View 9 Replies View RelatedUpgrade Current XP With Old CD: Date Version Of XP To A 2+ Year Old Version Of Vista Which Would Require Many Updates To Bring Up To The Current Level
Aug 26, 2009I purchased a new PC in early 2007 that came with XP. A month or so later I received the Vista upgrade CD which I have never installed. I intend to buy Windows 7 when it becomes available and wish to minimize my system upgrade problems as much as possible. Based on my understanding I would have to do a complete harddrive erase to install Win 7 and then reinstall all my applications. If possible and practical I'd like to upgrade XP to Vista and then Vista to Windows 7. My question am I likely to have problems going from a current up to date version of XP to a 2+ year old version of Vista which would require many updates to bring up to the current level?.

Repair / Upgrade Using Retail To Fix Bad OEM
Aug 9, 2009My daughter's ASUS Vista Home Premium (64 bit) laptop has the dreaded empty list in "Turn Windows options on or off". I have tried everything to fix it including:
-running SFC /scannow -setting an earlier restore point (unfortunatley the oldest is 5 days, as Windows Update keeps creating restore points when before it fails to install updates) -running KB931712 standalone -remove the reg key HKLMCOMPONENTS /v StoreDirty (not present).......
Which Retail DVD Will Perform Repair (Upgrade) Install?
Feb 8, 2008Couldn't really tell from the Repair Install tutorial, so which retail version of Vista do I need to purchase, so that I can perform a repair install, via "upgrade" of Vista? As I look at my OEM Home Premium disk, it has the options to install ALL versions of Vista, so does that mean I could buy the cheapest retail version, use it and perform a repair install of my OEM version, by simply selecting the correct OS as per your "Repair Install" tutorial, and then go from there?
Basically, I would like to have a "God" mode DVD, that allows me to a)perform a repair install of existing Vista installs, and/or b)perform a clean install, and to be able to do a) or b) simply by telling the installation process which version I have (Home Basic, Ultimate, etc.), and whether the copy is retail or OEM. I thought this is why Microsoft WENT to the DVD that would allow all installs, simply by selecting the right OS and OEM or Retail.

View 9 Replies View RelatedInstall Vista Ultimate From Retail 64-bit DVD?
Jun 23, 2008I know that retail versions of Vista Ultimate come with media for both 32-bit and 64-bit installation and that the same product will work for either. Machines that are purchased with Vista pre-installed come with either 32-bit or 64-bit versions, but there is no way to change from a 32-bit version to a 64-bit version, ever if you have 64-bit hardware. The COA on the bottom of the machine says Vista Ultimate, but does not say 32-bit or 64-bit. I have been told that you can reinstall Vista onto machines that originally came with OEM versions of Vista using retail media and activate using the OEM-supplied product key. (This is different from XP, where retail disks will not activate using OEM product keys). My question is whether I can install Vista Ultimate from a retail 64-bit DVD (that is licensed onto a different machine) and activate using the OEM key and whether or not Microsoft thinks this is a legal use of their product.

Apr 27, 2008Last year I bought the 64bit Upgrade version of Vista Ultimate. my mission critical software was incompatible with Vista and I had to downgrade back to XP. I anticipate that the vendor will release a version compatible with 64bit Vista in the next year. But by then I will probably build a new system. My question: With a new XP license on a new system can I then use that "Upgrade" version of Vista that I never used or am I forced to buy a new licensed copy of Vista?

View 7 Replies View RelatedUpgrade Version On Clean Partition?
Mar 4, 2007An anonymous user sent me the following message: (3/4/2007)i purchased vista the other day and did exactly what you did by formatting my drives, and now it tells me that my product key is for upgrades only, can you please send me an e-mail and tell me how you went about fixing your issue. my e-mail address is @hotmail.com. I thought this may be of more use in the forum than a private reply, so here goes.
First up - this is a dumb way to do stuff. I only did it because I thought Vista would install as XP did (i.e. I'd just need to drop my XP CD in the drive during the installation. I was wrong. Vista upgrades can only be done from inside a previous OS.). I used the XP CD to reformat all of my partitions. I then put XP onto a partition I later planned to use for my page file. I did a default install of XP until I could boot into it, and then (without activating it) dropped the Vista DVD into the drive. I used my keycode there (an upgrade one), and it accepted it. I then directed it to install Vista on the primary partition, so I had a clean install.
Cue several reboots. I then had a clean copy of Vista, and an old copy of XP, which I could reach via a dualboot menu shown at boot time. This was no good to me, I have no use for XP, so I rebooted from the XP CD, and reformatted the partition with XP on. This removed the dual boot screen, and by a bit of BIOS jiggery pokery to make my boot devices order floppy, DVD, Vista partition I was all sorted. I waited a few days before activating just to make sure it was stable, and it has been so far!

View 6 Replies View RelatedUpgrade Grays Out: Version Upgrading Is Newer
Dec 7, 2009I have a machine with Vista Home Basic sp2. I'm gonna give it to my grand daughter for Christmas and decided that I wanted to give it to her with Home Premium. My son had a copy of Vista Home Premium that he bought way back when it first came out -- before any service pack releases -- for a custom build that has long since been parted out. I tried to use that disk to upgrade from but it grays out the upgrade option because the version of Windows that I am trying to upgrade is newer than the one I am upgrading from. Since Home Premium is super to Home Basic I assume that the error is coming from the service pack difference.
