Thread: One to anover

I don't use that program - but usually you would get the setup.exe and the product key , like you do with an o/s.

Assuming you have those, surely you just install it on 7 and insert the product key.

P.S I am Triple booting Vista x64, 7x64 and 7x86. On my setup, Vista is just as responsive and fast as 7 - it also boots faster.

If this is software that requires a license key, then probably not, as the key will be tied in someway to that install ont hat system. There are many way to do that.

But, otherwise, some software will work if you just copy over the program files folder.

I never purchase any so called tuneup programs, there are plenty of good free ones that do the same work just as well.

CCleaner to start, (there is no reason at all to use any registry cleaners, compactors blah blah, even the CCLeaner one, they are pointless) Unless you are having a serious registry problem, and only then as a potential fix after a full data backup. Registry cleaners do more damage than good.

Auslogics Defrag (not any other app from them, they are not really needed for tuneup)
This is only used as a preliminary defrag, then run a full windows defrag.
or
JkDefrag is pretty good

That's it. All you need. Nothing else (software wise) is really needed for a full system Tune Up.
All others are a waste of money.

Its because my vista is like corrupted. Since i have to have this to defrag my drive since my normal vista defrag is busted.
But i notiched there are vista files inside and i cant see no setup file in there. Is there any other soluttion to move it over to 7. Sinces its £30 for a whole new licence just for one new os on the same pc.
