NO! They have not made that possible they ask that you back up all your data etc. and do a clean install of 7. The only upgrade paths are from Windows Vista Home (Both Flavors) to 7 Home Premium. Vista Business to 7 Professional. Vista Ultimate to Vista Enterprise Also note 32 only to 32

Nope, you have to do a clean install and it will move your Progra files and My documents folders to windows.old or some such. Marcio m...@ix.netcom.com wrote: Just a simples question: can I upgrade to Windows 7 on the top of my XP Professional?... Again thanks Marcio

Whenever I go to the trouble of upgrading my own OS, I figure it's worth it to install clean to a new drive. That way I dump all the old garbage, and I still have the old drive intact should I need it. And I have a young drive for my new OS. I just ordered a new 1tb drive and the Win7 Family Pack

Yes it does work, but you must have two computers up and running to make it happen. Also it is a one off purchase. Every time you go to use

Does the Family Pack require that all 3 licenses be installed in the same household? Or is it just 3 different licenses that can be used anywhere? Thanks, Richard P. On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 12:21 PM, Tony B ton...@gmail.com wrote: I just ordered a new 1tb drive and the Win7 Family Pack (3 for

I think it is similar to the Family pack (Student and Home) of Office 07. Three separate licenses. Stewart At 01:00 PM 10/22/2009, you wrote: Does the Family Pack require that all 3 licenses be installed in the same household? Or is it just 3 different licenses that can be used anywhere?

I would guess that while this means 3 licenses, Windows 7 Family Pack only comes with one disk. Is this correct? Richard P. On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 2:06 PM, Stewart Marshall revsamarsh...@earthlink.net wrote: I think it is similar to the Family pack (Student and Home) of Office 07.  Three

I believe so; one disk, three licenses. But I have no idea how they could really ensure you aren't just chipping in with two friends. Why the heck isn't this available for download anyway? I've been buying games via download for years now. No need for disks. On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 3:13 PM,
