• Have not corrected to Vista by chance Free Upgrade Windows 7, Windows 7 disc.

  have not had a single problem for a set of 4 years on Windows 7.

  Already in 2010, upgrading to Windows 7 from Vista because my Asus G51vx qualified for the free upgrade.

  I don't remember how the upgrade process was done 4 years it's long.

  Last night I decided to reformat and give my phone to my mother, (everything was going slowly and was cluttered with the data that I had already saved)

  I moved Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC that I built.

  I used Magical Jelly Bean to save my product key and information, but could not find the Vista Windows Asus recovery DVD, since I couldn't find an edition of Windows 7, I guess that's how you have to reformat; Back to Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7.

  Now I'm stuck in Vista x 64

  How can I get back Windows 7?

  You are lucky, you still had the vista Asus recovery disc reinstall Vista, who operates a Vista.

  It was the way to reinstall Vista as the COA sticker is worn

  There is no more we can tell you.

  The key that you say is for Windows 7 works, or it doesn't.

  If that does not work, contact Asus.

  Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

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

  Is same question with versions of Microsoft office, if I have multiple versions allowed to install an earlier version on a second computer and stay legal?

  No, unfortunately not, when you upgraded to Windows 7 indeed renounce you your right to use Vista. But keep the product key and Vista media where you need to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 again.

  For MS Office (according to license as some allow multiple installations) If this older version is not in use you can install it on this computer second no questioned asked.

• 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.

  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.
