Hello
I'm having a problem in upgrading my vista home premium operation system to windows 7 home premium but i receive an error message
it says:
The upgrade was not successful.
Your previous version of windows is being restored.
Do not restart your computer during this time.

Then nothing happen
by the way i cant make clean install for windows 7 because i need all of the files and documents in there....
Retrieve your files: Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console - Windows 7 Forums.url
Boot the Win7 DVD, use Custom>Drive Tools to format the Vista partition before install.
I'd leave the Recovery Partition as you may want to run it someday to restore Vista. If not, you can wipe the entire HD first to get the cleanest possible install: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation - Windows 7 Forums.url
Then Clean Install Windows 7 - Windows 7 Forums.URL
Welcome to SF. Please fill out your system specs. You weren't upgrading from Vista 32-bit to Win 7 64-bit, were you?
Can you still get Vista up? If yes, you need to backup your critical files. Then do a clean install.
