Upgrade from Win­dows Vista Ger­man ver­sion to Win­dows 7 English?

In order to use the upgrade func­tion from Win­dows Vista to Win­dows 7, the Win­dows 7 ver­sion needs to be in the same lan­guage as the orig­i­nal Vista install. The dis­play lan­guage does not mod­ify this rule.

If you have installed your vista in any other lan­guage than Eng­lish, your Win­dows 7 Upgrade must be made from a disk with the same install lan­guage; if you would load your Win­dows 7 in Eng­lish any­way, you need to do a clean install.

Win­dows Vista in French to Win­dows 7

Laeti­tia Paris has tested this and the above rule applies. Using the Eng­lish Ver­sion of Win­dows 7 Ulti­mate will have the advan­tage to be much cheaper than the French ver­sion. On Win­dows 7 Ulti­mate and Enter­prise you can change the Win­dows Dis­play Lan­guage. It runs then like a French Win­dows ver­sion or any of the 36 Lan­guage ver­sions available.
