    Hello

    You will need to purchase a license/disk/upgrade Windows 7 product key.

    Microsoft sells more Windows 7 and you would have to buy from Amazon, etc.

    There was a free upgrade offer, but it expired a long time ago:

    "The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option. »

    __________________________________________________

    There is no Vista SP3; SP2 has the latest Service Pack for Vista and will be the last.

    Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
