vista upgrade to win7 problems
hi all
i have a gateway core solo laptop with vista on it. i have a upgrade disk win7 and tried to do the setup.exe but it does not let me install. i also tried to boot from cd win7 but it gives me a error message saying that it cannot continue. it stalls after the hardware compability part and does not let me even format the hard drive so i can try to do a full clean install.
What ways are there to override the gateway software vista, seems like gateway has a lock on it and wont let it install win7 upgrade.
i dont have the problem on my dell.. any solutions ? i dont have the vista gateway disk. what am i doing wrong?
