  If the copy of Windows 7 that you installed an upgrade, please note the following:

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

• Can I do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Vista Ultimate 32-bit upgrade. Installation file will not work. The error is described below.

  The XPS 730 with Intel Q9450 computer yourself running Windows 7 64 bit? The details of performance show that it is capable of 64-bit. When I try to install Windows 7 pro 64-bit upgrade, the installer will not work. I get an error that reads:
  The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you are running.
  
  I'm currently running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Everything that I read on Microsoft and elsewhere says that you can go from Vista 32 bit to an operating system Windows 7 64-bit as long as you do the clean install. I'm that far away since I can't even run the installation.
  Maybe nobody knows what could be the problem?

  Hi Hal K,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  If you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version.

  If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows, and vice versa, you will need to back up your files and then perform a custom of the version of Windows you want to install installation.

• Windows 8 people's Republic of CHINA (unilingual OEM version in simplified Chinese) can be upgraded to Windows 8 Pro * full * English?

  I bought a Dell XPS One 2710 in China that came pre-installed with Windows 8 RPC. It seems that it is a unique language locked in simplified Chinese version.

  The standard procedure to add another language changes only partially certain interfaces of applications in English, but the operating system is always in Chinese.

  I think so

  1 - is the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro with Windows 8 Pro Pack as described here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs

  2 - or buy a Windows 8 Pro System Builder and just reinstall

  Solution 1 is my favorite option, I want to keep the existing configuration and the Dell applications.

  Does anyone have experience making 1 or 2?

  Thank you.

  You should upgrade to Windows 8 Pro in Chinese, then you can download the English Language Pack for free:

  To the top of Windows 8 for Windows 8 Pro:

  Language packs are available for Windows 8 and for Windows RT

  Thank you Andre, everything is now in English!

  For all the foreigners living in China who want to have Windows 8 English I highly recommend to do as described below. It will add the cost of a license of Windows 8 Pro Pack, but will save you hours of waiting, of discussions, resettlement and uncertainty.

  Windows 8 CPP that comes pre-installed on all computers OEM in China is locked with simplified Chinese only to the language of the OS.

  You can buy Windows 8 Pro Pack, which upgrades the CPP of 8 Windows preinstalled on your new computer to a full-blown Windows 8 Pro with Media Center

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/feature-packs

  Pack Windows 8 Pro can be purchased online from China, and you can pay with Paypal

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/terms-conditions-feature-packs

  Windows 8 Pro has all the features to download and add language packs.

  Start the upgrade using the following screenshots

  http://winsupersite.com/Windows-8/Windows-8-release-preview-add-features-Windows-8

  You will need an address in China and turn off your VPN before you start the upgrade.

  There is only one choice of product to buy the Windows 8 Pro Pack.

  The update took a few hours of downloading so start at night and sleep at home.

  After the upgrade you have Windows 8 Pro with Media Center always configured with Chinese as their main language.

  You need then download and install the English language according to these screenshots pack

  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5850-language-pack-install-uninstall-Windows-8-a.html

  The US English language pack is 154 MB and may take a few hours to download as well.

  Restart, then return to the screen of language making English as your primary language, as described in these screenshots

  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5853-display-language-change-Windows-8-a.html

  Reboot again, and voila!

  PS: after upgrading your Windows 8 Pro is activated automatically with the new product ID, but you haven't lost all common applications of OEM and warranty (Dell in my case).

  You always connect to the app store Windows of China and are able to install apps * except * those made specifically by the OEM. In my case, there are only a few and I can't install Renren for Dell for example, but there is also another version not OEM in the app store.

  This limitation is explicitly mentioned in the notes here, and I confirm.

  OEM applications that I have installed upgrading are still there and working, then you might want to install everything before the upgrade.

• Belkin F5D7050 driver problem - Windows 8 Pro

  Hello

  I installed Windows 8 Pro yesterday, I upgraded to Windows 7.

  However, the drivers and compatibility with my Belkin F5D7050 does not work in my operating system upgraded.

  I saw someone post a question on a Web site on the fact that it worked on the preview and not now because you have changed something between the preview and the release. I can't be certain if.

  However ended last night, I managed to uninstall the current driver that is used and then reinstall it from the disk provided with the product.

  Then, I turned on my PC this morning to test the new OS, tried to do the same thing as what precedes, and it's not even plug in or allowing me to remove it from the Device Manager.

  Can you please advise and resolve this issue with me ASAP

  Thank you very much

  Nick Smith

  On the right, Hello all suffering from this problem.

  Here is how we solved the problem.

  Put the installation disc in your PC.

  If you do not have the disc download drivers how you feel are correct.

  Right-click on the installation application, select the Compatibility tab.

  Click on run compatibility troubleshooting, waiting for that it ends...

  Click on troubleshoot program, and then click this program, worked on older versions under Windows but won't install or run now.

  Then select the Windows 7.

  Go there and that definitely solved the problem of their.

  If you have any questions you can contact me here, or @ * address email is removed from the privacy *

  Thank you

(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.
