free version of windows 7 for recent vista owners

I bought a new Dell in April 2009 and windows came out with the new windows 7 shortly after.  I was just told that it was a free upgrade offer distributed and I was wondering if it was still available.

Sorry, but you have been misinformed.  You can buy upgrades to Windows 7 genuine on theMicrosoft Store. Carey Frisch

  • Still, VmWare offers a free version of the reader for Windows?

    Hey all

    New here, but I have an account for years.

    I have problems with a Linux distro installed in my version of Windows 7 VmWare 7.1.3 build 3206955 and start watching to see if I had the latest version of VmWare. When I click on search upgrades of VmWare, I get "No update available", then a message to get the 12 workstation. I can't find a link to a free version more. What I see is a paid version of Workstation Player 12 if a link to FAQ mentions free for home use.

    I had to upgrade to this version?

    It will be free for me (home use)?

    It will be compatible with my ONE and ONLY Kubuntu 14.04 distro? (I've read some complaints on this forum of not being able to load the old installs after upgrade)

    Are there benefits to upgrade (if it's free)?

    Are there precautions to be considered for an upgrade (again, so free)?

    Thanks in advance for any help provided.

    Hi Golem,

    VMWare Workstation has two different flavors:

    -Workstation 'Pro '.

    -Workstation 'Player '.

    Both can do the same, and both are paid ESSENTIALLY software...

    But as "Pro Workstation" has more advanced features (that you may never) it is more expensive than "Workstation Player".

    And VMWare said explicitly that the use of VMWare Workstation Player is FREE if you use it for commercial purposes.

    Of course, it then comes between you and your conscience :-)

    Workstation Player installation you are prompted for a serial number, but can decide to leave this field empty by saying that you will use for a commercial use.

    I think all versions of Workstation are equal performance wise. They differ only features wise.

    As I have not used Workstation before a few weeks, I can't tell if you get all the benefits if you are upgrading an earlier version.

    Kind regards.

  • Wrong version of Windows 7 for my laptop

    Hello, I have Windows Ultimate 7 32 bit for my laptop which has Windows Vista Home Premium. It does not download because it says I need 64-bit. What I can do. I bought it some time ago but never improved because I was fine with Vista. But, now, I would like to upgrade. I can do apart from buying the correct version.

    If your computer is running a 64-bit version of Vista, then you have two choices:

    • Do a fresh install of Windows 7 32 bit.
    • Find an installation DVD for Windows 7 64 bit.

    Note also that the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate will be possible if you have Vista Ultimate.

  • The free upgrade to Windows 10 for new or existing Windows 7 SP1, Windows Update 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 devices qualified that upgrade the first year

    I had my laptop of HP 2000 for about 1 1/2 years, and had Windows 8 (not 8.1) preinstalled. The only problem: when you install the Technical Preview, my hard drive was completely wiped out and now I have no disk recovery plant. I would like to know if I can still qualify for the free upgrade offer for Windows 10.

    CJM

    Microsoft did not say who yet, but if you have a legitimate win 8 key you are probably eligible, but you may have to reinstall 8.0 > 8.1 update > update from 1 to 10.  They just did not for sure yet

  • Compatible version of Windows 10 for the outright purchase?

    Is there a version of Adobe Acrobat which is 10 Windows compatible and can be purchased for a load rather than subscription?

    This option is not available on this page.

    Unfortunately, it seems that Adobe hides the opportunity to purchase a perpetual license more and more as time passes.

    It can still be done by following these instructions, I have compiled:

    On the Page of Adobe products: https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html

    Click Buy next to Acrobat Pro DC and change the option 'I want to buy' to 'Full' (or 'Upgrade' If you have an earlier version of qualification). Select any other options, and then click Add to cart, proceed to checkout. You will get a full license, not a time-based subscription.
