Buy Windows 7 upgrade to 10

Can I buy Windows 7 now and upgrade to 10 (for free) once it is released?

I have a macbook, it would work, or should I get something else?

I save money and buy a copy of the full version of Windows 10 when it is released.

If you buy Windows 7 now, you will need to do a gradual upgrade.

  • Buy Windows 7 UPGRADE on accident. Need the Version complete. Will be full version key work?

    I'm a Mac user, but I need Windows for work.

    After installing my copy of Windows 7, I realized arriving at the product key activation page that I bought a version upgrade of the software, so the product key did not work because I did a full clean install.
    I'm able to return the Windows 7 upgrade as Amazon customer service is so awesome.
    If I buy the FULL version of the same product (Windows 7 SP1) will work without having to reinstall everything?
    From my understanding, I have 30 days to activate my system with a correct product key. My hopes are that I can work on this system in the meantime until my full version. I just want to be sure that the FULL version product key is all that I need.
    Note: It was my stupid mistake. The product description clearly says 'Upgrade' and I managed to miss. :(
    Thanks for any help!

  • "Windows anytime upgrade wasn't sucsessful.

    Hello

    I try to use windows anytime upgrade to update my Windows Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional operating system. Everything works fine. The initial upgrade key valid without any problem, and a window pops up after about 30-40 seconds to say;

    WINDOWS UPGRADE, "launch the upgrade"...

    The upgrade may take as little as 10 minutes on... Your computer restarts automatically.

    After about 10 minutes a message ""Windows anytime upgrade was not sucsessful"- the upgrade wasn't sucssesful, please try the upgrade again."

    I tried this 6 times now with the same result every time. I can't find anywhere on the MS site where I can get help for this. I paid UK£ 120.00 for this windows any time upgrade key, and it seems that the only way I can send an e-mail to aid must pay UK£ 46.00 email support which is crazy for a new product.

    Someone kindly help me.

    Thank you

  • What is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1?

    I have Vista 32 bit Home Premium.It does not support Windows Mail.Which is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1? I do not have a touch screen system, my system is five years old.

    Original title: upgrade

    Hello WilliamPopat,

    If you want to buy an another operating system, you would do better to buy the latest version, i.e., Windows 8.1 it doesn't matter that you don't have a touch screen like Windows 8.1 will work just as well on a desktop PC / laptop normal.

    However, before rushing and buying a copy of Windows 8.1, I suggest that you look at this link http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/11885-windows-8-upgrade-assistant-download-run.html the link above shows Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard you can download (free) and allows you to check that your PC is compatible with the latest version of Windows.

    According to me, one of my office machines is around 5 or 6 years and Windows 8/8.1 works fine on it.  However, it is best to check your own machine with the wizard upgrade just in case.

  • Can I still buy windows 7 anytime upgrade home premium to ultimate?

    Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, seems to be making it impossible to upgrade windows 7 (the OS want) and trying instead to us force to buy windows 8 (BONE, no one wants to).  All I want to do is add the functionality in Remote Desktop Host for desktop of my wife so that she can use its CAD software, sitting by the fire with his laptop.  I see several key product available online from sources, which I do not trust.  How can I get a key to upgrade without being constrained to Win *?

    Windows Anytime Upgrade fell under the retail licenses, Microsoft took the end sales in October 2013.

    You could try buying a code upgrade Express at amazon.com, if one is still in stock.

    Microsoft Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade (Home Premium to Ultimate) [Code online]

    If its not available, you can buy Home Premium to professional, which includes the remote desktop:

    Microsoft Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade (Home Premium to Professional) [Code online]

    If this is not available either, your best option is to purchase an upgrade to Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition retail and use the product key with the Express Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Wizard:

    Version upgrade - Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Upgrade

    Version upgrade - Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade

    You can use the product key and the Express upgrade to Windows 7 Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional Edition-full. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional/ultimate at the request, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify its update of the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional/ultimate your files, programs and settings retained.

    Friend upgrade XP to windows 7. not authentic Windows message receipt.  Buy Windows 7 and downloaded to "fix the problem". Computer crashed, but I got a new drive. Should I try install

    Hello

    So the Windows 7 machine is fine, but its also empty! That we can help you. The XP machine is another matter. If you want to upgrade these machines to Windows 7, and the minimum hardware requirement is met, you can buy discs of software of Windows 7 operating system for each machine (1 motherboard = 1 license for purchased software).

    In addition, I highly recommend you reformat two machines for them to XP RID completely, not to mention viruses / malware. If you plan to update the two XP machines with own versions of XP, that's fine, but this isn't the forum for this, the Windows XP forum would be the place, go here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp?tab=QnA .

    Thus, the machine to Windows 7. To take no chances. Allows to run several scans on the new machine. You said "didn't work any more", I suppose you can't start Windows, ways to correct? If so, the answer is a program you burn on a CD called BootMed; Download 64-bit here: http://download.cnet.com/BootMed-64Bit/3000-2094_4-75450831.html and the 32-bit version from here: http://download.cnet.com/BootMed/3000-2094_4-75448200.html (only use the Direct download link).

    Once downloaded, burn it to a CD, load this CD in Windows 7 computer and ensure that the CD drive is the first boot device, restart the computer. This will load a modified version of Ubuntu on your system, which includes antivirus and anti-malware programs. Run and remove anything they find. When they have finished their trial scans restarting the computer without the CD installed. What happens now?

    Post your results here and let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards

  • I am buying a new computer without an operating system installed and you want to know if my Windows 7 Upgrade disk can be used to install Windows 7?

    I'll buy a kit of barebones without preinstalled operating system and was wondering if I could use my Windows 7 upgrade disk to install Windows on the new PC.

    Short answer 'NO '.

    Upgrade means upgrade. An upgrade can only be used to upgrade a previous version of XP or Vista. You will need to purchase a full retail or OEM version to install on a computer without an operating system.

    The upgrade to Windows XP?

    Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

    Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

    More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

    2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

    3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

    If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.
