• Windows7 upgrade that went wrong

  Hello

  My son got a machine running vista and it has upgraded to Windows7 with a free upgrade, which he received at the University that he attended.  It was received at the campus bookstore, so it should have been a legal copy.  We now have this machine at home and he says that the software is not authentic (lower right corner of the screen).  I had a few problems with trying to download updates, etc, and I need to fix this problem.  I see two options:

  1 somehow get this valid therefore it works like authentic software.  How can I do this?  I tried to do it online already, but it's Microsoft want to sell me a copy of Windows7.  I don't want to spend more money on this machine, so I'm not interested.  But assuming that my son has received a valid copy of Windows7 to its campus bookstore, I should be able to make it work somehow.  Any ideas?

  2 go back to Vista.  I think that the copy of Vista system restore is still on this machine.  How can I access that and put the system back to how it was before the update Windows7 was made?

  Thank you very much!!!

• Problem with Windows7 upgrade - Satellite A500

  I bought a portable Satellite A500 with Vista 32 bit Home Premium.
  It came with an upgrade to Windows 7, which I completed the process of installation/uninstallation of upgrade Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 32 bit on the Toshiba site, before the beginning of the DVD of windows 7 installation process.

  After restarting my computer in step 6, I have a message "new hardware found - base system device" I tried to search c: and I tried the Windows 7 DVD for the specific file searching and can't locate it.

  The installation/uninstallation deleted the drivers to connect to the internet.

  Can't seem to start installing Windows 7 from the DVD.

  Help, please.

  Hello

  Windows 7 ask the driver!
  It s not installed on the C or the DVD of Win 7.

  I assume that you have improved the Vista to Win 7 and installed not cleaning.
  I recommend a clean installation, because Windows 7 would reinstall and will not use the applications that were pre-installed on Vista.
  In many cases these apps are not entirely compatible with Win 7.

  After the clean install of Windows 7, you could install Windows 7 drivers you will find on the pages of Toshiba.

  But Win 7 drivers are not published on Toshiba page European right now
  If you could use a Toshiba page us to get drivers or should check the European page later

• ISO Windows7 upgrade of my system XP... Please help the person not tech savy!

  I have 2 computers... one is a new laptop w / software advanced... the other is a hp tower that works under xp.  I searched for a trail version or a download of windows 7 or 8 if possible, but downloads only I've found require you to burn the files to a disk that I don't have the possibility to do so.  A 60 day trial version will do, but I can't locate a!  The Tower system is my husband, and he is absent until mid-May.  I need to make it until then... any advice/suggestions?  I would feel much safer if I need xp at least until mid-May.  I'm all thumbs when it comes to nothing technical.  Please, keep this in mind w / your answers!

  Unfortunately there is no trial version. If you want Windows 7 or 8, I'm afraid, you have to buy the operating system with a key Code. We can guide you in building a USB bootable for installing, but it is actually more difficult to burn a DVD to an .iso. I would also be sure that the material will actually in charge of Windows 7. Mania it on the end of XP support, it's just that... oversold. It is not something to be ignored, but if keep you a good antivirus, you should be OK for awhile (like 6 months to a year). XP actually has been precarious for some time now even with updates if you are at no more risk that you've visited for the last year or two and nothing terrible has happened, right?

• Can you perform a destructive restore using a disc to upgrade to windows 7 when you run windows xp pro?

  Hello! I want to perform a destructive restore, but I lost my WIindows XP pro installation CD. At the same time, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and I was wondering if I can just buy a Windows 7 upgrade disk and took the opportunity to do a full restore, I want to erase everything from my computer and put everything to factory settings, as if she was completely new.

  What do you mean exactly by "destructive recovery? I take from your post, it means that you want to format the system drive and perform a new installation of Windows 7. In other words, start with a clean hard drive.

  If this is correct, then YES; Indeed, during the upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 there is no actual "upgrade path" as the upgrade requires a custom (clean) installation of Windows 7.

  (see: I am running Windows XP on my PC.) Buy Windows 7 upgrade version?)
   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/upgrading-to-Windows-7-frequently-asked-questions

  Before the upgrade, if you haven't already done so, it is highly recommended to run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to make sure that your computer is capable of running Windows 7. Windows 7 was designed to use the latest technology and equipment and many older machines are not able to run the new operating system.

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

  You should also visit the windows Compatibility Center 7 to determine if all of the devices (printers, scanners, cameras, etc.) and the programs on your computer are compatible with Windows 7. For printers and other devices, you will need the name of the manufacturer and exact model number.

  Windows 7 Compatibility Center
   http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  The upgrade to Windows 7 will also require that you will find and install the Windows 7 drivers (32-bit or 64-bit based on what you are upgrading to) for all you hardware and devices. This includes the BIOS (if any), the motherboard (chipset), audio, video, LAN, mouse and keyboard, printers, scanners, cameras, etc. In the case of printers, scanners and devices, you also need the software associated with your version of Windows 7 in addition to new drivers.

  Creation of new drivers is the manufacturer of the device; in other words the computer manufacturer or the manufacturer of material or actual device. If your computer is a great brand (Dell, HP, etc) visit of the machine to support the site and search for Windows 7 drivers for your specific computer model. In the case of printers and others, visit the support from their manufacturer, still looking for new Windows 7 drivers for your specific camera model. Google is your friend.

• Windows anytime upgrade, the product key is not valid

  My laptop is with pre installed Windows7 professional edition, and I have a new product key WAU (Home premium-> NEC) in hand. When I tried this product key in the Express Windows upgrade process, I received a message "product key is not valid.

  Is the installed version must be exactly the same with the WAU product key pack? I think of my installed Professional is an advanced version of Home Premium. Why not the product key be compatible?
