• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 "Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD" upgrade

  We have a Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 (bought on 23-11-09) that came with Vista Business 32-bit installed, but has been downgraded (using the provided diskette) to Windows XP due to the demands of corporate network.

  When Windows 7 became available, I bought the DVD to upgrade to Windows 7 Toshiba provided so that if the company decided to upgrade to the new operating system, we could do it on this laptop.

  That's what I tried recently to discover that we can't do as the DVD is for Win Vista upgrade Windows 7 Pro. What is the best way to upgrade without having to buy another drive to upgrade. I have a set of recovery disks for an another Toshiba SatellitePro A300 - 2 4 which was bought about 2 months before this one. These were created using the Toshiba recovery software before any changes have been made on the laprop. Would I be able to restore the system to its state of Windows Vista using these disks and then use the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD to make the upgarde?

  Suggestions or recommendations would be greatly received.

  This upgrade package offered by Toshiba is upgraded from Vista to Win7. So if you want to use it, you must install Vista recovery image at first.

  After that, you can upgrade pre-installed Vista to Win7 following the Toshiba s implementation instructions.
  I did the same thing my Qosmio X 300.

  If you cannot use created recovery disc either s order Toshiba Vista recovery disk or (perhaps the best solution) install the clean version of Win7. A300 is fully supported for Win7 and you can download all the necessary drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.

• can upgrade you vista Home premium to vista professional in order to install windows 7 Professional upgrade?

  Husband bought the windows 7 Professional upgrade.  Of course when it did not work and the message was to do a "clean install", we both had type light headed as we thought it that will take all day and probably does not work smoothly since is the most "literate" computer.  I did some internet research and according to microsoft, windows vista business upgrade to windows 7 Professional is an upgrade and not a clean install.  Is it useful to try and uprade my 64-bit edition windows Home premium windows vista professional in order to upgrade to windows 7 Professional?  I don't think we can get our money back because the packaging is open or I would say just that we trade it for ultimate.  If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.  Also I don't know even where to download vista business or haow only as much as it would cost.  Thanks in advance.

  N ° there is no way to go from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional OR Vista business without what you call a 'clean install', so there is no point in spending money to upgrade to Home Premium to business before the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.  Upgrade Vista Home Premium only allowed on-site is ultimate.

  Use Windows Easy Transfer to keep your files and settings.  Then, start the computer with the Windows 7 dvd installation and moving forward.  Do not remove Vista.  Windows 7 upgrade installation should detect a copy installed Windows so that you can use the upgrade product key.  Once you reach the installation type selection screen, you will see the upgrade option is grayed out.  Choose the custom option to continue.

  If you want to do a clean install, you can use the tools on the installation type selection screen (until you click on custom) to reformat, etc., but this is not necessary if you don't mind remove the old Windows folder later.  If you start with a blank hard drive your upgrade license will be a problem then don't attempt is not a clean install of the old way.

• Steps to a clean reinstall of Windows 7 Professional upgrade.

  Greetings,

  I want to do a clean reinstall (was installed once), on the same computer, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade version) and I'm not 100% sure how to do it properly.

  I have:
  -Windows 7 Home premium 64 - bit RETAIL

  If I want to do a clean reinstall, I know that I have to reinstall Windows 7 family premium first, but I have to reactivate before you do the upgrade?

• Accidentally, I bought the Windows 7 Professional upgrade and does not have an earlier version of Windows

  Hello

  Recently I bought Windows 7 Professional upgrade because of the student discount, I had about it, not realizing it was only an upgrade. I do not have an earlier version of windows, and so now I have a copy of UN activated Windows. My question is can I buy an old vista or XP and just plug this code? It is said the upgrade works from previous versions and because I already bought the upgrade I look forward to having to buy a brand to the copy of windows 7, if I buy xp or vista.
  Thanks for your help.

• X220T Windows 8 Professional upgrade possible?

  Hello

  My x220T (Tablet) is currently running on Windows 7 Professional. I was wondering if this device all drivers should I upgrade to Windows 8 Professional? Thanks for the help in advance.

  Jay

  Welcome to the forum!

  X220T does not meet the requirements of MS to W8.

  That said, the operating system is running on it, but you may experience various problems and the overall user experience is likely to be less satisfying than W7 in my opinion.

• Can I use an existing Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD for Windows 7 Professional upgrade using the keys I bought instead of loading down?

  I've updated three of my computers from Windows XP Professional for Window 7 Professional using kits of DVD I bought. I have three sets of Window 7 professional DVD in my possession. I bought a new license [facility provided by Microsoft key] for my ThinkPad. I ordered also accompanying the DVD, which I imagine will happen next week. Rather than wait for the DVD, can I use one of my existing 32 Bit Windows DVD for installation to upgrade with the new license key that I got from Microsoft?

  No problem - but you might want to wait, if your existing DVD is the original version, because a new will have SP1 integrated, so it'll even some hassles :)

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 in Nov 2006 and applied with all the necessary COST, serial numbers etc. required for early February 2007 Vista upgrade which was well within the application period.

  I have just been advised of Moduslink that the order has been cancelled and I'm now outside the period for the receipt of a new order.

  Toshiba told me that they are not so not help software manufacturers, even Microsoft have indicated that they are not in partnership with Moduslink so that they cannot help.

  Any help or advise please?

• "Windows 7 Professional upgrade Media" do exactly?

  I recently went through an episode where I had to reinstall Win7Pro on a laptop which was sold with XP on it.  I ordered and installed the 7 upgrade to buy and couldn't find the CD when I needed. [edit: CD The fine print says it is Vista Pro 7 Pro update].

  Now that the box (6730 s) is back on the air, I found the upgrade disc.  I remember correctly, though, is that the XP disc must be installed and running first.  This is indeed the case or Windows 7 can be installed directly?  I hope that I don't need to experience to discover!

  Thank you.

  This key should work after installing Windows 7.

  Did you read the part of the article where you can do a workaround for not having a previous operating system installed by installing twice from the drive of W7 upgrade?

  "--> The solution to the situation that b is just run the clean install of Windows 7 a second time." The first time simply let you the empty product key so that the installation program can complete. Once in windows after the first installation, don't bother trying to activate it. Then reinstall everything again starting from the upgrade DVD media again. I know it of completely lame and is essentially a 2 x installation, but at least you can still make a real clean installation (no need to try an upgrade in place of Windows 7 to Windows 7 sillyness), and this time, it will accept your upgrade key. »
