I will qualify for the free upgrade to Windows 10?

I bought Windows 7 Professional, a few weeks after his arrival, and in the past 7 years have reinstalled several times. I can no longer use the CD key to activate it, I have reinstalled so much. I paid about $180 for it, so I wonder if I can get this update even if the only way to use my CD with Windows 7 is to activate it by methods 3rd party now.

You should be able to, but you will need to have installed Windows 7.

  • 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.

    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

  • Legitimate request for a free upgrade to Windows 7

    I am new to this forum and am revolted by the attitude of the staff of the Toshiba customer support to my legitimate request for a free upgrade to windows 7, here's an email I wrote in which I would appreciate your comments on:

    To the right.

    I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with your response to my legitimate request for a free upgrade to Windows 7 see I recently spent more than £1,000 of one of your products.

    After having several problems with the Vista operating system, I telephoned your customer on December 4 and had a conversation with an employee who could not satisfy me as to why my machine was not entitled to an update free to Windows 7, as mentioned on your web site.

    He offered to take me up to a supervisor I agreed and that was connected to a female member of staff who tried to explain that my model did not appear in the "promotion". I couldn't sense in explaining, in the context of facts that my machine was of the same age and from the same family as those seen offer "promotion."

    This employee was still unable to respond or understand my question and said that it is not technical interested so I asked him to put me through to his supervisor and after 10 minutes on the line, I need to speak to Alistair Cook.

    Mr. Cook explained 'promotion' for me, but could not explain why my model was not an option, so he said he'd call at the time where he discovered why. What he has made some time after and repeated her account earlier with no clarity. He said he would do more research on the issue and send me the results.

    This contacting your customer support Office took a total of 48 minutes on the phone.

    Vista is of all intentions, a failure, a fact that you accept your offer of free updates to your customers, so why discriminate against some consumers and not others.

    I am a user of long-standing computers Toshiba, the Qosmio is my third laptop and I have always been satisfied customer support, not that it was greatly needed. So, I ask again that do you the right thing and give me my eligibility based on principles.

    Yours sincerely.
    John ebrill

    Hi mate

    Very interesting point of view.
    But the fact is that not all cell phones from Toshiba are checked for an upgrade to Windows 7.
    Why?

    Well, I checked Toshiba European page
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> Windows 7 upgrade

    and there I was able to find a list of FAQS.

    One of the FAQ provides this info:

    _What requirements I must meet to participate in the program of upgrade? _

    + To participate in the upgrade program, you must meet the three following criteria: +.
    + 1. You purchased your Toshiba computer between June 26, 2009 and January 31, 2010. +
    + 2. Your Toshiba computer is one of the series of model to check on the Toshiba page. +
    + 3. With your Toshiba computer, you bought an operating system Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, Windows Vista® professional or Windows Vista® Ultimate Edition. +

    It seems that several criteria must be met in order to participate in the Windows 7 upgrade program.

  • How can I reformat laptop which came with the free upgrade to Windows 7. Update download

    I have a Hp Pavilion DV4-1430us comes with Windows Vista and had a free upgrade to Windows 7. I have updated successfully in December 2009. Laptop still works fine, but it's certainly time to reformat.  Only problem is that I don't have the disc of Windows 7 because it was a download.  I believe that the recovery partition will have the older operating system.  Can I create a recovery for the OS system disk I use now (windows 7)?  I don't have any except the original e-mail that said that I ordered the upgrade with a non-functional link on the HP Windows 7 Upgrade site.

    The Vista HP recovery partition may still exist, but, due to the upgrade of the operating system, it may not work. Options to return the computer to a factory State include the marking of the score of "HP Recovery" active using the Windows disk management console or you are ordering and using a set of HP recovery disks.

    Before you recover your computer, please check your email for a provided HP Windows 7 key or use the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to retrieve your current Windows 7 product key. Then download the same version of Windows 7, you have HERE or HERE. Now create your installation media of Windows 7 on a DVD or a USB Flash drive. Please download and use Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to create the installation media.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

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

I have a laptop pretty old (Sony VAIO 2009 or 2010) and it came with Vista, but it was a Windows 7 free upgrade, so it is running Windows 7.

    No, you can buy a full license for this computer. The free update is installed just for devices with Windows 7 or 8.1.
