  No, it's not free - and is not an upgrade at any time, in any case.

• I have a new Mac Book Pro. If I buy 5 Lightroom now, can I upgrade to Lightroom 6 for free?

  I have a new Mac Book Pro. If I buy 5 Lightroom now, can I upgrade to Lightroom 6 for free?

  Nobody knows.

  The usual policy of Adobe in the past, it's that if you buy a version of Lightroom and within 30 days a new version comes out, they will give you a free upgrade. The problem is Adobe never pre announcement when the new version comes out. (And of course, Adobe could announce a different strategy for Lightroom 6)

  So, its up to you if buy you now or wait.

• where I can download windows 2000 for free that I have the key number for my laptop that has been updated for xp, but now it is really slow, so I want to go back too 2000

  where I can download windows 2000 to my laptop, it was the original windows for my laptop but I upgraded to xp, thinking that it would be quicker but it has become very slow, so I want to go back to 2000, but it was preinstalled and I do not have a disk but have the keycode on the basis of my computer laptop can anyone help

  You are unable to download any version of Windows.  You must contact the computer manufacturer that built your computer and install Windows 2000 on it to see if you can get a copy of their share.  I highly doubt you will be able to because Windows 2000 is entirely not taken in charge since 2005.

• Is there a student offer to windows 7 for people who currently have full vista? I would be willing to pay more, say $50 for an upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate student.

  Why is there not a similar level for students with Vista Ultimate?
  I have windows 7 and I have to pay even more, but I don't want to do a custom install and lose all my programs, that much I can not reinstall. Not to mention, I have at least 30 gigabytes of music to Zune subscription that I don't want to move.

  There is a poster here (user name French Guy) who suggested calling the microsoft store to get students at the price of Windows 7, try to call to see if they have something for Windows 7 Ultimate.

• Questions about upgrading Vista to Windows 7 for free as it was offered once?

  Several years ago I got when I was with Windows XP I spoke to Microsoft and said I could use the 64-bit and 32-bit disk on different computers, by using the same product key, but there are certain requirements.  I think the 2 computers were to be in the same place and I was the owner.  I'm a little hazy on the rules, but I know that I learned that I could use both versions 32 and 64 different bits with the same key.  I have a desktop running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional and a laptop running Vista.  Both are registered for me, but the laptop was a gift from our son for the wife who is disabled and never leaves the House except for visits to the doctor.  It comes preinstalled with Vista, but there were so many problems with Vista, Microsoft offers an automatic upgrade to Windows 7 at the time.  I never took advantage of this because Best Buy, where the laptop was purchased, wanted to get paid to do the upgrade.  My wife is now having a lot of trouble with various programs with Vista, I have two disc of Windows 7 Professional, I received directly from Microsoft, a 32-bit and 64-bit.  There is only 1 button, but I learned the upgrade to Windows 7 was supposed to be free.  I have much more knowledge now and can install the update myself, but can I use the 32 bit disc and the very key to do.  Otherwise, I would use the 32-bit disk and get a new key?  Where can I get a new key for the Vista upgrade to Windows 7 for free as it was offered once?

  This is incorrect information, product key for 1 license 1, 1 computer.

  I'm a little hazy on the rules, but I know that I learned that I could use both versions 32 and 64 different bits with the same key.

  Yes, and you can use it to activate on the same computer architecture.

  I have a desktop running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional and a laptop running Vista.  Both are registered for me, but the laptop was a gift from our son for the wife who is disabled and never leaves the House except for visits to the doctor.  It comes preinstalled with Vista, but there were so many problems with Vista, Microsoft offers an automatic upgrade to Windows 7 at the time.  I never took advantage of this because Best Buy, where the laptop was purchased, wanted to get paid to do the upgrade.  My wife is now having a lot of trouble with various programs with Vista, I have two disc of Windows 7 Professional, I received directly from Microsoft, a 32-bit and 64-bit.  There is only 1 button, but I learned the upgrade to Windows 7 was supposed to be free.

  Sorry, but this offer no longer exist.

  The Windows 7 Upgrade Option program debuted on June 26, 2009 , it provides that anyone who buys a PC to a participant OEM or retailer with Windows Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate to receive an upgrade to the corresponding version of Windows 7 at a cost little or not. The Option Windows 7 upgrade program will be available until January 31, 2010 and is global.

  I have much more knowledge now and can install the update myself, but can I use the 32 bit disc and the very key to do.  Otherwise, I would use the 32-bit disk and get a new key?  Where can I get a new key for the Vista upgrade to Windows 7 for free as it was offered once?

  You will need to purchase an additional license.

• 'Upgrade to Windows 8.1 free' application in the store asks me to log on as an administrator - I am already an admin and I can not understand how

  When I go to the Store tile in Windows 8, I was happy to see the "upgrading to Windows 8.1 free". I read about this free update, but it has never been available for me so far.

  However, when I click on download, it gives me an error saying: "you must use an account with administrator privileges. I'm an admin on the machine (for example I can run a command as administrator prompt without giving any creds). So I am confused on how to proceed.

  Any suggestions are appreciated.

  I have a compaq presario desktop bought at walmart

  I found the answer... the online HP chat support person told me that my pc both hardware and software have been bundles with windows 7, she then told me that she could sell me a new pc, a pc of the series P6100z with 320 GB hd and 2 GB of memory and a lot of things for a hugh discount It would include the windows 7 update. She said that the new pc sells for 299-499, but that she would give me a discount and sell it to me for 269.99... in any case, I ran the windows 7 upgrade advisor and it said that my computer can be upgraded to windows 7 32 bit home premium or ultimate. everything was fine... I should have know it was just the HP just lying to scare someone and sell another computer...

• Is there anywhere I can download windows XP for free?

  I'm sick to death of windows 7... Microsoft cannot admit, but it's full of glitches and that slow synaptic connections in the brain of Bush.

  So here's my question is there anywhere I can download windows XP for free?... Can seem retro, but I liked XP, once you got to know how to use it, it was fast and reliable, unlike windows 7 windows media, actually worked perfectly player...

  So can you get it for free?

  Original title: windows XP

  Now where I know. The only chance of getting XP would be to call the manufacturer of your PC support (if your PC originally came with XP) and request a recovery media. If your PC came with XP originally, the "recovery" partition can always also be the function that allows you to restore XP on your PC.

• Download Windows XP for free if I can do a 'Clean Install' of the system?

  "flatten and rebuild" process for Windows XP?

  How can I go about the process of 'flatten and rebuild' for Windows XP?  Download Windows XP for free if I can do a 'Clean Install' of this system?

  If you have a computer from a "direct OEMS" (e.g., Dell, HP, etc.), it is without doubt a restore hidden on the hard disk partition.  How access and use this feature differs between manufacturers, so again you must call the computer manufacturer or visit its web site.
