Guida all’installazione della versione “Upgrade” di
Windows Vista mediante installazione “Pulita” (Clean Install) invece
dell’aggiornamento da WindowsXP
1)
Far partire l’installazione direttamente da DVD-ROM modificando il BIOS
2) Al momento di immettere il seriale lasciare il campo vuoto e togliere la
spunta all’opzione “Attiva Automaticamente” quindi confermando la scelta
passate alla selezione della versione di Windows Vista in vostro possesso,
3) Selezionate la versione di Vista e procedete sino alla fine dell’installazione
4) Lanciate di nuovo il Setup di Windows Vista, e quando vi propone le 2
scelte “Upgrade” o “Custom (Avanzata)” scegliete quest’ultima e procedete
immettendo questa volta il vostro Seriale, selezionando la vostra versione ecc.
ecc.
5) Andate nel disco di Sistema e cancellate la cartella Windows.old
E’ una rottura, ma è l’unico modo
per installare una versione “Upgrade” di Windows Vista in un sistema pulito, e
credetemi funziona 100 volte meglio di un Vista aggiornamento di WindowsXP
magari impestato!!

Workaround Discovered For "Clean Install"
With Vista Upgrade DVDs
31.1.2007
DailyTech has posted a 7-step
workaround courtesy of Paul Thurrott (via Microsoft internal documents) on how
to perform a clean install with a Windows Vista Upgrade DVD.
Per Microsoft's new licensing
requirements for Vista, users are required to install a Windows Vista Upgrade
from within Windows XP and to make matters worse, the Windows XP license is
forfeited. The process may be tedious, but few will argue when they compare the
price differences between the upgrade and retail versions. Here we go:
1. Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD and start the setup program.
2. When prompted to enter your product key, DO NOT enter it. Click
"Next" and proceed with setup. This will install Windows Vista as a
30-day trial.
3. When prompted, select the edition of Vista which you have purchased and
continue with setup.
4. Once setup has been completed and you have been brought to the desktop for
the first time, run the install program from within Windows Vista.
5. This time, type in your product key when prompted.
6. When asked whether to perform an Upgrade or Custom (advanced) install,
choose Custom (advanced) to perform a clean install of Vista. Yes, this means
that you will have to install Vista for a second time.
7. Once setup has completed for the second time, you should be able to activate
Windows Vista normally. You can also delete the Windows.old directory which
contains information from the first Vista install.
