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 RepliesI 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?
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 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 ..
any thoughts ?
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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have Windows XP Pro on a Boot Camp partition of my Mac Book Pro. 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Windows 7 Ultimate, the whole kit and caboodle.I setup my personal computer the exact same as my fathers, but for some reason, despite installing all the same updates and blah blah, I can't get the Japanese Kanji to display ON the computer Chrome displays them just fine, but my music is all boxes, rather than Kanji..Yes, I installed the Japanese Display Language, but when I go to swap to it, even IT shows as boxes, rather than Kanji..The same problem extends to Korean, Chinese (both), Russian and a few other packs.
View 1 Replies View Related[code] When I select Japanese from the Task Bar language setting, anything typed in the Japanese language is incorrect. That is, the kana characters that appear are not the ones I typed. The Japanese keyboard appears to be incorrect.I have read many forums about this problem and can only guess the Win7 version I have is not compatible with the language pack I installed. Is there any chance there is some app available for download that will solve this problem? Perhaps I should also ask if there is a Japanese word processor, free version preferred, available I could use?My basic need is to type in kana, that is hiragana and katagana.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI upgraded a Win7 Professional 64 bit system to Ultimate, then downloaded Language Packs in Chinese and Japanese. Now I am able to switch between Display Languages as expected. But after my last return from Japanese as Display Language to English, I find that Windows Explorer shows date information in Japanese, and IE uses Japanese as its language. Yet the Desktop icons have English legends, and the Start menu is in English. So there is a mixture of languages. Is there a way to eliminate Japanese completely? Should I uninstall the Language Packs?

Restarting the computer makes them work again.I can turn off my computer, turn it on the next day, and they will work. Then I can turn it off, turn it on the day after that, and they won't work again.Also, in the volume mixer, applications have the same squares at the end of the word

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I'm confronting a quite annoying problem while trying to use the Japanese input.This is what happens, I switch on the Japanese input from the language bar, then I select the hiragana alphabet. It seems to be working properly if I use only hiragana pressing Enter after each word. But if I try to use kanji, after pressing Space, when I try to select the one I need from the scroll menu that shows up, the program I am working in freezes saying it's not responding. The program can be closed at the 3rd click showing that window with "Check for a solution and close the program/Close the program/Wait for the program to respond" and at the details it has a "Problem Event Name AppHangB1".This happened to me while working in Microsoft Office, Mozilla Firefox, and even in Notepad or Yahoo messenger. Though, it seems to be ok in Internet Explorer.I tried to reinstall the the Japanese language, but nothing changed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedEven though the Meiryo & Meiryo UI (Japanese) fonts are enabled, they still shows up as little squares in word documents(notepad, etc.) and in song titles(iTunes, Winamp, etc.). However, I can view and type Japanese just fine in web browsers(Chrome, IE, etc.)
Here's the weird part, when I open up the fonts window and click "hide" for both Meiryo and Meiryo UI and then click "show" to enable them, once I restart the computer, I can type and view Japanese just fine...for that session. Once I restart the computer again, the problem returns(they're still enabled), and I have to repeat the process.
