• 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.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/compare/default.aspx

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

     Note: If you use a laptop or netbook, you will be asked to connect your power adapter, make sure that the power adapter is plugged in before continuing, and then click OK.

  5. In the page to create a default disc factory select the drive you want to use for burning the recovery media, and then click Start.
  6. The disc is ejected whenever he has completed burning, if several drives are required insert a new disc when you are prompted, and then click OK.

• Windows 7 Home Premium software updates will not download?

  I run Windows 7 Home Premium on my Toshiba laptop. When you try to download the current software updates. I click on the button to start the download. The green color bar graph begins to move from left to right, showing that its in the download process, BUT the percentage meter does not turn. After 10 minutes to 15 minutes, he is still on 0%. It looks like his tent, but nothing happens. In the past its slow summer during download of new updates, but it worked. Had to stop the download.

  Anyone has a solution.

• Slow connection (10-15 seconds) for Windows 7 Home Premium administrator accounts, but not standard accounts

  I have a new computer with a new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium.
  This is a pretty fast PC with an i7 2600 and an SSD.

  When I log on to an administrator account, it takes about 10-15 seconds, however when I connect to a standard account, it takes less than a second.

  I can create a standard account, sign a bunch of times immediately, then give him admin privileges and it suddenly starts to take 10-15 seconds. He switch back to the standard, and login is immediate.

  Any ideas what may be the cause?

• Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium (Retail DVD) will not install an upgrade on Vista Home Premium (OEM factory - installed)!

  I bought a copy the retail of Windows 7 premium (updated version) upgrade on Vista Home Premium SP2on my 3 yr old HP Pavilion Desktop on 22/10/2009. Vista has been installed at the factory. The PC more than meets all hardware reqs. I tried 4 or 5 times to upgrade the operating system on this PC & it runs fine until the process to halfway in step 5 in the upgrade and stops. I forgot the exact message, but it's like 'cannot be upgraded pc, abandoned process, will now restore the Vista installation. After this x 4-5 in the last seven days, I'm sick of what's going on. I've been building & PC repair & installation, configuration, and upgrade Windows since Windows 3.1 and Dos operating system. The Win 7 installation routine is so demanding that if all the program requirements are not met (for the latter)-it just stops and is abandoned. I've never had this kind of trouble before. NEVER Yes, I use the on-line support docs & Software Advisor compatibility. I've never seen an OS that just works! Absolutely amazing!  I also tried this on my computer Lenovo laptop lastnight - same thing!

  Hi Jim,.

  Thanks for the information. You said you ran Upgrade Advisor several times on both machines. This show no error every time? Also, I would recommend unisntalling any antivirus that you have currently and to help clean up the provided utilities if any, of the antivirus manufacturer. In addition, unplug all unnecessary devices such as printer, network cable or any other devices you have.

  I hope this helps!

• Windows 7 Home premium to Ultimate Edition upgrade Question

  Hi and Hello! :),

  I just upgraded my Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium computer to Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate Edition.

  I entered the key to upgrade and all good except that now I have 54 wen optional language pack updates.

  My question is how could get rid of these permanently? I know I can hide, but they will always be there showing there are 54 optional updates as well as 6 other associated with 10 Windows that I've hidden...

  Y at - it another option to just get these off the list update instead of just 'hide' them?

  Thank you for any input!

  Steve

  Feel free to mark any reply no matter what is answered your question

  Which pretty well closes the thread you can also stop the emails if you're getting them also

  I think that option is on the original question at the bottom of it showing the emails stop or you unsubscribe?

• Why was the Windows 7 Home Premium (re) installation disc not bundled with my laptop?

  Hello world.

  I love my y560 Ideapad, it was working perfect for the first day I got it.

  I'm just a little bit concerned if, why Windows 7 reinstall drive does not appear? The key series sticker is of course still on the bottom of my laptop, so I know it's (almost) legitimate, although I don't know what to do if something bad irreparably took place in some important operating system files. Users must download Windows 7 from a network of torrent?

  Hey tgp.

  Unfortunately, they do not group the disks more. You will see a OneKey recovery on the portable utility that allows you to make your own recovery DVDs.

  -Tell the truth, the units are activated by a corporate license system. The key on the bottom of the laptop is to serve as a proof of purchase, but the Windows 7 license for the software on your laptop probably does not match it.

  In other words, you won't need the lower button with the recovery discs. If "offering you" your own discs (in my case, retail drives), use one on the bottom.
