• I need a download site for windows 7 Home premium 32-bit, I have a product key

  Try to upgrade to Windows 7 Home premium Vista SP2. Bought the upgrade of Office Depot, but do not have a cd to load just the product key.

  You have purchased an Express upgrade. Windows 7 Anytime Upgrades are only intended to upgrade an existing edition of Windows 7 to a higher edition, example: Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition.

  You must return the product and buy the right type of license:

  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.

• Had a Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade: I installed on the second machine and now do not know how to activate it.

  A few years back, I bought a laptop Dell 1537 that came pre-installed with Vista and also came with a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade.  I installed upgrading Windows 7 on the laptop from last year, and everything is fine with it.   Three weeks ago, I used this same disc to upgrade to Windows 7 and installed upgrading Windows 7 to my Dell XPS 430 desktop, with also came pre-installed with Vista.  At this point, I use an inactivated version of Windows 7 on my XPS 430.  With the 30-day grace period, Miss, I'm now unsure of how to properly activate the upgrade of Windows 7 on the XPS 430.  I know that I need a new product key, but what version of Windows 7 buy to get a product key valid: Windows 7 home Premium Upgrade, or Windows 7 Home Premium Full Version?

  Hello

  Since you have already used the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade disk to perform an installation upgrade on another computer, as you mentioned that you need a new product key to activate on another computer.

  You can either buy a updated version product key or full.

  If you purchase a product key for the version complete and in the future if you need to reinstall Windows, you can use the product key to perform a reinstallation without performing an upgrade installation.

  When you use an upgrade product key and if you need to reinstall Windows, you need to reinstall the Windows Help without using the upgrade product key and again perform an upgrade installation of the installed Windows to activate the system by using an upgrade product key.

  You can also get in touch with Microsoft Customer services for assistance.

  Yes.

  You will need to BUY a Vista Ultimate Upgrade product key/license disk

  Windows Anytime Upgrade Vista is no longer available; which you always had to pay anyway...

• Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade license transfer to another computer

  I bought a Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack which has been licensed for installation on 3 machines. One of the machines that were installed on (a HP Pavilion DV 9000) became unusable and I would like to transfer this license to a desktop computer running Windows XP and to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. A new facility was made and this succeeded. How to activate Windows 7 on this computer and cancel the license on the defective HP DV 9000?

  As long as it is no longer in use on the old machine, you can re-enable it by phone on the new machine.

  How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
   
  1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
   
  (2) press the ENTER"" key.

• My computer is silent. I think XP audio drivers are corrupted__If I install Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade it will provide new drivers for sound card?

  My computer fell silent months ago after a download. I checked the healthy zone and everything is on and not anywhere in the system. I did a scan of unknown quality and that indicates a problem with the audio drivers. I tried to download new divers from Microsoft.

  Rather than spending all the resources on the Windows XP system, I am considering Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade. Upgrades include new audio drivers which will replace or overwrite the existing problem and make it all work as it should again.

  You can not spend XP as it's a clean install to get W7 on your PC.  To help transfer data documents, use the transfer on the W7 DVD program.

  Before doing that I suggest you download the Advisor to upgrade to W7 from Ms. If your PC passes, then you go to the next step which is download W7 drivers for your video card, sound card, printer, etc. and their storage on a USB for post install W7.

  If your PC isn't at the height (lack of drivers for one or more of your cards), then I would stick to XP. There is no guarantee that Vista drivers work in W7.

  If you stick to XP, download the drivers for specific sound card XP the PC manufacturer's Web site, they can be more up-to-date than those at Ms.

• Change from 32-bit to 64-bit with Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade CD

  Hello

  I'm currently on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit.  Is it possible for me to move my Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit using my Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade CD? That is to say: to start my laptop with 64-bit upgrade CD and reformat my system?

  Yes, you can use the same product used to enable the 32-bit version with 64-bit disc.

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

  Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.
