Windows Vista upgrade to Windows 10

can I switch from Windows Vista to Windows 10 one-step bypassing Windows 7, 8.1 etc.. ? For a free upgrade offer applies here?

Hello

You must purchase an operating system to be upgraded, regardless of which path to take.

Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Follow these steps before buy you and upgrade (new installation) of Windows 8.1.

Microsoft sells more than 8/8.1.

Try Amazon.com, etc.

Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8.1 drivers available for your model.

If this is not available, Windows 8.1 not install and work properly for you.

There is a lot of information in this first link from Microsoft:

  • Vista upgrade - > Windows 7. Cannot uninstall Intel Proset wireless WiFi Software

    Computer: Computer laptop Toshiba Satellite A305

    I got the upgrade disc for Windows Vista, upgrade to Windows 7. During installation, the message appears that Windows 7 can not finish the episode, and I need to uninstall the Intel Proset Wireless WiFi software.

    I use the utility for uninstalling programs of the control panel. When I select "Intel Proset wireless WiFi Software", there is no option to uninstall the program. I tried to use the repair feature, but the Windows 7 upgrade hangs at this point, insisting on the fact that I have to uninstall the Intel Proset Wireless WiFi software. I'm so stuck. Thank you for your suggestions. It's late here now. I'll check back tomorrow.

    Update: problem solved by a local computer expert. He connected to Intel and later that the visit was able to uninstall the Intel Proset Wireless software. Then the upgrade Windows 7 complete installation and is very good. The new wireless software program included in Windows 7. That's why Windows 7 wanted the Intel program deleted.

  • Vista upgrade to windows 7 does not and could not roll back to vista

    I bought a retail pack for the Windows 7 upgrade. I tried to install it yesterday evening - took to always (more than 4 hours) and froze in several places for more than an hour. At the last second stage (installation of windows features) - he crashed and closed. Reboot, it says "set to level failed - rolling to the previous operating system". After about 1/2 hour of rolling back - it crashed again - blue screen "STOP: c000021a.» System fatal error. Process of initial session or the processes of the system ended unexpectedly with an error code of 0 x 000000000 (0xc00000001 0x0010037c). system was stopped.

    the laptop (a Dell Studio 1555) cannot be started and is not an operating system. A terrible catastrophe for what seemed like a simple upgrade. I followed all the instructions in the Windows tutorial "upgrade Windows vista to windows 7 ', no warning that I should set out a clean boot which I've since found in blogs. I'm mad at Microsoft for releasing a product that will destroy my system when you follow their instructions.

    I obviously need to re - install an OS - my question is... I have an other laptop Dell Studio 1555 which came with windows 7 and I have the installation disc. Can I use this disc to do a fresh install on this laptop and use the product key that came with Windows 7 upgrade disc?

    Otherwise, it will be a long and difficult process of re - install Vista, upgrade to SP1 and upgrade to Windows 7, and then potentially have fail again. Please notify.

    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 7 (Vista upgrade) to be used on a PC upgraded

    This general question was answered before, but I think that my situation is unique enough to justify a separate issue.

    I have myself to build a PC from scratch and Vista (64-bit), as the operating system (retail disk which I still have somewhere).
    When in College, I had the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 (64 bit) for a reduced price, and of course, I jumped at the chance. I went to the website of Microsoft store, provided my details University, downloaded the upgrade software and did the transfer. Awesome!
    Sound now (1? 2?) year (s) down the line and I'm looking to upgrade most / all of my pc. I know that you can transfer the license to upgrade from a PC but I can't find the email confirmation from Microsoft, the printed receipt seems to have disappeared during multiple changes of accommodation and therefore cannot find any windows 7 activation code.
    I have:
    The Vista CD and code
    The downloaded file that contains the application to install Windows 7 and Associates, but no activation code.
    What I would do:
    My brand new PC (new Mo disk, SSD, etc.), with windows 7 and not much else. I don't like on registration documents and other programs. I could save and sell them separately, but essentially, I want a fresh start.

    So if correctly, you want to install Windows 7 using the Vista upgrade existing Windows 7 upgrade and just need installation key, right?  If so, simply download and run the Belarc advisor and it will give you the keys to everything has been installed on the older computer.  You can download it from http://www.belarc.com .

    Understand that you must first install Vista and activate it before you can install the Windows 7 upgrade - it is the way in which Ms. designed to operate.  You will probably get a message to call MS when you are trying to activate, but you should be able to do after you jump through the right hoops.

    Good luck.

  • Vista upgrade order doesn't look right

    Hello!

    The instructions in the PDF file on the site of Toshiba Vista Upgrade (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=UK&ID=2006-10-Vista-Express-Upgrade-UK) do not seem to be correct. I bought a Portege M400 on November 2, so after the beginning of the upgrade program. I also have a Vista capable logo on the laptop and the model number is listed in the eligibility list Vista and therefore suitable for an upgrade.

    But the problem starts when I go on the site, which is listed in the upgrade instruction (it just said go to http://upgradeweb.moduslink.com/Vista/ and follow the instructions).

    OK, so let's go:
    (A) I'm going to http://upgradeweb.moduslink.com/Vista/
    (B) to make sure that everything is set up for English and the United Kingdom.
    (C) It asks me if I have a form of redemption Upgrade - which I did not - so I chose the 'no' (as far as I know, these forms are primarily for commercial versions eligible for an upgrade).
    (D) I click on Vista
    (E) an information page arrive, I click Next
    (F) now it asks me to choose the dealer - what is weird because there are only a few manufacturers of Lenovo (Toshiba is not). So I click the button 'my computer dealer is not listed.
    (G) a message appears: "If your computer dealer is not listed, your OEM can have a direct offer for products upgrade of Windows Vista. Contact your OEM directly for more details. »

    That's all. What should I do now? OEM is Toshiba, Toshiba is not listed as the dealer (and in fact, he asks the dealer not the manufacturer) and according to the instructions on the Toshiba Vista Upgrade page, I just have to follow the instructions on moduslink.com - which ends with the result that I must ask my OEM (Toshiba) for an upgrade. So it's kind of a circle - Toshiba sends me to moduslink and moduslink back to Toshiba.

    And by the way, Toshiba lists only in the instructions to upgrade the need to have a reception which is located in the upgrade period, the document does not ask for something else - and I doubt I'm missing something.

    So what I do and how can I order my upgrade to Vista?

    Thank you!

    Alex

    Hi guys
