Windows 7 upgrade options

When the offer was made in advance, you place your order at a discounted rate, I ordered Windows 7 Professional. I didn't know when I ordered could not be upgraded to Vista Home Premium.

I don't want to actually have to erase all programs and start over.

Is it possible to exchange the professional version for a Windows 7 upgrade version?

Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. Transfer your question here instead: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

  • How can they take advantage of the Windows 7 upgrade option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option begins officially today that gives a free copy of W7 with Windows Vista PCs and laptops, and I wanted to know how I can take advantage of this offer when buying on the Toshiba site?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I searched on some pages of Toshiba for some details about this upgrade option and found the same pages published by Luke.

    It should be useful.

  • Expiration of the Windows 7 upgrade option!

    Hi, I bought a Toshiba laptop a few months before Windows 7 came out, making sure he had a Windows 7 upgrade option. I didn't upgrade when W7 came out because there could be problems with a new version - obviously I thought that I would wait to see how it was received. In any case, a friend of mine convinced me the other day that it is much better than Vista and I had to upgrade, but now I thought that there was a time limit on the upgrade option, and it expired on 28 February - last Sunday! I can either spend - I missed the boat. I called the customer service, but all they could do was repeat what the web page - the option has expired so far go.

    I'm not at all happy about this because at no time I tells me that there is a limit of time on it. He didn't say it in product information, or outside of the box or what be provided inside the box. I had no idea that I had to do before the end of February for this - if I did I would have done it.

    As far as I'm concerned, I paid for Windows 7. The upgrade option came as part of the cost of the laptop without any mention of a deadline. Toshiba can not see it like that, but it's a reasonable person would believe according to the information provided. Did someone else upset about this? I hope posting here will inspire the action without me having to be made to the small claims court. There is no way that this may be eligible under the law of consumption. Imagine a person selling a book token that had a period of 6 months without telling them and without printing anywhere on the token! That may not be legal.

    If all goes well, there will be a few of us to exert pressure on this issue.

    Luke.

    Hello

    I have ordered the Win7 upgrade kit at the right time and now use Win7 on my Satellite A300.

    What I can say is that this forum is nothing but forum users and here you won't find any option just official statement by people like you and me.
    Another thing, this downloadable image. As far as I know that something like that can not be downloaded.
    What you can do now is to buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version of Win7.

    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but all new laptops are supported Win7 and you can find all the important factors, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page.

    A copy of the full license of Windows 7 would be transferable to a computer without an operating system until it has been completely removed from the first.

    I highly recommend that you buy a copy of the full license since you think you might buy a personal computer.

    The upgrade copy would not be transferable to a new computer unless the new computer already had a copy of installed Windows on what qualifies for an upgrade to Windows 7.

  • Qosmio F50-126 not supprted for Windows 7 upgrade?

    I get really angry with Toshiba and Windows 7 upgrade option.
    I'm really excited about the upgrade of my Qosmio F50 - 126 to Windows 7 from Vista Home Premium.
    But after doing a little research on issues related to the upgrade, I burst into anger.

    I went to this link [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9902P50000R01.htm] to check if my phone is supported, but because I paid a lot of money for it I have it MUST have.

    But guess what... IT IS NOT!

    In addition to this... It says on the website that the notbook not mentioned will get "limited support"!
    WHAT? my 1999 MACHINE VA GET LIMIT dollar taken in CHARGE for WINDOWS SEVEN!

    That I am, I guess to do... buy another Toshiba or sue to get the money and buy a new one?
    Does that mean I can't run windows 7 will be of all drivers runnin? WHAT SHOULD I DOOO DARN?

    Hi mate

    Guess what? I have an older A210 home
    I installed Win 7 on it and everything works fine!
    As you can see it the A210 is not listed as a supported series Win7, but it should be a serious reason does not install a Win7 on it?

    I didn t find official drivers on the driver Toshiba page but I could perceive my own hand, I used tools of free hardware diagnosis, which helped determine the installed devices
    I took the time to learn all the drivers, but it wasn't a big problem

    Thus, even your laptop is not listed in the page, you will be able to use Windows 7 and will be able to collect the necessary drivers

  • Click Windows Anytime Upgrade, then click on enter an upgrade key. This option is not there. What do I do?

    As indicated in the question, I bought an anytime upgrade in store today. I use a 32-bit version of Vista. The pack did not come with a cisd, but that a cd key with instructions to enter the Windows Anytime Upgrade, and then select enter an upgrade key. This option is not there. The only option that IS there is 'compare the editions of Windows Vista.

    My question. What now? I got back and beg you to take this if I buy a new kit of Windows 7 at home, or what I ultimately throw it and waste $130 and buy another back pack?

    Hello

    1. from which store did you purchase Anytime Upgrade?

    Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available for Windows Vista. See this.

    If you're running Windows Vista and want to upgrade your PC, go online to upgrade to Windows 7.

    I would recommend that you contact Microsoft (if purchased from a legitimate source) Store with your concern.

  • No upgrade option given when you try to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium with version complete DVD

    I am trying to upgrade to Windows 7 on my Lenovo x 200 tablet which is currently under Vista 64-bit.  My first attempt was with a version of Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit which, once started let me choose the upgrade option but then I notified (obviously) that would work to upgrade Vista 64 bit to 32 bit 7.  Since I also have a DVD of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit, I moved forward and put this disk to try to upgrade.  However, when I run the Setup it goes right to the choose what partition I want to put a new installation, do not allow me the upgrade option at all.  Why is this and how do I fix this if I can do an upgrade rather than a new complete installation then I won't lose all my programs and others and end up with a folder of big 'windows.old '?

    Which edition of Windows Vista are you attempt upgrade from?

    If they editions do not match, you will not be able to make a place in the upgrade:

    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.
