Home Premium X64 OEM Upgrade To Ultimate X64 Full?

Apr 21, 2011

I made the mistake of getting an OEM copy of windows 7, meaning I can only install it to one motherboard, however I plan on building a new system and I was wondering whether or not I should get the full version, just so I can transfer the license to another computer in the future. Also, is it possible to upgrade an OEM version to a full version? like windows 7 x64 home premium OEM --> windows 7 x64 Ultimate full version.

Can't Upgrade From Vista Ultimate To Windows 7 Ultimate

Feb 21, 2012

I bought the full retail Win 7 Ultimate and trying to upgrade Windows Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Ultimate, both 32bit. I get to the Expanding Windows files to 21% and nothing. The program is still running and stuck at 21% but after waiting 3 hours I shut power off and Vista was reinstated. Why can't I get past 21% Expanding Windows files? I want to use the upgrade because I have a ton of programs on my Vista and don't want to spend days reinstalling them.

Windows 7 Upgrade Instead Of Full On New HDD?

Jun 1, 2010

My HDD died on my vista computer (Custom built) and I would rather use windows 7. can I just buy the windows 7 upgrade disk and be able to forget about vista? I lost my vista disk and stuff some where in my basement and decided it was a sign. or will I need to find my vista disk install it and then upgrade? if the later is true I probably won't bother with 7.

Windows 7 Upgrade Disc Or Full

Jan 3, 2012

Just built my new computer but realized that I can't use the same Windows 7 disc/cd-key that's on my old computer because it's only one per computer when I thought it was 3. Looking at the prices on the Windows 7, it costs $119 for upgrade and $200 for full retail. From what I have read, when installing using the upgrade disc, it would detect my previous Windows version and if it's older than XP, or if there's no Windows installed, it would not activate Windows as it isn't a proper license and I would need the full retail one. Is this correct?

Windows RC About To Expire - Upgrade Or Full ?

Feb 26, 2010

little bit confused on what to do. I've been running the Windows RC since last summer, and as alot of you know its due to stop working on March 1, so naturally its time for me to bite the bullet and buy the normal release version.

However, I am a bit confused as to whether or not I can buy the upgrade version or not? From what I understand, you can just get the upgrade version if you are currently running XP or Vista. However, right now I have the RC installed.

Anyway, my plan is to do a format, and wipe the RC clean, then install a fresh version of retail Win7. Will I be able to do that if I purchase the upgrade version? I do have a legit copy of WinXP, however its not currently installed on my hdd, since I reformatted over the summer and put the 7 RC on instead. Will I need to reinstall XP first before upgrading?

I guess what I am asking is, what will happen if I reformat and just install the upgrade version fresh on a freshly reformatted partition?

BSOD During Upgrade From Vista Ultimate To Win 7 Ultimate

Oct 12, 2009

I've tried to upgrade from Vista Ultimate 32 bit to 7 Ultimate 32 bit numerous times now, all with the same result: a BSOD during the install process, which I get during (what I think is) the final step called "Transferring files, settings and programs."

The installation compatibility test warns me about my Nvidia drivers, which I've attempted to both remove and upgrade to the latest version, but that doesn't seem to make a difference (I still get the warning during the compatibility check, and I still get the blue screen). I'm not sure that's even the problem, either. I can't (easily) remove/replace the video card, since my mobo doesn't have onboard video, so I'd hopefully be able to avoid having to do that.

The error in the blue screen is a nebulous "REFERENCE_BY_POINTER" message. The technical information is "STOP: 0x00000018 (0x00000000, 0x86478030, 0x00000002, 0xFFFFFFFF)."

As a zip file, I've attached the setup log, error log, compatibility report, and what I think is the setup dump file, all of which I found in C:$WINDOWS.~BTSourcesPanther (I believe that's the right place to look). The logs complain about BthMig problems, which I think has something to do with bluetooth, but I don't have any bluetooth peripherals. I've uninstalled things that I thought might have some bluetooth things in it, like MS Intellitype (maybe a stretch), but again, no difference.

System specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, on an Asus M2N SLI Deluxe, with 4 GB of ram, and an Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT. The hard drive I'm installing (upgrading) on has about 100 GB free.

Trouble Upgrade From Vista Ultimate(32) - 7 Ultimate 32

Oct 26, 2009

I'm trying to upgrade a computer from Vista Ultimate (32 bit) to 7 Ultimate (32 bit) and I keep receiving this error message:

"This installation disc isn't compatible with your version of Windows. To upgrade, you need the correct installation disc. For more information, check your computer's system information. To install a new copy of Windows, restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc, and then select Custom (advanced)."

Now, I double-checked all the system requirements and the system is compatible with 7.

PC Hangs At Shutting Down Since Windows 7 Upgrade - Cannot Copy / Paste

Jan 18, 2011

I have a HP Pavilion which I purchased from Best Buy with the Vista operating system installed. This was of course prior to Windows 7 being released. I ordered the free upgrade disc but postponed doing the upgrade until just last weekend. While I like Windows 7 or at least what I have seen of it so far, I have encountered several problems that I have been unable to resolve.

1. When trying to restart or shut down the computer, it will log me off but then hangs at the "Shutting Down" screen. I have to force the shutdown by holding the power button.
2. I cannot copy and paste or cut and paste anything. Even in Windows explorer when working with files, explorer stops responding and I have to go to the task manager to close the program. This happens whether I am trying to copy and paste one file or a batch of 400 articles. It also does not matter if I use the right click menu or keyboard Ctrl C /X/ V.

I have run all of the Windows updates and installed all but a few optional updates that seemed to be unrelated to any problems that I am encountering, or related to hardware that I do not have installed on my system. I can copy and paste in my email program, Thunderbird, but the copy/cut/paste problem seems to be limited to Windows Explorer.

Full OS Vs An Upgrade

Jun 27, 2009

I have heard horror stories about upgrading to a new OS from and old one (95 to 98, 98 to Me, Me to XP, etc, etc) and that it is better to buy the full version and start with a clean slate... is there any truth to that? Are the Marketing Nazis behind this myth just to make you spend, yet, more money?

Frankly, I have never purchased any Microsoft OS until SP1 is out due to the bugs and glitches but, after testing the Windows 7 RC, not to its fullest of course, but to the extent of my liking, which by the way, is as far as I am ever going to take it anyways, I am thinking of dumping Vista x64 and just stick to 7.

Sure, there are still things that I can't do with 7 that I used to be able to do with XP easily but I am managing w/o them or trying to be patient with it... of course, that is not here nor there!

Key For Upgrade Or Full?

Sep 18, 2009

I might be getting a student deal for Windows 7 Ultimate. I noticed though that the box says "UPGRADE". So my question is with the key, if I download the RTM release of 7 Ultimate x64 can I use that key considering its the full and not the upgrade? Or does Microsoft specify their keys for full and upgrades?

Full Upgrade, Retail Or OEM

Jul 8, 2009

Are all the pre-order deals for upgrade software rather the full retail versions?

I have shelled out quite a bit on WinXP over the past few years and more recently due to both desktop and laptop falling over at the same time.

I want to be able to install any new operating system I buy on new hardware when that becomes necessary.

I have to be very sure. I am not wasting any more dosh on OEM versions.

It seems to me that just because you get a full version rather than an upgrade, that is something different to the license being OEM or Retail.

Full or upgrade version is not really the issue (although full is obviously better). For me it is about the license to install on new hardware as I upgrade that without buying a new copy of windows.

Does 'full' also mean that the install will not be tied to a previous copy of windows being installed first (or having the key for that version to hand)?

Full Or Upgrade Version ?

Oct 11, 2009

I am Currently running Windows XP Pro. I know I qualify to buy the Windows7 upgrade editions. I plan to install it on a new hard drive but the old hard drive will be there for upgrade verification. What happens if I later decide to wipe out my Windows 7 installation and do a fresh install? Or if my hard drive craps out and I need to do a fresh install? At that time I will not have an activated Windows XP os. Would I be better off with a full version of Windows 7?

Full Version Vs Upgrade

Oct 22, 2009

I have read here over the past few months that just about every upgrade disc of Windows allows a clean version install from within an already running copy of Windows. Has anyone tried this yet with Windows 7?

I've got the RTM version of Windows 7 installed currently obviously and would like to know if I can just buy the upgrade and not the full version (trying to save my pennies).
