I believe you need Windows 7 installation media (DVD) in order to perform such upgrade. When the Windows 7 setup program is loaded, one is presented with two options: custom or upgrade install.

In addition, there is a Home Premium Family Pack available with upgrade rights for 3 computers for $149.99

so if I have preinstalled Vista on my computer there is no way to upgrade to Windows 7?

Sure, purchase a Windows 7 upgrade disc, either retail or OEM. The only exception would be if you participated in Lenovo's Window upgrade program, but the machines in your sig are too old to qualify, except for the x300 and that would depend on when you bought it. Check the terms at this link
