I inserted the CD and I got the following error message "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are using.
I tried to get rid of a download on the computer and still the same.
I also have a problem with the product key that small cutting with the key has been damage and some numbers where not readable. but so far that has not been a problem as I have not that many but I want to be ready

Contact the person who sold it to your and get a replacement or Exchange CD-ROM.

There is no place on the way to upgrade 32-bit versions of Windows to Windows 7 64 bit. You will need to do a custom installation.

Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (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.

Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the necessary

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

You will receive the following warning:

The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Windows Vista Edition home premium 64-bit: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade: on site or install Clean?

    Hello

    In order to know which version of Windows 7 upgrade purchase, using the top prizes starting tomorrow, I would like to know if I can use a facility in place or will require a clean install (when updates are sent in October?).

    I upgrade from Vista Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (to use the XP compatibility feature).

    But the installation in place, I think, is an easier process, especially if some 3rd party software, which does not transfer through a software transfer and cables, should proceed to deactivation, reactivation and or new material for release of the keys, etc. for a clean install.

    The Beta Upgrade Wizard for Windows 7 that I ran on my computer Vista Home Premium 64 upgrade to Windows 7 Professional provides a clean install, not in place. But I wonder if this may be a piece of information in the Beta Wizard. Reading online today mentions that the upgrade to a higher level version (such as Vista Home Premium 64 for Windows 7 64 Profession) can be done on site.

    All links to information Microsoft 'official' on this topic would be appreciated.

    Kind regards

How can I fix this without having to buy a new set of windows vista disk? I think that I already paid for the one that was installed on my computer before my purchase.

    Hi Rosenlove,

    If the (SFC Scan) System File Checker has found errors and inviting to insert the Windows vista disc, you will need to insert the Windows Vista disc to fix running.

    However, since you do not have the disk and the computer are pre-installed with Windows Vista and since it a new computer, I would suggest contact you HP support and see if they can help you with this question and shipout Windows Vista disc.
