• Vista Performance, memory resources needs, difference between Vista Home Basic family and Vista Premium.

  My computer is an Acer Aspire with an E2140 1.60ghz processor, including a 200 GB hard drive and 1 GB of ram. I am running Windows Vista Premium Edition family. However, my computer seems to work slowly and very inefficient. I did everything I can to restore its performance. My question is, quite simply. If Vista Basic reguires only 512 MB of ram and vista premium Edition requires 1 GB. My pc would have better performance using vista Basic instead of Vista premium edition? Because how basic requires less ram? Or replacement with basic premium would cause my cpu to work hard?

  There is no difference in speed between the edition of Vista. You can try to disable the Aero glass theme if your graphics card is too slow. Now, the CPU is more used to render the UI rather than the GPU. How much is your RAM used?  Look in Taskmanager on the used/cache/RAM values of the free.

  To improve the speed, you should switch to 2 GB of RAM.

• How do I cancel a premium upgrade windows Home Basic 7

  I want to know how I can cancel an upgrade, I bought a laptop with windows 7 Home Basic and without my knowledge my son toward the down loaded windows 7 Home premium upgrade and he upgraded the original windows 7 Home Basic. Now, I want to cancel the upgrade without restoring the system... Can someone suggest a method to do the same thing...

  Concerning
  Joseph

  As my windows 7 Home Basic is original and premium is a copy so I don't get updated

  As suggested, you will need to use the recovery partition or the put recovery disk to reinstall Windows 7 Home Basic Edition:

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

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

• Update Vista Home Basic to Premium Edition Office to allow access by laptop running Windows 7

  Could someone please advise if I have Vista Home basic desktop Home Premium so I can use laptop running preloaded Windows 7 Office Access? I saw advice that W7 can only comm if Office Home basic is updated! If PORTABLE PERFORMER pre-installed w7 MAY ACCESS DESKTOP. Is this possible and how?

  You can move from Home Basic to Home Premium, but Microsoft sells more than Vista.  You need to find a copy of retail, Vista Home Premium (not OEM) somewhere like eBay.  You can use either a copy of the upgrade or full license to do the upgrade.  eHow has an article on the actual upgrade process.

  http://www.ehow.com/how_6297506_upgrade-Vista-Home-Basic-Premium.html

  The article mentions that you need some version of upgrade, but they speak the old Anytime Upgrade which is no longer available.  Ignore this.

  Hi ronnieVron,

  Your copy of Windows is only allowed for 'a machine If you want to put Vista Edition home premium on your 'old laptop"you can buy a new copy of Vista premium. Another point is that copies of Windows was probably preinstalled on your laptop, which means that, putting license on one side, your copy is related to each specific laptop and so, because the copy is related to the material on each laptop, you would have problems on other transfer machine. Anyway you could invalidate your Windows license.

• Windows Vista Home Basic Upgrade to Windows Home Premium.

  I've upgraded to Windows Vista Home Basic to Windows Home Premium about a year on this computer. This computer had to enter the shop to be fixed. When I came back, I noticed that he had Home Basic top. I tried to use the disk upgrade on this computer again and it won't let me not upgrading and Technical Support wants to charge me 59,00 just to tell me what's wrong. I won't pay that kind of money for something that is already paid. What should I do?

  Case of Rosalie

  "" and it won't let me upgrade ".

  More necessary info.

  Because of this support:

  Looking for a difference in numbers/Service Pack levels.

  If Service Packs came pre-installed on the operating system, there is no way to uninstall them.
  You will need to swap the disk to upgrade to a later version that includes the missing Service Pack.

  On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you which SP you have installed.

  If the OS installed Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 1 upgrade disk > uninstall SP2 installed operating system > install the upgrade > reinstall SP2.

• We can use Windows 7 Home Basic Edition or Windows 7 Edition Home Premium for commercial purposes?

  can we use portable Windows 7 Home premium basic / home preinstalled in our commercial pvt ltd co

  There's nothing wrong with using the Home Basic edition or Premium Home business. Note that, depending on your corporate network, you may not be able to access some network resources if your company uses a domain controller for authentication.

  You can only do this with the editions of Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition.
