Win7 Ultimate upgrade Windows 8.0 Pro

I bought a Win Pro 8 upgrade of Microsoft almost 2 years ago. For various reasons I never had time to upgrade my system Win7 Ultimate.

Now I have time to do when I run the Setup on the DVD upgrade, I find that I am only offered two options - save personal files or anything. I don't get the 3rd option I expected to "keep the applications and personal files. Is it possible to move from Win 7 to 8.0 to win and keep all my applications?

I saw the messages that say that you can not keep your applications when you upgrade to 8.1 but nothing associated with 8.0 upgrades. I would be grateful if someone can provide a solution. Thank you very much

Thanks to Andrew for his pointer.

I followed the recommendation and he provided me with the additional option I was looking for.

However, it was not the end of my problems in the execution of the upgrade.

To cut a long story short, I did some additional research and found the solution here

Once I had deleted log files, I was able to complete the task.

I have applied subseqently Windows 8.1 upgrade

Thanks again for your help

  • Need HELP: Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade Windows Vista Edition full

    When my phone was broken, one of my friends that he fixed and did not know that it has installed Windows 7 Ultimate in there which is not legitimate. Originally, Windows Vista Home Premium has been installed in it. I want to go back to Windows Vista and I have a drive to install Windows Vista Edition full and wanted to install it without losing my files. How can I do?

    Hello

    It's not a downgrade.

    Unless you have a windows.old folder, you cannot reinstall Vista without losing your files and programs.

    You will need to do a clean install.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    You can use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • Satellite M100 - 165 PSMA1E - XP Pro updated to Win7 Ultimate problem

    When installing Win7 Ultimate (Eng) with current XP Pro en shows system error (something like could not find a certain file) and the installation will stop.

    At the beginning of the installation, I delete all partitions and create new ones.

    At the same time Win7 creates, it's own partition with the size of 100 MB.

    Using the same disk I installed Win7 on Compaq Presario CQ60 no problem. Also instead of XP Pro.

    What could be a problem?
    I have to download and use a special software from Toshiba?

    Currently I just get XP Pro using from an external drive USB Acronis Universal Restore.

    I'd really appreciate for your help.

    Stand by?
    First I would like to know which version are you trying to install?
    I checked the Toshiba download page and saw that this old notebook is supported for Win7 32 bit only so I hope you are using the 32-bit version.

    Are you using the original installation disc for Microsoft?
    Usually clean Win7 installation should work without problems, especially if you make clean OS install. I ve tested on several old notebooks and didn't note any problem.

    Set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

    I want to switch to Win7 Ultimate Win7 professional so I can use BitLocker and be able to share a drive locked with my computers Win8.1.  Unfortunately, the normal method of the upgrade through Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available.  There is a link to Windows online, but that only allows upgrade to Win8.  I already Win8 on another computer, but this OS is not appropriate for this computer.  Is this yet another example of Microsoft without end of quest for boring and confusing users?  I heard something about an upgrade key which must be purchased, but my search for the Microsoft Web site for such a key failed.  Anyone know how I can switch to Win7 Ultimate?  Thank you.

  • Issue of license upgrade: Windows XP Home - > Win7 Pro?

    Microsoft licenses allow an install WinXP Home to upgrade to Win7 Pro through the 'Upgrade' of Win7 Pro edition?

    Thank you

    Microsoft licenses allow an install WinXP Home to upgrade to Win7 Pro through the 'Upgrade' of Win7 Pro edition?

    Thank you

    Yes, Windows XP Home Edition can be an eligible license, but you will need to do a custom installation, there is no direct upgrade path from it.

    The upgrade to Windows XP?


    Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.


    Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).




    More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

    2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

    3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

    If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

  • upgrade to win7 ultimate (win7 home pro) I have to disable MSE?

    Upgrade to win7 ultimate MSDN Version (OEM win7 home pro) I have to disable MSE?

    I expected to get a Yes or no answer (e.g. YES, they are all three from MicroSoft product, that's why they work perfectly without disable MicroSoft Security Essentials; or NOT, they are all three EM produsts then, of course, you must disable MSE!)

    It shouldn't be a problem when you upgrade.

    In case you are facing any problem after upgrade, uninstall MSE and restart your PC and download and reinstall. However in the case of normal use, it shouldn't be a problem.

  • You want to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 Professional. I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional?

    I want to install Windows 7 Professional.  I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?

    You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.

    If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.

    What Upgrade Options are available for Windows 7?
    If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

    Windows Vista Home Basic

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business

    Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

    Windows 7 Ultimate

    For more information, see upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 . (http://windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-vista )
    You can't go from 32 bit to 64 bit, a clean install is required. If you have any questions about the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit or vice versa, please see this FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

  • Upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) to Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade (64-bit) - option student... is this doable?

    Hello - I have a computer with Win7 Home Premium 64-bit installed OEM directly from the manufacturer.

    My University Bookstore offers Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade 32/64 - bit (English) (Student Option) - download

    at a reduced price, but the description says:

    Use this table to determine if you should make a bet to level or custom (clean) installation.

    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition Custom installation required Update available
    Windows 7 family (* this is mine *) Custom installation required Custom installation required

    Question is - why do I need a "custom installation" and not an upgrade? I am a bit confused by this description and hope someone can help me to clarify. I'd like to be able to do an upgrade so that I don't have to fuss with all the files I have and avoid the relocation of all my backup software. Thanks for any idea that anyone can provide.

    If I do the custom Setup, please indicate on the measures to be taken. Thanks again.

    To do as it says, the on-screen instructions are clear, and you should ALWAYS back up the data before making any major changes.

    Note that an upgrade installation or custom are considered a MAJOR change... :-)
