Can I use a version of Windows 7 on my HP store bought?

I have a desktop PC HP Pavilion Elite HPE-400f with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro (64 bit). My school has this at a price lower than the anytime upgrade. Did I meet problems in using this on my RESUME?

You can install Windows 7 pro as a new installation. However, you will lose all the software and recovery capabilities preinstalled.

I suggest you create a kit of recovery for your system and then install the retail version of Windows 7. To create a recovery kit, see the following link:

Drivers for your system is available from the following link:

  • How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 upgrade copy corresponds to?

    A few years back, one of my friends gave me his old computer running Windows 7.  I just had to replace the motherboard and processor on it, and when I went to reinstall Windows, I learned that the CD Win7 key he had corresponded to a Windows 7 upgrade version.  From what I could tell, I need to install an older version of Windows first, and then use the upgrade CD to return to Win7.  I installed Windows XP Home Edition and I tried, but the CD Win7 said that I had the wrong version of Windows to upgrade.  I installed Windows Vista and got the same thing.  How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 update of that CD will modernize?

    Thank you!

    Looks like the copy of Windows 7, you were trying to install from Windows XP Home Edition is a 64-bit version.

    You will need to boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:
    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    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.

    You will receive the following warning:

    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.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    Your terms "Extended Desktop" are ambiguous, as you have not provided sufficient details with your question.

    The correct terminology is "Desktop Extension" or "Desktop covering.  It is important to note that these are two things a little different.  Fully answer your question, it is necessary to describe the differences.

    Others that by activating the special modes provided by the specific video drivers on the special cards, Windows 7 does not support Desktop covering.  The WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) for Windows 7 does not have The Extension Office.

    The Extension Office differs from Office covering that with Extenstion Desktop games will not mode "full screen" on all screens.  Also, you will see the taskbar on only one of the monitors, and will maximize demand for only the full monitor on which it resides when you press the expand button.  However, it is possible to resize a window on multiple monitors.  Also, it hosts capabilities and monitors of different resolutions.

    Apart from the games and their preferences for the maximization of the app, Desktop Extension is very useful.

    According to me, is it possible to use The Extension Office - a collection of video equipment - extend your Windows 7 Desktop in any number of monitors, although I have only used it with two monitors myself.

    -Christmas

    P.S. on the chances that your question is about a desktop image stretching on several monitors: Yes, you can do it.  Create a desktop image that is the size, in pixels, of the horizontal and vertical of the desktop space, and select 'Tile' mode when you set the background.
