Upgrade Windows 7 Edition Family Premium in Windows 8 for Windows 8.1 and maintain programs of Windows 7?

Hello, I have just brought Windows 8 Pro Upgrade and improved to it from Windows 7 Home Premium. I chose to keep my programs, settings and personal files from Windows 7 and so everything has moved on more than Windows 8. Before deciding to buy Windows 8, I tried Windows 8.1 Overview but who won't let me keep my Windows 7 programs. I did an online hunting and found that it cannot keep their programs if they upgrade to Windows 8.1 Overview of Windows 7. It will always be the case once Windows 8.1 released? What about users upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8? One will lose their programs to Windows 7 after that that they have upgraded to Windows 8 and then update/update of Windows 8.1 once it comes out? The most important that I have on my PC programs are Word and Excel from Microsoft Office Starter 2010 comes with my PC. I don't want to lose these. Thank you.

Yes

What about users upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8?

People, the upgrade of Windows 8 for the final version of Windows 8.1 will be able to retain the settings, applications and personal files.

One will lose their programs to Windows 7 after that that they have upgraded to Windows 8 and then update/update of Windows 8.1 once it comes out?

See the answer above.

The most important that I have on my PC programs are Word and Excel from Microsoft Office Starter 2010 comes with my PC. I don't want to lose these. Thank you.

  • Windows 7 Edition Family Premium X 64 - not a game platform - garbage

    I recently updated my PC for Windows 7 Home Premium X 64 Win XP (SP3) X 32.  I had to install Windows 7 three times before it actually worked.  I tried to install all my games... Well well... the key word there is TEMPTATION.  I received a message on each of them saying they were incompatible without worrying about what compatibility mode, I ran the.  I ran all the updates that would be auto install... then who would not install because of the failed installation.  So I installed them manually.  I tried to use the MS support site and basically the conclusion I reached after reading most all validations.  Create a virtual PC running WinXP and then enjoy your games like you used to.  What is the purpose of the upgrade gawrbitz if I have to run Windows XP on a virtual PC.  I'm the only one who finds who is crazy?

    I've never had a problem using Win XP, but felt as if I wanted to use all the memory that my PC had to offer.  It was my mistake.  I am sure that this message will be considered a flame and deleted by moderators very quickly.  I'm happy to send back my Win 7 into small pieces so I could have my Win XP back.  But alas, the CD was lost in a move, so I can't yet roll back.

    System Specs: 2.30 GHz AMD Phenom Quad Core, 4Gigs Ram, 1 TB Sata HD, NVidia GeForce 9500GT

    I knew the Adviser and he ran long before I even considered buying.  After execution of this I learned that my system is compatible on all levels.  After talking with many high level technicians in various companies today, they said that my problem is not a problem of Windows 7, as it is a matter of 64-bit.  My brother has many contacts at Microsoft, and I asked him to make some phone calls.  They recommended a drop down to the 32-bit Windows 7 and that should fix 90% of my problems.  Some problems with older games that were published at the time of Win95 will be variable result regarding if they will work or not.

    As has been explained to me now is that the 64-bit environment was never designed for games with games of today.  It was designed for enterprise software and works well in this environment.  Game software has not progressed to the point where 64-bit is necessary, but can happen soon.

    I know that my previous post was a bit hard and poisonous.  Thank you Jetta not whipping too.  I was just frustrated, responses and he had some predictable answers in sight.

  • Windows Vista Edition Family Premium Reload

    My WVHP crashed and he was not recoverable, despite several attempts.  I reloaded my original WXP Pro and I am trying to reload my WVHP upgrade CD.

    When I enter the product key for HP tells me that an existing version of Windows must be installed (there is the XP Pro) and, in addition, I do not get a prompt for a clean install.

    Another thing, just as a lark and see if the hard drive or the BIOS had problems I loaded Win7 temporarily, of a pure install and it worked fine.  I loaded a new installation of XP Pro on it and then tried the Vistga upgrade.  Anyone have any ideas?
