• Windows Vista free upgrade to Windows 7 - GONE - WRONG!

  Hello.

  I bought this computer (HP Pavilion Dv61210 - his) coming 3 years ago now. I paid extra when I bought it to get the "free" upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 (which was not yet published).

  Anyway, the laptop died a few weeks ago and comes back with a new hard drive and you guessed it, VISTA! I hate Vista! I'd rather have XP Vista any day - but I want my copy of 7 back. If someone can advise on how I can do this, I would really apprecaite it. I know that the download page has been foolishly removed the other everything on time and the old hard drive is completely dead.

  I don't see why, after paying extra money on top (so the upgrade was not really free!), I can't have the operating system that I paid for. It is simply not good enough. I paid for the copy of windows 7 and I do not know that HP have documents who was eligeable / who downloaded the upgrade - which I am sure they can find me on as this is the same computer, series / product number, address recorded at etc - so I don't see why I can't get my copy , either to download or by mail on a disk for me.

  And prior to the issuance of the; "Yes, but they do not give you the discs any cause you can put it on computer and then one more" comes when you buy a copy in the store, on a disk, you can do this - does not mean that we all do well! I have HP hard drive dead if need be prove my copy is lost. Hell, they can take my laptop and install the OEM version on it for all, I worry so it would certainly be installed only on a single computer!

  THIS IS WHY PEOPLE NEED DISKS, HP!  IF YOUR PRODUCT FAILS, AS THIS ONE DID, WHY WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY MORE BECAUSE YOUR PRODUCTS ARE OF INFERIOR QUALITY? If I had the copy that I paid for a drive, I wouldn't even be here ranting about it, CAUSE I had HAVE RE-INSTALLED IT ALERADY!

  I think his dispicable to delete the download page and prevent people to recover expensive software, in this case a BONE, they paid for (and the computer only on the condition that he would have to purchase Windows 7 when it is released). It's basically theft! When you pay for something and you don't get it, you don't accept it! No, you're saying "they stole my money!"...

  It's not like HP is so tight on cash, they need to do these things, so that people who cannot afford having to buy new things all the time thanks to remove any kind of person to find their products! Absolutely disgusting!

  I even remember that when I was downloading the upgrade and internet problems, I called HP and was told by the woman if I could not download it, I could not have the disk and there is no refund. So I said: 'it means you're telling me that I paid for a product you can't have and you don't give me my money back?' and she said 'yes' and hung up. Shows you how much HP cares about their customers! Disgusting!

  Will not buy this brand again, definitely! The level of what is called 'customer service' is enough for you put off, never mind of waste like that!

  Hello
  
  What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
  Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
  Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
  Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:

  I bought Windows Vista Home Premium and got a free upgrade to Windows 7, which I have installed on Computer1.  Can I install Vista on a second computer computer2 and still be legal?

  Is same question with versions of Microsoft office, if I have multiple versions allowed to install an earlier version on a second computer and stay legal?

  No, unfortunately not, when you upgraded to Windows 7 indeed renounce you your right to use Vista. But keep the product key and Vista media where you need to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 again.

  For MS Office (according to license as some allow multiple installations) If this older version is not in use you can install it on this computer second no questioned asked.
