Windows 7 Upgrade From Existing DVD And Student Key?

Dec 16, 2011

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?

Win 7 Student Upgrade

Oct 25, 2009

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?

Anyone Tried Student Upgrade From Within RC1?

Oct 22, 2009

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?

Use Student Download To Upgrade

Oct 28, 2009

Can 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?

Question About Student Upgrade

Dec 3, 2009

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.

Student Upgrade From 32bit To 64bit

Oct 22, 2009

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?

Student Upgrade - Disk Kit Question

Oct 23, 2009

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.

Student And Faculty 32-bit Upgrade Version To 64-bit

Dec 14, 2009

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.

ISO Image And Student Upgrade License?

Jun 17, 2012

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.

Student Upgrade On Virtual Machine - Activation

Nov 3, 2009

I 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?

How To Upgrade To 7 Ultimate With Existing Windows 7

Jul 8, 2010

Just this week I noticed I had a Windows Update icon in my system tray. When I opened it up I got an error stating that it could not check for windows updates. It also had the error code of 80070490. I've tried running the Readiness Tool that was suggested in the Windows knowledge base article but that didn't fix it. The only other option that I have been able to find is to re-install (or re-upgrade) my operating system. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate on this laptop and I'm not sure if I have the CD/DVD of the operating system as the OS came installed on my laptop when I got it (from Lenovo). So, I've decided that since I was going to upgrade to Windows 7 at some point, I might as well do it now.My question is I'm wondering if this Windows Update problem will somehow hamper the upgrade to Windows 7. Does anyone know? I don't want to buy the upgrade package and try to preserve my files and program installations only to have this Windows Upgrade piece be a key component of the upgrade to Windows 7 and it all fail.

Upgrade To Widows N7 X64 From 32 With New HD But Keep All Existing Settings

Nov 24, 2011

Im currently running windows 7 32 bit on a 150Gb SATA drive and want to upgrade to a larger SATA 2 drive to utilise the motherboards potential. Im also looking to upgrade my memory as 32 bit doesnt support anything more than 4Gb. Ive searched most forums and found that i do need to carry out a clean install, but is there a way to create a system image from the 32 bit and only restore the programs and settings that i require. Im not looking forward to re-installing all programs from scratch unless i absolutely have to. Im also worried that even if i cant restore programs that all my settings wont be recovered. I am planning on still keeping my existing hard drive as a slave and use for backup, so before i format this i will still have access to all my information.

Microsoft Office Home And Student 2007 Compatible With Windows 7

Dec 1, 2012

I clicked on Microsoft office 2007 Home & student edition. It displayed "The version of this file is not compatible with the version you're running (Windows 7 premium). Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86(32-bit) or x64(64-bit) version of the program, then contact the software publisher". I checked the version and it was 32 bit (under Program X86). The problem was the application (Microsoft word 2007) worked last night, until the windows update 7 has caused the application to become incompatible. Is there a way to correct the error?
