Windows 7 Home premium to ultimate upgrade

Hello

recently, I bought Y560 with 64-bit Windows 7 home premium (with i7 & 8 GB of RAM).

I was told that in order to better use the resource that the laptop has been it is better to go for Windows 7 Ultimate.

Is this true? It is worth the upgrade to Ultimate?

Thanks for the tips.

Hi Joel,.

It's hard to say. It depends on whether or not you need/want the extra features included in Ultimate. You can find a comparison between Ultimate and Home Premium using the link below. Also remember there are alternatives to these features if you miss one of them it could be cheaper and better to find another application to perform this task alone. It might even be available freeware that can do the same thing.

If you do not miss the extra features, I would say that it is not worth to spend money on an upgrade to Ultimate.

  • Change color of Partition Image factory after that Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit upgrade

    I bought the package of Microsoft Family Pack Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit upgrade. I upgraded my HP Pavilion m9525f without problem. However, when I upgraded HP Pavilion Media Center m8547c PC my work wife I noticed that the partition image factory had changed from blue to red. His computer is now slower that it was running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit years she gets blockages requiring restarts.

    I have installed all the software HP upgrade to his computer and deleted all unnecessary programs, run the cleaning program in Accessories, defragmented the drive and ran sfc/scannow, who finds no problems with its operating system files.

    There is a serious problem, indicated by the change of color of partition to factory?

    Hello Archquark, you can delete the partition D: HP Recovery restore and recover this disk capacity.

    If you have the game to restore HP Recovery disk, which you should have done when you've got the system, you can still use them to restore the system back as it was when shipped from HP.

    I, personally, to remove these partitions recovery, because as you said, that they are usually outdated very soon after you get the system, but I wouldn't recommend others that under normal circumstances.

    I don't know why a temp. file was created in your D: Recovery partition.

    Windows 7 installation can be linked to the Vista install, and you will need to have Vista installed in order to perform the upgrade to Windows 7 If you have in the future.

    There are a few different methods that Microsoft and HP use to upgrade to Windows 7.

    I got a system until Windows 7 came out, but with a free Windows 7 upgrade when it was released. I got the Windows 7 upgrade disc and he ran like an upgrade. Later, I had to change the hard drive without an operating system installed and was able to perform a new installation with the provided HP Windows 7 upgrade disk.

    Appears to be a tossup. If you decide to delete the D: Recovery partition, you probably that in the Windows 7 Control Panel Setup, administrative tools, computer management, storage, management records.

    When you get there, just select the D: Recovery partition and select this option to delete the volume.

    Then select the C: partition and choose the volume and it should expand the C: partition to include the ability to partition D: previous.

    # Anytime Upgrade is specific edition.  If Home Premium was the original OS on the computer and then restore it and then use the HP upgrade last month to THE or buy a professional for the last update.

  • Satellite A200 - Vista Home Premium to ultimate upgrade

    Hi back from the guy with a new query.

    "" I'm looking to upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate... checked the requirements of what is known on the "Windows anytime upgrade" site and I can you there is a lot of conflicting ideas on how its all done up to the fact that I would need a disc to upgrade mailed to me.

    After reading a few other forums recently, the answer lies in what you guys can or perhaps are not able to advise me... and the question is:

    Only the so-called "rescue disk" provided with the purchase, IE the Windows operating system disk... ALL CONTAIN THE ' VISTA "SYSTEMS AVAILABLE..." Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate? and very unlikely, but she coded upgrade or anything like that, as its meant to be to perform upgrades?

    Thanks a lot again in anticipation of your kind comments

    Andrew.

    Firs of all I think you should know that it is a forum for users and to my knowledge, there is no guy from Toshiba which could provide instructions.
    I know, it's, your Toshiba Recovery DVD contains the same Win Vista that was preinstalled on your laptop.
    It seems that you bought this laptop with Vista Home Premium and this operating system should be placed on the recovery media.

    Please DON t mix the Toshiba Recovery DVD with a DVD of new, original and clean Microsoft Vista.
    Toshiba Recovery contains an image include the OS, drivers, tools and additional software.
    It s already active.

    The MS Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista but to use a version of Vista that a right serial key must be inserted.

    Hope I could make a clarification.
