I've been having a problem trying to install Windows 7 on a Windows Vista computer. Vista was running fine but wanted to upgrade it, which should be simple. I've done the same thing countless times on other comuters without a problem. So I put the Win 7 install disk in the optical drive and the install fails while windows was 'installing files'. Ran all the system checks to make sure there was no problem with the optical drive, memory, etc., and the install still stops mid stream telling me there was an I/O error. I can only think it's beause of the [EMS ENABLED] note on the 'boot from disk' screen. Research tells me the EMS designation has to do with a machine that's set up as a server...which this one was not, and I haven't yet figured out how to change that. Is it in BIOS? If so, where, and how do I get to it?

I then imported it into SCCM 2012 R2, enabled it for PXE, and distributed it. I see the boot.WC10001F.wim file in the E: RemoteInstall SMSImages WC10001F directory where WC10001F is its package ID. I trying to figure out how to edit this wim file to turn on EMS support.

I'll defer EMS to Dr. Google.
OK, I don't have a make and model here so I'll share a recent install that was a HP dv6910us running Vista. Nothing would appear to let it run Windows 7 or beyond, 32 or 64 bit. I had a break and came back to revisit this since the laptop was in otherwise great condition.
So here's what it was. In the BIOS there was a VM setting for the CPU. It may have been VT but the CPU was an older AMD that if you google you learn about VM woes. That was my clue to try it with this disabled in the BIOS. Once that was done, the Windows 7 DVD booted and installed.

Later we (it's an office laptop) used a W7 license then upgraded to W10 64 bit and it ran without any search for drivers. It will live out its days doing web searches and office work.

TL;DR. The make and model matters. Sometimes you have to google a lot and try things.
