Hello all,
I hope some of you can help me with my issues.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some system specs:
- PC Brand: Hewlett Packard (HP) Pavilion
- Current Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium x64
- Memory: 7gb DDR2
- HHD: 750gb (approximately 400gb free).
- Processor(s) Speed: 7.2Ghz

Here is my problem(s):
I have Windows 7 Ultimate DVD. I want to Upgrade (Not clean "custom" Install) from my current Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate.
I put the Windows 7 Ultimate CD into my DVD Drive and start the setup process of installation.
It goes through a few steps and then spends awhile checking for "compatibility"
Eventually, that finishes and it then displays the following information:
The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading.
Cancel the upgrade, complete each task, and then restart the upgrade to continue.
You can't upgrade 64-bit Windows to a 32-bit version of Windows.
To upgrade, obtain a 64-bit version of the installation disc, or go online
to see how to install Windows 7 and keep your files and settings.
Hello!! I choose Windows 7 Ultimate x64 during installation!!!
32-bit Windows cannot be upgraded to a 64-bit version of Windows.
To upgrade, obtain a 32-bit version of the Windows installation disc.
I'm Not upgrading from 32 bit...my system is x64!!!
Upgrading Windows will affect the following devices and/or programs:
These devices might not work properly after the upgrade. Before upgrading, we recommend
updating the drivers for these devices. Cancel the upgrade, open Control Panel
and search for "update device drivers", or go to the device manufacturer's
website to search for updated drivers.
Storage controllers: AEK5G2EU IDE Controller
I have updated All my drivers (including this one)!!
These programs might not work properly after the upgrade. We recommend uninstalling these
programs before upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, open Control Panel, and search
for "uninstall a program". (Note: Programs marked as * can be safely reinstalled
after the upgrade.)
- Microsoft SQL Server 2008
Fully uninstalled this using "Your Uninstaller Pro"!!
- Agatha Christie - Death on the Nile *
- Bejeweled 2 Deluxe *
- Chuzzle Deluxe *
- Slingo Deluxe *
- Wedding Dash *
- Zuma Deluxe *
I don't have (Nor have I Ever installed) any of these above games on my system!!
So....what is up with this message???
I have tried installing several times....always with a similar message and the installation cannot continue.
NOTE: For any of you that reply to this post, I absolutely Do NOT want to do a Custom Install where I end up losing all my settings and files. I want to only do an Upgrade. If I can't do that, I'll just keep using Vista.
Thank you all in advance for helping me and let me know if you need anymore information from me.
I hope some of you can help me with my issues.
