Windows 7: HELP: Is Upgrade The Right Purchase?
HELP: Is Upgrade The Right Purchase?
by TJDavis78 - 10/23/09 8:25 AMI recently purchased the Upgrade version of Windows 7 Home Edition for my PC, but realized that it is labeled as the Upgrade from Vista to 7. My PC currently has the Beta version of Windows 7 running on it. Will this purchase of the Upgrade version of 7 HE work for me? Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.
Hope this helps.

by photohiker - 10/23/09 8:52 PM In reply to: HELP: Is Upgrade The Right Purchase? by TJDavis78I've been using wind 7 RC and I purchased the family pack, which is an upgrade for 3 PC's. On the RC computer I had to do a full install, on the other 2 (Vista Home Premium & Basic) I did an upgrade. The only problems I ran into were the upgrades took about 3 hrs each.Sure is a nice OS. wouldn't trade for a mac!!
sarcasm?

by photohiker - 10/24/09 3:47 PM In reply to: sarcasm? by sturner--2008No sarcasm intended. just stating that I thought an upgrade is too slow and a full install would be cleaner and faster. A full install can be done with the upgrade disk with no problems. All in all I'm probably more proud of the fact that I got 3 PC's with W7 for $150.00
