Windows 10: Win Vista to Windoze 10

Is it possible, do I need to buy something, or maybe Bat.1 will give me cr-----k/key?*Sleepy*Sleepy

What is "usoclientexe"?

It is part of Windoze. It is not actually spyware, it is part of the update system. This article provides some more details:

E90 and Mac

Always...

Especially when you show some longtime WIN User a Mac. You really _SEE_ thoughts of wasted years passing behind his eyes...

You cannot upgrade Vista to Windows 10. Only Windows 7 and above can be directly upgraded to 10. For anything earlier, like Vista, it has to be a clean install (so you'd need a key and have to reinstall your programmes too).

If you want to keep installed software, there is a long convoluted way to go from Vista to 10. First you have to upgrade Vista to Windows 7 SP1 - this is a supported upgrade path. Then Windows 7 can be upgraded to Windows 10. With a valid Win7 key you should be able to activate this Win7 upgrade. Once Win7 is activated, you can upgrade from 7 to 10 and that too will be activated.

Somewhere along the line you'll have to buy a licence, either for 7 or 10.

There's also the question of whether the 'Vista-era' hardware supports Windows 10. Your processor may be too old to run Windows 10.

New poster on a respected Windows 10 forum, and you start with a semi derogatory term like Windoze. Way to go - how to win friends and influence people!

 

Also accusing other members of supplying illegal software keys is not likely to help your stay at the forums *Busted
