any way to redeem an upgrade option expired windows 7?

My parents have just found the certificate when cleaning their office and it expired in 2010. I'd love to upgrade, but I'm unemployed at the moment (poor student too). The computer was purchased with Windows Vista Home Premium at the end of 2009. Is it possible to still buy the upgrade?

Hello

I suggest you try the steps in the following Microsoft article. And check also the promotion offers that Microsoft provides for the stdents upgrade to Windows 7.

  • Expiration of the Windows 7 upgrade option!

    Hi, I bought a Toshiba laptop a few months before Windows 7 came out, making sure he had a Windows 7 upgrade option. I didn't upgrade when W7 came out because there could be problems with a new version - obviously I thought that I would wait to see how it was received. In any case, a friend of mine convinced me the other day that it is much better than Vista and I had to upgrade, but now I thought that there was a time limit on the upgrade option, and it expired on 28 February - last Sunday! I can either spend - I missed the boat. I called the customer service, but all they could do was repeat what the web page - the option has expired so far go.

    I'm not at all happy about this because at no time I tells me that there is a limit of time on it. He didn't say it in product information, or outside of the box or what be provided inside the box. I had no idea that I had to do before the end of February for this - if I did I would have done it.

    As far as I'm concerned, I paid for Windows 7. The upgrade option came as part of the cost of the laptop without any mention of a deadline. Toshiba can not see it like that, but it's a reasonable person would believe according to the information provided. Did someone else upset about this? I hope posting here will inspire the action without me having to be made to the small claims court. There is no way that this may be eligible under the law of consumption. Imagine a person selling a book token that had a period of 6 months without telling them and without printing anywhere on the token! That may not be legal.

    If all goes well, there will be a few of us to exert pressure on this issue.

    Hello

    I have ordered the Win7 upgrade kit at the right time and now use Win7 on my Satellite A300.

    What I can say is that this forum is nothing but forum users and here you won't find any option just official statement by people like you and me.
    Another thing, this downloadable image. As far as I know that something like that can not be downloaded.
    What you can do now is to buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version of Win7.

    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but all new laptops are supported Win7 and you can find all the important factors, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page.

    Is there a way to change the default options when png or JPEG received on a mac? I can choose between backup to the downloads folder, or open photos. I would like to open in preview instead. Any ideas?

  • Have 3.6.28 like my boyfriend, hate v4 layout and refusing to update. Today, that he found his update automatically. Any way I can avoid this cruel fate?

    When its automatically updated to 4 against his will, he lost everything... cookies, bookmarks, history, etc. He is also seen extreme lagg now and everything is so slow for him, especially selected bookmarks... If it moves the mouse over the list and rapidly down the highest point is unable to follow and it bounces always up and down trying to catch up for a while after that it stops.

    I really want to share this horrible fate, I love my FireFox 3.6 and use it over other browsers. I don't want to just lose and be forced to this provision of the terrible version 4, if I was I might as well switch to Chrome when I start again from scratch, because it is at least a bit more tolerable (though of course less than FireFox 3.6) design.

    Is it all, ANY way I can avoid this and not have my torn 3.6 away from me as my boyfriend did?

  • The Sound Recorder with W7 now seems much more rudimentary than the old version, and I can't find any way to insert messages into My Documents.

    My O.S. is W.7. 32-bit.

    Before, I recently upgraded to XP and using MS Word 2007, I have a (short) Sound Clip of pre-registration<60 secs. )="" and="" then="" insert="" it="" into="" my="">

    A small icon that looks like a speaker appeared on the Document and that the beneficiary would have left click on it to hear the recording. The Sound Recorder with W7 now seems much more rudimentary than the old version, and I can't find any way to insert messages into My Documents.

    Is this even possible or has Microsoft taken a step backward here?

    I'd appreciate some help here. Thanks in advance. Mech-Tech.

    Original title: Sound Recorder

    If I've understood your problem, try this. Create a shortcut to "soundrecorder /file outputfilename.wav" (without the quotes).

    Then start soundrecorder via this shortcut and start and stop the recording, it will save so (hopefully) as a wav as before.

    I think the problem is, W7 soundrecorder, by default, saves to wma.

    If not, try a 3rd free part program such as Audacity (which seems like overkill, but should do the job).

    I hope this will help.

    Hey Pratik,

    As long as registration has been shared (manually via the share record option that has the host or through the e-mail received by participants) and then the link for registration will be still valid after the user is disabled.

    There is no other way to access this disk once the account is disabled, also to reactivate it, log and generate the share link for records associated with the account.

  • I can't run Windows 7 upgrade on my desk. It is said to double click, then I click on a screen to put in disk. I also had this thing to power2go. Thanks for any help. I'm upgrading to vista.

    Buy windows 7 from microsoft sotre online and downloaded to computer for about 12 hours.

    Installation time can vary depending on factors such as the speed of the processor, memory and your data set (including your personal files, settings and installed applications that must be transferred during the upgrade. Some upgrades may take an average of 2 hours 25 minutes, but there has been cases of up to 20 hours.

    If installation still remains non-compliant, turn the system off, wait 10 minutes. Start it again and choose the option on the Boot Manager to restore the installation for Windows Vista, try the following steps below:

    1 disable any security software before you attempt to upgrade or do a clean install.
    2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)

    4. check your hard disk for errors:
    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.
