t411, rings a bell?


what im saying is, i boot the computer, I press ESC to open the boot menu, I select the usb key where I put the iso with Rufus,
then after few seconds, it asks me if i want to run windows normally, then I get to the normal vista menu to select which account I want to open, is that clear enough now?

sounds like the iso is corrupted than

If the laptop has more then 4g ram use 64-bit.

If less then 4g use 32-bit

Is your computer trying to boot the usb stick using mbr or efi? If it's trying to use efi then there's an annoying process you have to go through to get the bootloader configured. http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/321097-how-install-windows-7-uefi-mode-usb.html

You should install Windows 7 first so you can get the free Windows 10 license. Why not run a normal upgrade to Windows 7, activate it, upgrade to Windows 10, then do a clean install of Windows 10 through one of several alternative methods? That might be the easiest thing for you.

I think you're missing the problem.

But yes, you have I think 48 hours or so to get a free upgrade to Windows 10. Then you would have to pay.

I thought the problem was that OP couldn't run the bootable thumb drive when starting the computer. The upgrade process can be done from within Vista.

Edit: It had been a few hours since I last read the first post. @Noctosphere, which edition of Vista are you on, and which edition of the Windows 7 ISO did you download?

He is trying todo a clean install so he will format the HDD when he install so it does not matter and you will have to pay windows 10 in a couple of months anyway.

Right, which is why I am trying to find alternatives to a clean install, especially since that's only what OP wants to do because of an alleged edition mismatch.

@Noctosphere, with regard to the bootable USB, did you use the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool on your Windows 7 ISO to put it on your USB?

He wants a clean install he is trying windows 10 anyway

He said he wil get back if it works

Also he used rufus which should work

 

[Noctosphere]
