I am trying to upgrade to seven from Vista. However I mistakingly typed windows seven home instead of windows seven pro. After windows seven downloaded I was asked for the key which I entered correctly. The key was not accepted and now I cannot go back. Any suggestions please???
Hello Misterjess, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)
Since this is an upgrade installation, you should be able to just close the Windows Setup window to cancel the upgrade.
Hi Brink.
I am at the Windows 7 Home Basic window where its asking me to type in a user name. There are no other options. I cant close anything.
Thanks
So, you're saying Windows 7 Home Basic has finished installing?
Upgrade Install with Windows 7
If so, then you could just upgrade to Windows 7 Pro if able.
Managed to install 7 pro but have lost all my files from Vista. How can I retrieve these please?
Check to see if you may have a "C:\Windows.old" folder. If you do, then look in the folder for your user profile folder path for the files.
Sorry no c folder
I'm afraid that it doesn't look good then. They may be lost.
Are you sure that did an upgrade to Windows 7, and not a clean install instead?
Not sure Brink. Thanks so much for your help. I did back up on an external drive, but I may have still lost some stuff. Thanks again.
