Email Lost After Vista To Win7 Upgrade
I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 with no problem. A pop up did mention that I would not be able to use windows mail but did advise my setting and files would still be able to be used. I now have Outlook running but can find no way forward to find all my previous emails.
Question.
Where are my files?

Lost Email Messages In Upgrade
I bought windows 7 professional because I wanted the xp option. I expected to keep all important stuff. Installation to upgrade Vista home premium required the installation to be full rather than upgrade. No warning was given that I would loose all my email contacts and messages. Is there any way to recover them?

After that, i made a reboot and pressed F8 to choose an advanced options, i choose boot from last good known configurations. After that i was able to logon to the new windows 7 installation but a lot of problems come when i trie to check my data stored in another partitions of the same hard drive. Windows shows that i already have almost 300Go of data on the second partitions but when i tried to open any folders, thy are all empty, so it seems that o lost everthing on that partition. The weirdest thing in that is that every folders are there but thay dont have any content. So, even i selected the UPGRADE option and NOT the CLEAN INSTALL option there is no data in inetpub folder by example that was not supposed to when you select the UPGRADE option. So there is a way to rolback to installation of windows 7 or at least be able to see my data that are stored in a different partition that the Windows 7 installation partition ?? Please help me, it is almost the end of the wolrd for me, i lost everything on every partitions that i had.

Email Messages Lost Converting From XP
As I found out after the fact, upgrading to Windows RC (build 7100) did not transfer my old Outlook Express folders. I was able to use Stellar Phoenix to recover the old DBX files, but I think they have been corrupted as I can't import the files in Windows Live. Am I out of luck, or is there a way to recover the old messages?

Upgrade Path Problem - Win 7 RC To Vista To Win7 Upgrade
I installed Win 7 RC on a new build and purchased Vista Home Premium 64bit OEM with upgrade to Win 7 Home premium. The Win 7 upgrade disc has arrived. I understand that Vista must be installed and activated for the upgrade to work. Attempts to install Vista with Win 7 RC running or booting from the Vista disc lead to error code 0x80070103, insufficient free space. My HDD has > 450 Gb free space in 2 partitions. Do I need to reformat the HDD in order to install Vista over Win 7?

Will I Be Able To Upgrade To Win7 From Vista ?
I am ready to buy a new dell computer which ships with Vista SP1 64 bit premium. I have heard great things about Windows 7 and want that operating system. If I buy my system today, will I be able to upgrade to Windows 7 for free when it starts shipping from Dell, or should I just wait to purchase?

Cannot Upgrade From Vista To Win7
I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Service Pack 1. I downloaded the ISO of Windows 7 RC 1 and used Nero 9 to burn a DVD. Using both the DVD to perform and upgrade and copying the contents of the DVD to a separate hard drive and performing an upgrade from there, I get the following error:"Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x8000FFFF" I'm pretty sure both the DVD and the hard drive sources are clean and free of physical errors Any thoughts?

Vista To Win7 Upgrade Just Keeps Rebooting Over And Over
My upgrade from 32 bit Vista Home Premium to 32 bit Windows 7 Home Premium seemed to go ok. All five steps were completed but when Windows attempts to boot a message along the bottom of the new Windows screen says the installation was not successful, the previous version of Windows will be restored and not to restart the computer during this time. However Vista never gets restored and the Starting Windows screen appears again and goes through the same cycle. So I don't know now if I have any operating system. Windows 7 won't boot and there is no sign that Windows Vista has been restored. It seems obvious that I should power down the computer but I'm not sure I'd be able to boot up again.

Upgrade From Winxp To Win7 Via Vista
I do NOT want to reinstall all of my applications (and possibly cannot) after switching to Windows 7! This could take days. I am currently running Windows XP. It appears that Windows 7 will not install over Windows XP and keep everything running. It is possible to upgrade from Windows XP to Vista and keep all of your applications intact. Win 7 documentation implies that it is possible to upgrade from Vista to Win 7 and not lose your applications.Is the easy way to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 to first go from XP to Vista and then Vista to Win 7?

How To Remove Vista After Upgrade To Win7 ?
I finally upgraded computer from Vista to Windows 7. MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. However I still have Vista on computer, as when I reboot it gives me the option to run Windows 7 or Vista. I have Windows 7 Ultimate and I no longer need to use Windows Vista of course. And if I am correct it is taking up memory on CPU. Drive CÂ has 24.3 GB available of 62.4GB. And Drive D has 322MB available of 9.99GB. So I would like to clear more space by removing Vista.Can someone please explain in detail, step by step how to properly remove Windows Vista from computer. I have only found articles how to remove Vista to go back to XP. I hope I do not have to reinstall Windows 7 all over again!

Upgrade Win7 From Vista (both 64 Bit)
I think I may have jumped the gun buying the Win7 Upgrade during the half off sale a few months ago. I'm running Vista64 on a XPS laptop and just received the Win7 Upgrade product today. Now I read that no upgrade in place exists for 64bit os's. Right? If I'm wrong there, then no need to answer the rest. If that is true, can I dual boot Vista/Win7? A book I bought on Win7 shows a way to use the upgrade product to do a complete clean install, so I could do the dual boot. If I am forced to use dual boot, will I need to reinstall all apps or can I use one of the migration tools to give Win7 access to the all the apps I already have installed? If I'm forced to reinstall all apps, how will apps like Office treat this install? In other words, would it consider itself as two installs? (1 vista, 1 Win7) If instead a complete clean install is required, again, does anyone know how Office would treat the reinstall?

No Internet With Upgrade Of Vista To Win7
I have a MSI K8N Neo2 mobo with a nvidia nForce 3 Ultra chipset which functioned perfectly from the get-go with a clean install of Vista Ultimate. I didn't have to jump through hops to find drivers since everything was included on the disk.  When I do an upgrade to Windows 7, I can't connect to the internet through the onboard ethernet. I thought I read somewhere that the Vista drivers should work with Windows 7. Does anyone have internet access using the K8N mobo, or a similar mobo?

XP To Win7 - Upgrade To Vista 1st ?
I have an unused Vista upgrade that came with my purchase of a Dell XPS laptop running XP MCE 2005. Rather than having to backup files and then reinstall apps for a clean install of 7, would it make sense to run the Vista upgrade, deal with the Vista driver issues then, and be able to do an upgrade to 7?

Vista To Win7 Upgrade Promotion
I recently bought a Windows Vista laptop with 4GB of ram which was covered by the free upgrade to windows 7 promotion. I have sent off for and received the Windows 7 media. After this I learnt the difference between 32 and 64 bit operating systems and discovered I have a new laptop which can't use all the RAM it was sold with. The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor shows the laptop only able to use 3.1GB of the installed RAM!  Who should I contact to get a 64 bit version of Windows 7 so that my laptop can use all of its installed RAM? There is no mention of receiving the 32 bit version of Windows on Amazon where I purchased the laptop.  Alternatively can I use the product key I have received with the 32 bit media for a custom install with borrowed/"purchased and then returned" windows 7 64 bit media on my laptop (Acer Aspire 5536G)? Is there any legal technical or moral reason not to do this? I have checked the Laptop with the windows 7 upgrade advisor and it says my laptop meets all the technical specifications.  As a final resort I would return it as not suitable for purpose as it has been sold with an operating system which can't use all the installed RAM. I expected a laptop to be sold in a state so that it can use all installed RAM. Are there any other options open to me short of returning the laptop as I am not willing to pay for a second licence to use windows 7 – especially as all information I have found published by Microsoft states that both versions 32 bit and 62 bit would be supplied.

Vista To Win7 Upgrade 32 And 64 Bit
I have both Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 bit with Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade coming after release. Is it allowed to install the Vista 32 bit in one machine and the Vista 64bit in another machine and then upgrade each? These were gotten when purchasing my system hardware for a new build. Just want if it is legal to use both copies or if I can only use one of the version even though both keys are different? Or if the keys are someway connected.

Unexpected Error During Vista To Win7 Upgrade
I got Windows 7 for Christmas yesterday, so I was all excited and started to install it last night. I did the compatibility checker and there were no major issues, just some minor ones that seemed innocuous, so I proceeded. The install process was pretty seamless until I got to a point about 3/4ths through where an error message popped up. You guys are probably familiar with this so far. The message says an unexpected error has occurred.. etc, etc. When I restart my computer, I get the same thing. When I boot from the install disk, it asks me to pick a language to install and all that, but when I choose to install Windows 7 it tells me it cannot find drivers or something to that effect, and there's a choice to browse or cancel. It appears I'm caught in between Vista and Windows 7 and neither of them are useable. I can't get to either of them. The Roll Back option simply doesn't work, for whatever reason, and here I am, caught in Windows Purgatory. Any help would be very appreciated. Keep in mind I am on a laptop, not my desktop which is experiencing these issues.

Upgrade To Win7 From Computer With Vista / XP Option
i bought a new computer (dell optiplex 330) in dec, 2008, with a configuration called "vista premium downgrade relationship." basically, what this means is that the computer came with XP/SP3 installed but that i have a separate disk that will install vista instead if i decide i want to (i can't remember if it uninstalls the XP or exactly what happens with the XP if i do switch to vista). what i haven't been able to figure out from the articles that i have read is whether, with programs that will be available either now or when win7 is formally released, i can upgrade to win7 -- (1) directly from my currently-installed XP, or (2) by switching from XP to vista by means of the vista installation disk that i have, and then upgrading to win7 from there, or (3) either one, and if so which route is the least hassle and the least likely to bollix up my computer. or maybe i should start from scratch -- scrap both XP and vista from this computer, and just install a clean win7? does anyone know about this issue?
