Make bootable iso from student d/l

Can I save the left over programs to a disc so if I re-upgrade I can install vista again and the re-upgrade? the folder is like 4gb I would like to remove it.

I wonder if I need to re-upgrade in the future will my key still work?

I get error 1314: required privilege not held by client


how do i get around that?


I have Vista Home basic 32-bit trying to upgrade to 7 home premium

Thanks to you guys I am now on Windows 7. This thing is awesome!

For everyone who may have a question about going from Vista 32bits to Win7 64bits, here is the reply I got from spiffman about the installing options. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately the one time that I upgraded from Vista 32 I chose to format the drive so I'm not 100% sure on whether it's possible to keep your programs and games when going from vista 32 -> win 7 64. For the most part I suspect you're better off doing a clean install anyway just because ms upgrades have had problems in the past.

Just to make sure that I'm clear on the terminology:

I "upgraded" in the sense that I have an upgrade key for windows 7. When you boot the win 7 dvd it presents you with two options:

1. Upgrade
2. Custom Install

I believe that the upgrade path is the one you would want to use if you want to keep your programs/etc. working. When upgrading my vista machine I know that I chose custom install, I'm not sure if the upgrade option was available since I wasn't looking for it (might have been greyed out).

If you choose the custom install route and do not choose to format the drive you install to, it will move a bunch of your old files to a windows.old directory. I'm not 100% sure on what it throws in that folder since I just deleted it the one time I didn't format. Obviously if you choose to format the drive the installer will not create the windows.old folder.

Hope that helps some, sorry couldn't answer all your questions.

I'm getting the same error, have been unable to find a solution
