  1. because I don't want to back up or modify files or programs, is it wise to upgrade to Windows 7, 32 bit, Home Premium?

  2. in the case, which version do you recommend?

  3. should I download it from Microsoft or do I have to download it also?

  4. If not should I buy in a store?  Could you recommend one?

  5 is it complicated to install?  Do you know a good site that could help me to install it?

  6. Finally you would give a price range that I have to pay?

  I know this has been long, but it seems to be a complex issue.

  Yes.

  2. in the case, which version do you recommend?

  N/A

  3. should I download it from Microsoft or do I have to download it also?

  The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

  But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail.

  Microsoft sells more than Windows 7.

  Try Amazon.com., etc.

  4. If not should I buy in a store?  Could you recommend one?

  As above.

  5 is it complicated to install?  Do you know a good site that could help me to install it?

  6. Finally you would give a price range that I have to pay?

  Windows 7 has become very expensive due to its rarity.

  I know this has been long, but it seems to be a complex issue.

• Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating systems disks

  I bought my laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium installed on it.  I've since upgraded to Windows 7.  Unfortunately, there are a few programs that will not work under Windows 7 little matter what I do.

  So, I would try to run a virtual Windows Vista system.  The problem is that I can't find my disk with the operating system of Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium on it.

  Download the Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating system so that I can burn a disc for a back-up or I can order a drive with the OS on it?

  Thank you!

  You can not upgrade to Windows 7, and then use the Vista OS you used as part of the upgrade to install another (even virtual).

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  And Microsoft provide no DVD for computers of the brand OEM (Dell, HP, etc).

  Borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

• Can I use the product key to my Home Premium pre installed windows 7 64-bit OS that are in my label of windows laptop back?

  I downloaded the iso file of windows 7 Home premium 64-bit. can I use the product key to my Home Premium pre installed windows 7 64-bit OS that are in my label of windows laptop back...

  Yes you can. To learn more:

  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium, you should have a recovery if partition:

  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.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  ------------------------

  If the recovery partition is damaged or does not, you can then use the downloaded Home Premium as an alternative.

• upgrade to VISTA (x 32) Home Premium from Windows 7 Home Premium (x 32).

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium (x 32). I have a HP Pavilion a6450z, which has a SLIC 2.0 BIOS made by Phoenix Technologies. I'm running VISTA (x 32) Home Premium now, that came on the computer when I bought it in May 2008. From what I read, that I need to update my BIOS so it will have SLIC 2.1 otherwise I won't be able to activate it. Is it true or when I install Windows 7 will automatically upgrade my BIOS?

  Thanks Hank

  HankT,

  If you ask a question with statements not reported, make you it harder. Do you have a link for your references about a need to upgrade the BIOS. On the Web THAT NL page listed, there is no update of the BIOS.

  I have a HPm8100e CTO, M2N68LA Narra2 Council. You have the Narra3 Council. The upgrade on the spot (abeit's Ultimate) has been completed. The only hick-ups have been re - install a few games, and new printer drivers. (I had 2 printers on this computer).

• Disks for Vista Edition OS Home Premium x 64

  Hello

  I have two HP computers, a dx7500 and a Pavilion a6512p. The dx7500 came with Vista (Business 32-bit) OS disks, but the a6512p did not come with a set of disks of BONE. Is it possible to buy, HP, a set of operating system from Vista x 64 Home Premium DVD?

  Please note that I am not looking to "restore" disks, or "recovery" disks - I would like to get (if that is possible) a set of actual operating system installation DVD for my a6512p, just as I have for the dx7500.

  Thanks much for any help you could give.

  Hello:

  You can do your own Vista disc and use the product key to activate the installation.

  If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

  If you can read your 25-character product key MS, you can make your own Windows Vista installation disc. You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

  The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

  The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

  When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

  I selected no, make the ISO file.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them one my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, worked flawlessly.

  When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-v...

  After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

  You can order Acer recovery disks, if they still have.

  When you buy a new computer with a Microsoft Windows OS installed at the factory, it is an OEM version.  Unlike retail versions that you can buy in the store, the OEM versions are no longer valid on the first computer it's installed and activated on.  In addition, the Windows Vista license must stay on the computer, as will be the basis to install an 'upgrade' of Windows 7 version.  Without this license Windows Vista installed, you must rather a license of Windows 7 more expensive "full version". Carey Frisch

  Hello Richard,.

  Thanks for your comments as my friend.

  OK Carey, this brings me to the next question... "Without this license of Windows Vista installed, you'll have rather a license of Windows 7"full version"more expensive."

  After I upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate without the license of Windows 7 more expensive "full version". It is permitted only on this machine too? or is this considered a retail version I own?

  It comes with both 32 bit and 64 bit installs?

  Once again thanks to you both for your time and knowledge, I am truly grateful.

  Peace,

  Tungerz

  If you purchase a Windows 7 Upgrade license it is transferable to another computer as it is a retail license and retail licenses are transferable to different computers.  You can only use one of the levels of two bits (32 or 64) of Windows 7 at the same time.  In other words, you cannot use the license for two computers at the same time, a 32-bit and 64-bit.  It works just like that.

• upgrade of Windows vista 64 problem home premium to windows 7 64

  I have Vista 64 on a HP desktop computer.  I bought Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade for Windows Vista.  I ran the software compatibility, and everything is in order for the update/install.  My current office meets all requirements to install and run Windows 7 Home premium.  I have a lot of storage space on my drive.  My problem occurs all at Midway through the installation where he collected, files, settings, etc.  Installation suddenly stops and gives me a message of installation was interrupted.  "Not able to install driver.  He leaves me no choice to leave the facility.   There is no way to know which driver he could not install, why he could not install, where to go for a solution, or something useful.  Simply, he stops and requires to click the installation menu.  I tried three installs with the same message and the result.   I have searched all over the web to see if this question has been discussed without a bit of luck.  Can someone walk me through this problem with a solution?  I really want to keep my programs, settings, etc. by doing an upgrade and not a custom install which erases everything.  Appreciate any help out there!

  Do NOT upgrade.  Install rather cleanly.  This means that when you get to the choice: upgrade or custom, select custom.

  Experts of Windows for a long time would never install an upgrade.

  Backup your data first.  Normally, I do a full backup of the data AND use Windows Easy Transfer for Vista.  Available on the Microsoft web site.  Windows Easy Transfer works very well.

  You cannot save programs.  They must be put back.

  Clean the end Install

  After Windows 7 drivers system and all updates are installed and stable applications such as Microsoft Office are installed and updated, and before data or dynamic applications are installed such as antivirus software, create a system image.  It will take 3 or 6 DVD +Rs (non - Rs) and about an hour.  When you are finished, you will have a very nice bit of insurance.  You must again and again re - build a damaged system or replacing a hard drive, you will have a double précis of your system as it was at this time.  You can restore this image on a hard drive in about 20 minutes.  Creating a System Image is in your menu in respect of Maintenance, backup and restore.

  Another great feature on the use of the image, it's that you don't have an installation disc or product key to re - install the next time.

  Hello

  I have a brand new A200 - TH1 comes with Vista Home Premium installed Edition. I had to install Vista Ultimate to get the job in Sql Server 2005 Reporting SERVICES.

I tried the upgrade without having to install any other software, shortly after my system crashes with BSOD 0 x 00008086. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello Jack

  I imagine that you have these problems, because a few months ago, I read an interesting article on this update and it was written on possible problems after the upgrade procedure. I installed a few times Ultimate on my A200 but as new installation.

  What you can try is to install the OS by using recovery media, delete all the stuff designed by Toshiba, including all other software like Norton. After doing this upgrade brand.

  When the upgrade is complete, install all the stuff of Toshiba order following facilities described in the instructions for Installations. I A200 with Vista Home Premium but I don't have a media Anytime upgrade and cannot test with my Satellite.

• What is the latest time Possible, I had to upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows Vista SP 3 Home Premium?

  Mainstream support for Windows Vista ended on the extended support ends 10/4/2012 on 04/11/2014. Standard support for Windows 7 ends the 13/1/2015-extended support ends 14/01/2020. However, I have seen conflicting reports on whether or not my editions of these operating systems use will be updated under the extended support. For example: http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=11920&wa=wsignin1.0 and http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=14484 give a date until when these operating systems will be supported in respect of extended support (and I chose the editions of these operating systems use).

  Is anyone able to solve this problem?

  In addition, if these operating systems do not fall into the extened support, is it urgent that I improve my Vista PC to Windows 7/8?

  Hello

  When you're ready to.  I got a Windows Vista unit which still works very well in her new home.

  Rather than update why you do not take a look at some sales for Windows 8/8.1 units.  There are really some very good deals on the internet.
