Hello,
I recently installed Vista Home Premium 32 bit on my custom built desktop in preparation to install Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. I have the disc for Windows 7 and a valid activation key.
Today at 3:40 I put in the disk and it loaded the temp files and started setup. It asked if I wanted to go online for updates and I did. Asked me to accept the license and I did. I chose 'upgrade install' and it went to check compatibility.
(I had already run the Windows 7 compatibility advisor and my desktop is ok for upgrade with no conflicting devices or programs). The compatibility report comes up and is blank and tells me it is saved to desktop. In the taskbar the progress line gets to about half way through 'collecting information' and just stops. Have left it as long as an hour and the install does not progress at all. The compatibility window has a close button at the bottom but that just takes me back to the beginning with the 'install now' window and repeats the whole process. When I click on the compatibility report on the desktop it takes me online to a blank page with no information.
How can I bypass all this and get to the installation?
