Please take note that upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 8 is basically classified as a custom installation. This means you'll have to re-install all your programs in Windows Vista and if possible use updated installers.

Is that Windows 7 Professional? If you don't need the features in Professional, you could opt for something cheaper like Windows 7 Home Premium ($119) instead. See here: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/cat/categoryID.44066700 or $99 at Newegg...

Just the folder named above. Everything else will still be in C:\ By the way, this is only possible if you did a custom installation and did not format the hard drive before and during the installation.

A clean install is needed. You can't go from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html

For Windows the USB thingy will work. For the Office you just have to copy the files or download from MS. Give MS a call I believe the office team can assist you in download the installation files for Office.

Call MS and state that you're having trouble activating. Provide the Product ID in the system properties window. 1-800-936-5700.

It actually works even with a Home Premium or Professional disk. All you need to do is remove the ei.cfg file from the ISO before burning. Tried it numerous times actually. :D http://www.windowsvalley.com/unlock-all-editions-from-windows-7-iso-image-x86-and-x64/

It's $65 for Professional. That $29 offer was for Home Premium, which is not available anymore. :(

It hasn't. But our fascination with American culture and being a former American colony at that has technically made English the second or third language of sorts for the Philippines. Anyone with a high school education and higher can actually speak English pretty well. Curious....What's FOB?

Method 2 of http://www.winsupersite.com/article/windows-7/clean-install-windows-7-with-upgrade-media. Remember to not enter the product key during the installation, skip it and do the above method inside Windows 7 itself. You can also call MS and they do an automated version of Method 2. :)

Done this countless of times of friends and relatives computers. Works like a charm. :D

The main problem here is that Netlix requires Micrsoft's Silverlight to be installed and I do believe that you need a Windows computer to install SL. About keeping Vista, you could try using the same Windows Vista disk and the activate online, if it fails, try the automated phone system. If...

I believe that's MS's Order Desk department: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302822 About your question, you need to remove the ei.cfg file I belive in order to have all versions on one disk. Also I've heard from reliable sources that if you order Business or lower they will come in 7 (5...

You could call MS at 18009365700 and have the key checked. They have a tool that allows them to check if the key is blocked for activaiton or nor as well as information like how many times has been used or activated,

@OP: Have you tried creating a new account as well as uninstalled your AV and then start the repair installtion?

It still is via a regitry hack or through MS tech support themselves. OR the old school method of a double install. It will just not activate right away of installed on a blank hard drive.

The only time you do this is when you installed 32-bit Windows on a computer that has 2GB of RAM and you upgraded it to 4GB or RAM or more.

For 1 and 2. I'm actually running Windows 7 on the specs below. It works okay for me.

Winguggle work for Windows 7.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I think I might have solved it by changing settings in the Bios. :)

I don't know why but installing SP1 through WU produces a lot of problems. Using the stand alone installer on the other hands guarantees a successful install. :eek:

As the title says, when I boot up my computer everything is humming a long but the monitor is on standby mode. However throughout this whole process I actually hear the Windows 7 intro sound, which tells me the computer is ready. Now when I disconnect the monitor's DB-9 cable from the GTS-250...
