Upgrade Fails on TWO PCs - Same Error
Hello,
I have tried to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit) from both my laptop and my PC. They are both on Vista Home Premium.
I get the exact same problem. The process runs all the way through to the end, gives a green tick next to each of the processes it is doing, and then finishes up by telling me that Windows 7 could not be installed on this computer and then unwinds the entire thing, putting me back on Vista again.
It is really bad that NO REASON is given whatsoever!
I tried this 4-5 times on my laptop with the same result, wasting so many hours. I tried this yesterday on my PC and the whole thing dragged on for well over 4 hours (until 2:30AM in the morning when I would much rather have been in bed) before doing the same. It is very aggravating indeed.
Yes, I did install and run the Windows 7 Advisor prior to trying the upgrade and was told on both computers that I could indeed upgrade. Yesterday, on the PC upgrade attempt, I was told the first time that certain software programs might conflict and so deinstalled all the ones listed and tried the upgrade procedure again.
This is extremely frustrating. I don't want to do a clean install from scratch because I have SO MANY programs installed, and specific configurations for each etc., not to speak of having to deinstall many of them first because of their online license codes etc.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Asoka
