Windows 7 Ultimate will modernize Vista Ultimate using the full version (not the upgrade version)?

  • Reinstallation of Windows Vista by using the upgrade media

    I'm trying to fix my friends computer. Each time it starts up, it says Windows could not load the NLS being missing or corrupted data. Reinstall Windows Vista. When I try to reinstall vista using the CD there that said to use use this product key you must start Windows installation while running your existing version of Windows. What does that mean? What should I do? The computer used to have XP and it has upgraded to Vista using this CD.

    If Vista is an upgrade, so it must be installed as an upgrade.  Install the original XP operating system and turn it on.  Then upgrade to Vista and which to activate.  You can't ignore all during the first stage.

    I hope this helps.

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
     
    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.

    -HP use F9 on most of its systems

    In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
     
     
     
    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  • Is it possible to upgrade Enterpsie from Windows Vista to Windows 7 using the upgrade HP program?

    Hi all

    I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Windows Vista Enterprise. I read on the ability to upgrade to Windows 7 at low administrative cost by HP upgrade program. However, the site mentions that I can only upgrade from Vista Home Premium, business or ultimate edition. My laptop HP (the EliteBook 8530w) had Windows Vista Enterprise is installed. So I want to know if it is possible for me to upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade HP program.

    I bought this laptop from my University. They had a program, so we could buy our laptop with many applications that we need for our study pre-installed. It could be that they have replaced the Vista HP installed with Windows Vista Business version. If this is the case, is it possible for me to somehow re - install the previous version of Vista, so I can still take part in the upgrade program?

    I bought my laptop at my University. They have installed all the software and it is possible that they also installed Windows Vista business. When I looked at the description of the Elitebook 8530w, he mentioned Windiows Vista Ultimate as the operating system. So I am clueless why my University is using Windows Vista Enterprise.I have decided that I will contact HP support on this issue, to see if I can install Vista Ultimate and then upgrade to Windows 7.

    UPDATE: I contacted just HP support by phone. The Elitebook 8530w comes with Vista Bussiness installed and they send me an installation disc within 14 days. They have also described here it might be possible to do a clean install with upgrade cd, although they did not know for some. I think I'll try the clean install first, and if that doesn't work, I'll install Windows Vista Bussiness and then perform the upgrade.

    In any case, I want to thank everyone for the help they provided.

  • Before you buy Windows 7 it will modernize my Windows XP?

    Before you buy Windows 7 it will modernize my Windows XP?

    First, see if your computer meets the Windows 7 system requirements:

    o 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor
    o 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
    o 16 GB available space disk (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
    graphics device o DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

    If so, run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to check for possible problems.  If it passes this test, you can buy a Windows 7 upgrade version and use it to perform a custom (clean) installation.   For more information, see upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 and Windows 7 Upgrade Considerations .

  • Windows Media Player will burn a data CD for us but not an audio CD.

    Windows Media Player will burn a data CD for us but not an audio CD.  We have Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2.  Tried another brand of CD, slower burning speed, etc., but still does not.  And can not uninstall Windows Media Player and reinstall.  Help!

    Hi KathyDobrowolski,

    1. were you able to burn an audio CD before?

    2. what type of file you want to burn?

    3. This only happens with a particular file type?

    4. are you able to burn CDs with any other application?

    5. you receive messages or error codes?

    If the song file is protected by the rights of use, these rights may allow for playback of the song on the computer but prohibit burn them on a CD. If the Information button appears next to the song in the burn list, click the button to see more information on the issue.

  • Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using the recovery CD

    I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A200, which was supplied with the product for Vista and XP Recovery discs.
    The license specifically Vista also XP licenses.
    Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to Vista or XP? If so, how?

    I would also like a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
    Any comments?

    Hmmm. Usually it s possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer, but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista recovery CD formats whole disk when installing Vista and this will lead to the loss of the OS installed.
    I m not 100% sure on the recovery of the newest XP CD called RECON doesn t CD include an expert mode which allows to choose between the different partitions.

    So I guess that each use the recovery CD will format the HARD drive and erase the installed data. But of course, you can try to install the two BONES and to check if the restore XP CD allows to choose the second part of the installation of the OS.

    If it does not, it seems that you will need to an original XP from Microsoft CD or the original CD of Vista to use the two BONES.

    Best regards

    Hi Allen,.

    You will not be able to install XP on Win 7 using the upgrade disc. You will require your original operating system disk and you will have to boot from the OS installation disc, once installed you can use the disk to upgrade XP on this operating system. Another way is out to install your system disk and the boot of Winxp.
