Basically I'm trying to install vista to get 7 on there.

Hi Useful_Idoit666:

As John_C, noted in post # 29, the free upgrade offer from Vista to Win 7 expired on 31-Jan-2010 and there is no free upgrade path from Vista SP2 to either Win 7 SP1 (the usual upgrade path) or higher. If you want to upgrade you would have to purchase a new Win 7 upgrade DVD and license from a reputable source. Win 7 SP1 reached the end of extended support on 14-Jan-2020 so you will have to decide for yourself if you want to spend that much money to upgrade a Vista OS to Win 7 SP1 (assuming you can find Win 7-compatible drivers for all your newer hardware).

How does this help me install vista?

See my link in post #29. Vista will not run on an intel N3050 Braswell CPU which is what your computer has.

I see. Why won't it run exactly? Will it run windows 7? Managed to convince one of my online buddies to make me a boot usb and ship it to me and if my celeron can run win7 x64 I'll just get that on there.
