Re: [CGUYS] Windows 7 the question...
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 64 only to 64. All of this is going off the top of my head so I may have some of it wrong.

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.

To do it, go to Laplink.com and buy their PCMover product. It's about 30 bucks and seems to work flawlessly. I have not tried, but was told by a friend, that it did XP 32 bit to Vista 64 bit. THAT is worth it all by itself. (Which means you can use it to go from Vista 32 to 7 64- which cannot be done otherwise!) Eschew Obfuscation This is a reply from: Roy A. Ackerman, Ph.D., E.A.

Re: [CGUYS] Windows 7 the question...
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 it, it is a new license. Very expensive. I bought it to move the church computer and it does work well. But like I said can get expensive and you need to have two machines up and working.

Re: [CGUYS] Windows 7 the question...
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 (3 for $150 USD). I have no idea how easy it will be to install one of these versions clean, as they're upgrade versions. I know with Vista it wasn't difficult. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] Windows 7 the question...
Laplink offers PCmover Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant, which helps you upgrade quickly and easily from any version of Windows (version 2000 or later) to Windows 7. The download version is half-price ($14.95) today. http://www.laplink.com/pcmover/pcmoverupgradeassistant.html Cheers, Jan -Original Message- From: Computer Guys Discussion List [mailto:computerguy...@listserv.aol.com] On Behalf Of Marcio Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 10:36 AM To: COMPUTERGUYS-L@LISTSERV.AOL.COM Subject: [CGUYS] Windows 7 the question...

Re: [CGUYS] Windows 7 the question...
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.

Re: [CGUYS] Windows 7 the question...
I think it is similar to the Family pack (Student and Home) of Office 07. Three separate licenses.

Re: [CGUYS] Windows 7 the question...
I would guess that while this means 3 licenses, Windows 7 Family Pack only comes with one disk. Is this correct? Richard P.

Re: [CGUYS] Windows 7 the question...
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.
