Hi. I hope this is what you were looking for, as it is the official free windows vista upgrade.

Here is the link for it:

I know it is only for home basic, but after you bet that you can get all the upgrades online to turn it into home premium.

I hope this is the thing you need, and good luck with your upgrade.

Which do you have - Vista Home Premium or Vista Home Basic? The title of this question category and what you said you have doesn't match. I'll assume you had Home Premium 64 Bit. Yes you can upgrade to Windows 7, 64 Bit. Please be aware that there is the 64 Bit and the 32 Bit versions. Check with your OEM of the computer before you upgrade. In the upgrade process, Windows 7 will create a folder called "windows.old" once the install has completed. There you will find the data you had from the old operating system like pictures and documents. Before you do the upgrade, I recommend downloading and installing the Windows 7 Advisor to check on any software and hardware issues - the advisor will list those problems before you can upgrade so that you can make the corrections.

You should be able to, but you do have to pay.

Yes you can upgrade it... you can upgrade it from Vista Home Basic. Follow the instruction here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Anytime-Upgrade-frequently-asked-questions ...Thanks for using Fixya.

The free upgrade is sent out by the laptops manf. directly to you as long as you bought the laptop in the past 4 months. It is regardless of the current version of Windows Vista that you are running. According to an article found here

"Acer says "shipments will begin in increments. All orders will be handled on a first-in, first-out basis." So if you bought a computer last week, you could be at the end of a long line."

Best you can do at the moment is just wait, your not going to be able to do much till Acer ships out that upgrade. Even if you did install Windows Vista Premium, you would be stuck till you got the Windows 7 from the manf.

Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit is supported on this laptop.

If you want to upgrade its at your own risk.

microsoft provides upgrade discs from it's site (you should payteh freight).
If u are using Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic, there is no way to upgrading.

else, the other versions allows u to upgrade.
remember: the only difference between 32 and 64 bit is the RAM memory usage (32 bit will not use more than 3,2GB RAM), and there are a lot of programs that won't run properly in 64 bit version .

well u cannot Update ur Vista Basic to Premium freely.U need to Purchase the Vista Premium and then Upgrade on ur system.

Right click your desktop and choose personalization. In the drop down menu select Vista Basic and apply.
