is unable to complete the upgrade. »

    So, I took a dagger blow to scouring the many issues on the Microsoft Answers community that are similar or identical to the problem I have. Some answers have led me to running the sfc/scannow command and also a command "findstr" who has given me a list of files that sfc/scannow could not fix. Some have been classified as "cannot repair" and some more serious labeled "can not reproject corrupted file. My next solution was that I should try to reinstall it from my Windows 7 disc, but try to solve the "current version" problem that prevented me to reinstall earlier. An answer I found in the Community said that SP1 needs to be uninstalled for the resettlement of work, so I uninstalled SP1 and rebooted my computer. I tried to reinstall from my drive again and was greeted with the same error as before: "your current version of Windows is more recent than the version that you are trying to level to.» Windows is unable to complete the upgrade. »

    Now my problems include:

    • Windows cannot update or check for updates
    • There is I don't know how to fix corrupted files
    • SP1 is no longer on my computer and I can't reinstall it

    Thanks for any help. !

    Thus, after 6 DOWNLOADS of the Retarded _ "prove it is a true copy of Windoze ' message - he FINALLY admits that ' Yes, I really waste my money on this _ rather than buy a REAL operating system! and sends me to the download link (FINALLY).

    So, I try to download this _ any way & it starts to download, 4 HOURS later I get:

    C:\Downloads\WindowsXPMode_en-US.exe could not be saved because the source file could not be read.

    Try again later or contact the server administrator.

    different 3 times, I received this after 17 HOURS TOTAL of download.

    So I send a message to 'Technical Support' where I said that I have to wait 24 hours for a bloody response. NICE. REALLY GOOD.
