As the title says really, has anyone got Windows 7 RC1, downloaded the files from DigitalRiver and then just run the .exe?
If so, did it work? Did it keep all your files? Did it activate?
I have the option of going for the Windows 7 student deal and have a few questions that I want to clarify before I go for it:
- Is it the retail upgrade version, not the OEM upgrade? So I'll be able to use this key on a brand new box later on down the road?
- Is a clean install of the upgrade version exactly the same as a clean install of the retail, bar the MediaBootInstall registry key being 1 instead of 0 (if the installer doesn't find any previous version of Windows)? I.e. Is it just the installer that differs, with no difference between an actual clean install of the upgrade and retail versions?
- I installed and have been using the RTM for a few weeks, can I just use the upgrade key to activate this version?
I bought the student upgrade, and I was wondering if it's possible to make the OS's native language to be Japanese. Everything from the word my computer to control panel would be in japanese.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI ordered the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade - 32 bit for $30 with my .edu student email. I have it installed on my computer, and I have a cd key aswell that came with it online. I was wondering 2 things:
1: Can I use my key to install it on multiple computers?
2: Can I go to that same site, use my same .edu email and pay and download and install more? My whole family wants windows 7.
Will I have to reload Windows 7 Home Premium RTM, if I purchase a Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade under the Student price of $29.99?
I signed up for it, but did not purchase it yet, been waiting till October 22nd got close.
I purchased the $30 Student download upgrade for Windows 7 Professional. I want to do a fresh install and therefore need to boot off a disc. Where do i download the iso so I can burn my disc of Windows 7 Professional? I currently have the full 32-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium.
View 9 Replies View RelatedCan an .iso of the Win 7 Student download be used to "upgrade" a new laptop with the same version of Win 7, thus getting rid of unwanted programs? In other words, do a clean install using the .iso on DVD, then using the registration key from the new Win 7 laptop?
Assuming it will work, how much problem is there likely to be with drivers?
I am a student with Vista Home Premium right now and I want to upgrade to 7 using the $30 student upgrade.
A couple of questions though.
If I have read this right, (Windows 7 US Online Store - Student Registration) then if I buy and install Windows 7 Home Premium I won't need to backup my files? Is this true? If so, does that mean all of my files will be in the same places? And also what about my programs like Office and all of the other many programs I have installed right now?? I am just trying to clarify this so I don't end up not backing up my data and end up losing it accidentally.
I have a friend who has spyware on their computer. It's a Vista machine that's so far gone that the only option would be to wipe it (unless someone else has a better solution).
But I have a copy of Win7 Pro from Newegg that's been used already for a computer build I did.
But, could I use this disk alongside a student license code for Win7 Pro?
I have a second 1 terrabyte empty drive I want to install Windows 7 onto. Can I set up the new drive within Vista, do my Student Upgrade with the exe and choose to do a Clean install and have Windows 7 install (and activate) onto the new drive?
Secondly, I want to do this so I may move my critical program files from Vista to 7. Will doing a clean install on a separate drive still format the old drive?
When ordering via the student offer (UK) you are given the option to purchase the "disk kit" for an extra �9.
This might be a dumb question but does anyone know for sure if this "disk kit" is basically just the Windows 7 disk as you would buy it in a shop? I suppose what I am trying to ascertain is whether it is a regular bootable installation disk. I am planning on getting it and figure that I will be happy to wait for the disk to arrive and install from that rather than faffing around with ISO's and making the downloaded file into a bootable DVD.
I have Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade student edition from digital river.
How can I upgrade to Windows 7 pro ? using anytime upgrade ?
I tried to use the same product key .. to perform anytime upgrade .. but it wouldn't work ..

I recently purchased a copy of Win 7 Ultimate upgrade for Student and Faculty under the Microsoft Student Select program. Unfortunately at the time they did not specify whether it was the 32 bit or the 64-bit version and my understanding was that upgrade version included both 32 and 64 bit versions. When I received it, it was the 32-bit version only. My question is this;
1)Is there a 64-bit version of the Win 7 Ultimate upgrade for student and faculty?
2)Are the product codes interchangeable between the 32/64 bit versions (I read in a thread they were for the retail versions, was not sure this applied to Student and Faculty version)
3)How I can get a hold of the 64-bit version? As the operating of the programme says they only have the 32-bit version.
I once did a fresh install of an Home Premium ISO image on an Asus G series laptop by using an ISO image and the Windows license tied to the computer. I am wondering if the same thing could work with an Ultimate 64 bit ISO image and a student upgrade license of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit if I wish to have a fresh install of Ultimate.

I have gone through the arduous process of creating an .iso file and have installed Windows 7 into a new virtual machine. It is a clean install since there was nothing else there. Now I cannot get past the activation screen, where I re-enter the Product Key, whether the activation check box is filled in or not, I get an error.
Any ideas about 1 - what is the source of the problem?
2 - how to deal with it?

I recently downloaded the student download for windows 7. After i downloaded it off my school's website, the 2 GB file was put into a folder on my laptop. I tried opening the file but it won't let me. This is the file name: en_windows_7_ultimate_win32_x15-79703 and its an IMG file.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded from Digital River yesterday with the student discount, and had the same problem as everyone else "unboxing" the download. I used the fix that's been circling round the forums and have got it installed and working. The only thing I'm missing is a product key. Wasn't Digital River supposed to give me one in my confirmation email?
I've received nothing of the sort, and would really like to activate this product I've purchased. I have product keys from previous versions of Windows that I've bought, but the machine I installed Windows 7 on was using Linux as its main operating system. Any thoughts?

View 5 Replies View RelatedDell Inspiron w/Win 7. MS Office worked fine this week. On 1/22/12 I contacted Dell re: blue screen problem. Tech said it was because my computer was running too slowly and he did cleanup, etc. Then he installed System Mechanic and told me it would solve problems. Had even more problems so contacted Dell last Sunday (1/29/12) and THAT tech told me System Mechanic should never have been installed because it conflicts with my anti-virus and told me to uninstall which I did 1/30/12 after conv. w/Dell about refunding my money.Discovered my AV had not updated at all during the week. Contacted Total Defense today...spent 4 hours w/him to uninstall/reinstall and get it working.NOW none of the MS office programs work. All say they're not installed, but they are there in the program files. Tried to reinstall from CD...quit half way through and said it could not finish installation. I used Excel during the week so I know it was working after System MEchanic install but do not know if the uninstall of that or the changes the AV tech made are responsible
