Free upgrade to Win7 possible after eligible Win7RC on Vista installation?

This has not been answered in the FAQ

I just bought a TX2-1615au eligible for the upgrade.

I don't want to learn Vista (still on XP) so I want to install Win7 Release Candidate immediately.

By releasing Win7, I'll be able to install the free Win7 Upgrade after October 22, because he will not be able to test a valid Vista Home Premium?

"I installed XP and Windows 7 RTM and dual boot works perfectly.

Thanks Dexter!

Looks like it's going to be the way forward with confidence .

The Australian magazine PC Authority of September 09 explains how to redo installing Dual Boot of Vista Win7RC. The DVD cover contains the software for me to save a large download.

Actually using Vista, XP users, is not as hard as I thought. I can just run with minimal applications installed on Vista and then move to Win7 after October 22, hoping that the apps will migrate without pain.

If I can't get a few apps to load on Vista, I'll just keep using them on my old XP laptop.

    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.

  • I bought a Vista with upgrade to Win7 computer, how do I use Vista on another system

    I upgraded my system to Win - 7, but I bought the HP computer & system with a qualified Vista - Win 7 upgrade.

    Hello

    You cannot install your pre-installed Vista that came with your HP computer on another laptop

    Preinstalled OEM Licenses (including HP, Acer, etc.) are linked to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

    OEM licenses are not transferable.

    And even if it is a retail license you cannot transfer in this situation.

    Your something Windows 7 UPGRADE license (legal, Windows operating system activated) necessary for the upgrade of.

    And that 'something' has Vista.

    Now, the Vista license allows you to use the Windows 7 upgrade license and is now part of the Windows 7 license.

    See you soon.

  • It is possible to run Easy Transfer after upgrading to Win7 AND AFTER installs all applications?

    Update of XP (32 bit) for Win 7 (64-bit).  Transfer easy on the old system and also saved.  Performed a clean install of Windows 7 without any problem.

    The instructions say to upgrade Win7, then run to transfer, and THEN install the apps.  Well, I have not read the instructions and correctly installed Win7, installed applications and now need to execute the transfer.

    That is problem?  It is even possible to run easy transfer now?  Should I reinstall all applications again?

    (I'm not worried for the part 32-bit to 64-bit, I just included this info with full disclosure).

    Thank you
    brand

    Thanks for the post brand.  the transfer is intended to capture data and the status of the user.  He didn't have much to do with the migration of the applications with the exception of the view that it is able to create a report that identifies what applications may need to be installed on the new machine.  in order to integrate the data of the machine inherited from the windows machine 7, we should have run the version of Windows 7 easy transfer on the Windows XP machine before recharging.

    If we capture the data of the XP machine before reloading, then we can re-read the data at any time - even after that applications are installed

    Here's hoping that you captured user data and the State with easy transfer before you wipe and reload.

  • G71-340US notebook: no sound after 10 Windows free update of WIN7 on a G71-340US laptop with CODEC IDT.

    After the free upgrade to WIN7 for WIN10 my laptop has no noise (with internal or external speakers). I tried to uninstall driver IDT and allowing windows 10 to reinstall the driver through scanning for changes of HW - still no sound. I would appreciate any guidance or fixes to this problem. Thank you.

    I'm happy to announce that I now have sound on my laptop G71-340US. After that more detailed error troubleshooting I found that there is an application called IDT Audio PC (aka IDT HD Sound) installed on my laptop by HP (OEM), I think. While I don't know exactly what function of this application is, it seems, it is related to activation of the feature of IDT HD Codec drivers. Somehow, I decided to look in Task Manager - startup and I saw this listed IDT Audio PC. I clicked on disable and then a minute later clicked on activate. After I did that, as simple as it seems, I have now heard both internal and external speakers. This is the first time I heard all the sounds since the upgrade to WIN10. I checked several times by re-booting my laptop and every time I now have sound. I will continue to test it through the week and see if it continues to be OK. In the meantime, I thought I'd share this potential fix (or solution) with all stakeholders. Perhaps others will find this useful and give me your comments. Fingers crossed!

    PS. BTW, if anyone out there knows what PC IDT sound is by all means share your knowledge. I'm curious why this app appears more often in the forum messages and how it can relate to the WIN10 upgrade. Sorry, but I do not remember what prompted me to look at the task - starting but Manager I'm glad I did. It's great to hear again!

  • After signing to Windows 10 free upgrade and if windows 7 or 8 re-installed will still get 10 free upgrade Windows.

    Hi friends.

    I'm new to this forum.

    Wanted to know, had recently windows flash 10 indicator of free upgrade. Registered for it but for some reason, I need to reinstall my Windows 7 64 bit SP1.

    After re-installation of Windows 7 after 3 days as I have not received flag upgrade windows 10 on my system tray.

    So I would like to know, if I get the upgrade windows free 10 when it is available.

    Concerning

    C.

    There is no need to "reserve" anything.  This is purely marketing share MS to "encourage" users upgrade.  They will be happy to pass any OS eligible in the first year for free, and it will remain free for the life of the device when it was released on July 29

    There will be some ISO available when win 10 is out July 29
    In almost all cases you data should migrate seamlessly

  • Can I install Win7 upgrade on another computer after upgrade Win8 on my computer?

    Initially, my computer came with Vista installed. Three years ago, I bought an upgrade to Win7 and installed. A few months ago, I bought and installed an upgrade of Win8 on the same computer. I have another computer running Vista, and I was wondering if I could use the Win7 upgrade license to upgrade this computer. Technically, the upgrade of Win8 could meet the requirements with the Vista license on the original computer. I run Win7 on the other computer without having to buy a new license. Is this possible? The upgrade disks are details of Microsoft.

    Yes, it is possible. Because the machine was originally license with a qualification license (Vista), he would take the place of this license, thus freeing the Windows 7 Upgrade to serve elsewhere. So, Yes, you can transfer it to other Vista machine.
