  Yes, you will be able to use a full or upgrade version license retail or upgrade Express (Windows 7 Professional) to upgrade Express of Windows 7 Home Premium (OEM System Builder).

  If you make significant changes to the computer such as changing your motherboard, this would automatically cancel the OEM Windows 7 Home Premium, in addition to the upgrade version of Windows 7 Professional.

  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
   
  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
   
   
   
  -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
   
  -HP use F9 on most of its systems
   
  -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems
   
  -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

  -Dell uses F12
   
   
   
  In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
   
   
   
  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

• My laptop camera image on the upside after the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

  I have a laptop Asus G50Vt - X 1, which is a 64-bit computer. It had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit installed on it and the unit worked properly with him. I ran the update of Windows 7 Advisory on this matter and he said I could upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. After the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit the images from the camera are all upside. I contacted Asus about the problem and they sent me the drivers updated, but the images are still upside down. Pourrait Windows 7 cause this problem as I know that it worked fine under Vista?

  I also noticed that my dvd/cd player and external hard drives don't stop the execution after that I have quit an application. When this happens, I can't eject the cd or remove the drive from the computer.

  The windows of origin is always on display as shown above, but I received a free upgrade to Windows XP Professional CD and installed on my computer. And under 'Information system', it shows as - Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3.

  This problem started about 10 days when I used the CD of XP Professional to correct a problem. My computer is a Dell Dimension 5100 and I have two CDs that were sent to me - Dell - Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP 3 and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Version 2005 with update Rollup 2.

  Thanks again and I ran the "fix it" you suggested but it have no problem found to fix. Every thing works fine on my system, but Media Center won't play DVD. It will play CDs and videos on my system.

  The initial problem was that I could not download the Blackberry Desktop Software - updates needed. The computer came with Windows XP Media Center Edition Home and I use Internet Explorer 8 as my default browser. I also use Mozilla Firefox as my backup browser.

  Also note that you don't have NO Windows XP Media Center Edition, installed now if you upgraded to Windows XP Professional.

  PS: If "winver" still says Windows XP Media Center Édition, did you not correctly upgraded & something is not. Better contact the Dell Support on this issue (if they'll still talk to you).

• 2710 XPS (mid-2012) Core i7: upgrade to Windows 10 Professional

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone with XPS 2710 (mid-2012) Core i7 has successfully upgraded to Windows 10 professional?

  If so, it would be useful to know how long the Windows 10 Professional upgrade works and if the hits include a clean install.

  Would appreciate any further feedback/suggestion on the upgrade of this model.

  Thank you.

  As far as I KNOW, anyone who could save a 2710 XP from Win 10 black screen of death, returned to their old version of Windows. So even if they were able to recover, they don't run win 10.

  If you need to win 10, you can sell this PC with Win 8.1 and not risk trying to upgrade. You get at least a few $$ out of a nice working system.  If you upgrade to Win 10 and it fails...
