• Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 8 or 8.1?

  I don't know where I could download Windows 7 Home Premium on my USB stick to NTFS,

  Exactly, I'm looking for a .iso or the download of Windows 7 Home Edition Premium or 8 - 8.1 upgrade of Windows Vista Edition Windows Home Premium.

  I'm also curious if I can or will be able to use the two product keys I have, which are:

  * The sticker on my computer that contains a product key.

  * The one who accompanies the computer located in START, made a click right COMPUTER, properties.

  I'm on Windows Vista, I would update to Windows 7 Home Premium at least.

  USB Boot

  With my two key product or not at all if possible key.

  Advice, useful information, download links, solutions?

  Please share and thank you in advance!

  Is it possible that I'll be able to use the product from the installation disc key twice on a different computer if I install it on Windows 7 Home Premium?

  Edit:

  To be more precise, could I use the same disc installation and key on both computers at the same time?

  No, a key = a single computer. Each PC must have its own unique and valid product key to stay activated.

• Windows Vista Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  Hi!, I need help.  I tried to understand the upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 but I have not been able to fully understand the various issues.  My dilemma is this. I have a House runing PC with Windows Vista Home Premium and I want to install a version of Windows 7 Professional.  The package I have indicates whether an upgrade, but when playing in the homepage of Microsofts, in my view, that I understand that to switch from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional, I need to do a full install, not an upgrade.  Because my package bed upgrade, I don't know if it contains the program needed to make an installation full or not.  I don't want to start and install and find out in the middle that I don't have the good disk to complete the task.  Could someone who knows about it could give me the right path to follow. I will be very greatfull for any guidance. Thank you.

  See this simplified table of upgrade: http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/windows-upgrade-chart-eb-remake-final3.png?tag=col1;post-1246

  Vista Home Premium upgrade to Win7 professional will require one in Place (i.e., update Win7 Home Premium) and an Express Upgrade (from Win7 Home Premium to Win7 professional).

• Question about activation of Windows 7 Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

  Hi all

  I've recently updated the OS on my computer laptop from Home Premium (Windows 7) supplied with the computer (I have activated the product) to ultimate (Windows 7) using an upgrade key.  Now when I turn on my computer it says 3 days until automatic activation or activate now.  I clicked activate now, but I apparently don't have the right key.  I tried the upgrade button, but I was told that it cannot be used to activate the operating system.  I also tried my original laptop computer product key but I was told that it will not now work with my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.  I don't know what I can do.  What will happen in 3 days?  Can someone tell me if I have anything to worry about and what I can do to solve?  Thanks in advance!

  -Looks

  Strange, strange.

  First of all, where did you get your Windows 7 Ultimate license?

  Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade came with a product key?

  What type of upgrade, you did do, was an Express upgrade or did you do a custom clean install?

  This is probably why you are experiencing the problem.

  Try to update the product key and then again by phone:

• Use the Express Upgrade product key to Windows 7 Edition upgrade Home premium to Windows 7 Professional.

  Original title: Win7 pro anytime upgrade/Win XPmode.

  I just installed Win7 64 bit Home Premium (Retail) on a new PC.

  There are a few applications that works properly (or at all) on the new Win7 64 bit PC. (they ran OK on win7/32 and XP/32)

  I wanted to try and install on win7/64 PC XPMODE and run these applications from there, when I tried to install XPmode on the win7/64 home premium, the only choice who would have even tried to install was Win XPmode 64 bit (but of course, all this was doomed to failure because XPmode requires Win7 Pro).

  I have a 32 bit (Retail) win7 which has been upgraded with anytime upgrade to Win7 Pro.

  Can I use the Anytime Upgrade prod. key at least temporarily (I know that this license is for 1 PC ONLY) update the new Win7/64 Win7 Pro, install XPmode 64 bit to see if these applications will run on a 64-bit XP?

  If it works I'll tell you how to disable the worm on the old PC Pro and use it on the new PC.

  Thanks in advance for any response to my dilemma

  This is your key to your XP license.

  You can wipe the computer and reinstall.

  It now part of the process to upgrade and stop install you on another computer.

  But you can use it to reinstall > then go back to Vista.

  If you have any problems, just call Microsoft and explain what you are doing.

  See you soon.

  # Anytime Upgrade is specific edition.  If Home Premium was the original OS on the computer and then restore it and then use the HP upgrade last month to THE or buy a professional for the last update.

• How can I reinstall an anytime upgrade home premium to ultimate. I had to throw my computer and cannot find a way to recharge the upgrade.

  I have a key to upgrade.

  The first thing you need to do is to get your Windows 7 Ultimate Anytime Upgrade key:

  An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.

  What happens if I lose my product key?

  If you lose your product key, you can return to

  www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.

  or

  Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

  The next thing you need to do is to ensure that your data is backed up:

  http://notebooks.com/2011/02/25/how-to-restore-a-backup-from-an-external-hard-drive-in-Windows-7/

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

  The next thing you need to do is to reinstall the base license that you upgraded, Windows 7 Starter Edition or Home Premium.

  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.

  -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems

  -HP use F9 on most of its systems

  -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems

  -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

  -Dell uses F12

  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.
