Windows 7 professional full, can be installed as upgrade?
Currently I have Windows Vista SP2 Biz
Yes. An in-place-upgrade from Vista business to Windows 7 Professional is supported. See
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/upgrade
However the change between 32-bit and 64-bit requires a Custom Installation. As long as the number of bits is the same, you're well. Use the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to determine which programs must be removed before you start the upgrade. Use Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer to save all your files and settings, as a precaution. Start the upgrade from the Vista desktop and choose to update install selection screen appears.

every time I try to install something windows tells me I can't install it because I install another prgm, but don't want to install anything...
Hi MatthewMessmer,
- Did you the latest changes on the computer?
- You receive the error message when you try to install a program on the computer?
- You have security software installed on the computer?
Method 1
First restart the computer and try to install programs on the computer.
I suggest that you restart the Windows Installer service and check if it helps.
Refer to the article below and try the steps listed in the section Windows installation problems, check to see if it helps.
How to troubleshoot issues that may occur when you install, uninstall, or upgrade one program on a Windows computer
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2438651
Method 2
If the previous step fails, then temporary disable the security software on the computer and check if that helps.
Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

If yours is a copy retail, you don't and I don't need to.
But if yours is an OEM copy (for example if it came pre-installed on)
your computer, you can not install it on another computer. Your OEM
license restricted for the first computer, on which it is installed and it
can never be legally moved to another.

original title: I have a simple question...
I have Vista 32 bit. I have two hard drives. Vista 32 is on disk 0. (C) I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. I want to change the installation path on Windows 7 64 bit edition updated the software on my second drive, so I can run a system dual boot. Windows 7 Setup will allow me to do? I can use the version upgrade of the software for that, or do I have the full version?
Hello
You can't do what you want to do
32-bit to 64-bit is NOT a upgrade path if you have always wanted to upgrade 32 bit vista
It must be done with a clean install with a final certificate
and you need a full license of windows 7 to install windows 7 on the 2nd hard drive
You can dual boot vista 32-bit and 64-bit windows 7, if the manufacturer of your computer provides windows 7 drivers

My computer was assembled by myself has worked for many years, the operating system is win xp pro OEM. The motherboard has failed and I'm replacing it with a newer version, that is no longer available. I can re - install win xp pro using any win xp pro not oem and using original key to activate? I understand the oem rules as it relates to a registered oem (Dell, Acer, etc) but my oem copy was bought at retail and as far as I know is not related to a named oem. In fact, I'd say I'm oem as I made the original equipment.
There is disagreement on that. I've seen people claim that if you change the motherboard, you essentially create a new PC (which would mean you would need another license as an OEM license can be used on a PC and never transferred to another).
And then there are people who say that it is the OEM who decides what constitutes a new PC. I tend to support this point of view, personally. But there is disagreement.BTW, if you bought the OEM CD has no impact on the license.After installation, you may need the Microsoft phone to activate (in other words, if the activation over the Internet does not work). -
I get this error message (see title) when I try to remove existing applications or to install new applications. I upgraded this Compaq CQ50z-100 of Vista Home Basic in a 2 step process:
Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade
Windows 7 Professional upgrade
Once I had upgraded to Home Premium, I started to get this message. Thinking that I can fix by the Win 7 Pro update, I proceeded with the upgrade (success, no problem). However, the problem persists. I tried to perform a "clean boot" and then "Normal Startup - load all the drivers of devices and services" and I still get this error.
Need advice on what to do to solve this problem... short recovery in the image of Vista Home Basic original recorded via Norton Ghost 15... :(
Thank you Andre,
Since posting this thread, I found a solution. The solution was to reset Windows Installer (1 to off, and then back to the manual) using the console of the computer/manage. I edited the setting Windows Installer via "Services and Applications view (tab 'Standard' of Services). First round of "Disabled" to "Manual", restarted and all then it 'Manual' and rebooted one last time.
In a note, my issue was with Norton Ghost 15. I had installed on the original view of Vista Home Basic, but found I could not it starts successfully after the 2-step 7 upgrade Premium. Remove failed. I've finally finished the removal after completing a full installation of Ghost 15 new (seemed to have lost some registry key values/entries).

I currently have vista 32 professional and I want to upgrade to windows 7, I understand that I must use windows 7 Professional
is this correct and just use the regular windows 7 pro upgrade disc?
original title: Vista Business 32 - windows 7
If you want to make a room upgrade, you can use Windows 7 Pro 32-bit - you can buy and use the upgrade version. You can also buy Home Premium, but will need to perform a custom installation.
How to upgrade to Windows 7:
If you have Vista:
Update: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7
Custom installation: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7-custom
Then my computer run Windows 7?
Basic system requirements are listed below. Features have additional requirements.1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor
1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
Graphical device DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
Run Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known problems that might affect installation and if you need to install the 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/UpgradeAdvisorInstallation - 'upgrade' means what?
Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:Back up any files and settings you want to keep
Install Windows 7
Reinstall all your files
Reinstall all the programs you want to use.
These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

Kind regards

There is no need to uninstall anything, as such.
Simply start on DVD - you may need to change the BIOS boot sequence - and follow the instructions, you will have an option to format the drive existing at a given time, and you should do it.
Note that this will wipe the drive clean - back up all data you must first of all external media.
