  • I just tried this "hack" and it didn't work. I wanted to upgrade from W7 home premium to W7 ultimate. When I edited cversion.ini and saved it and booted it I got an error that I can't upgrade. It says I have to go use Windows anytime upgrade. Sad..

  • So, if I change the stuff with the version, for example Ultimate to Professional, if you change that, will your windows actually change?

  • Hello I want to upgrade my windows 7 home to ultimate, but if i do it like part 2 of your video will i lose all my files and folders like basically whatever is on my desktop like downloads and softwares? if i do then is there a way to keep them?

  • @tarubinap you wont lose files if you choose Upgrade instead of Custom in the installation. HOWEVER, this is ALWAYS the biggest causes of OS instability, and a lot of times the OS become basically unusable since its so unstable. It's really not worth it, and its better to just wipe out any reinstall. Upgrade installs can take several hours while wiping everything takes 20-30 minutes

  • @bvestationfan not if you have a 2TB hard drive....

  • I own Mac :( but I'm getting a virtual windows 7 enterprise :)

  • if i have xp and i want to upgrade to vista do i have to pay?

  • @dawb751 Nope, because you're not going to downgrade to Vista.

  • @FloobenShnooben downgrade to vista? i thought vista came after xp?

    if so but what if i want to upgrade to win7 do i need to pay then?

  • @dawb751 I said downgrade because Vista flat out sucks. Yes, you are going to have to pay, unless you pirate Windows 7, and have a blank DVD.

  • @FloobenShnooben oh well i dont know how to ANY of that lol. thanks though

  • 2:04 There's no such thing as Windows XP Ultimate you dumbass, theres only Home Edition, Profressional Edition, and Media Center Edition

  • Cold not he go to jail because of this?

    I am just saying, this is a slap in M$ face.

  • @GloveMC Actually what he is showing is your pure consumer rights, the ones that are suppose to go to jail are this gigantic company that always want to make more and more money by obligating you to upgrade to an expensive OS when doing this tutorial you can easily upgrade to a less expensive one

  • @manuel0689 Maybe, but MS makes a good work, just a little expensive. That is why we have hacks and stuff. :)

  • is there anyway to downgrade windows 7 to xp? or vista to xp? please reply

  • @mrawoodcock No, but you can boot to the XP cd and wipe your drive and then install it. Be sure to backup your files first. IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD AT LEAST 3 YEARS OF COMPUTER DO NOT ATTEMPT. Look online for tutorials (hope you have a link scanner) (avg has a free one) also ask on online services on how to do this eg yahoo answers (YouTube does not allow posting of links)

  • Comment removed

  • Hello Mr. Gigafide, could you plz tell me where you can get that awesome desktop background at 1:18

    Thanks!

  • @Mharrison95 it's a win 7 wallpaper

  • @Mharrison95

    Well it came with windows 7 wallpapers so you need W7

  • I Like your video intros :-)

    could you have a tutorial to make 1 like yours ?

  • What if you have Vista Home Premium? What number would you input?

  • Thank you so much I had over 480 gigabytes of games on my computer and never had the time to do a clean install of windows 7 to upgrade to windows 7 professional from vista ultimate thanks to this video I didn't have to reinstall 75 different games and it worked flawlessly thank you so much this is a vital tutorial that everyone should know, only if microsoft themselves were as helpful and resourceful as you. Thank you so much for everything.

  • you have the best videos!!!!!!!!!

  • the background he uses comes with/in Windows 7

  • yes it does i just got a hp with windows 7

  • Can you send the background to me? :D Please

  • i could try

  • but what if i have vista home primue 32 bit and want to upgrade to vista ultimate 64 bit

  • @ducksoup2007 You can't upgrade from a 32-bit OS to a 64-bit OS, you'll have to do a clean install. Just get a cheap external HD and backup important stuff on there.

  • already did that and i got windows 7 so far not inpressed its not xp and having a issue with some of my games do you have any idea why

  • If you have the professional version or better, you can emulate xp mode. Some games aren't compatible with Windows Vista or 7 (they were designed exactly the same), so if you run them in Windows xp mode, they have a much better chance of working.

  • Cool :) I love your desktop background, where can i get it? ;D

  • Thanks for the tips! You Rock Giga!!

  • why do all of your videos take so long to load?

    the have like stop cookies or something

  • On my AMDX2,2GbRAM, and1024Kbps connections they load just fine. May be there is a problem with your connection. Have a nice day =)

  • I dunno it just seams to be these videos, all of the other (mostly) content on youtube runs a bit faster. I was thinking it might have been something he added to the video.

  • rofl u have i have the same pc xD .. AMDX2,2gb ram and a 1024kbps connection lol

  • WTF, good job. IMA gonna subscribe.

  • dude i do not hav Edition id so what should i do? can u tel me quick?

  • can you do this with the free upgrade from vista?

  • Will Microsoft let you update on their sit or block you? I guess my question is WHY did Microsoft do this? And is this "legal"?

    I wounder if Microsoft will lock you out of updates?

  • Well done, thanks.

  • plaaaaaarm!

  • excellent hack thx

  • excellent hacks. nice.

  • Great video as always keep it up

  • did not work for me.

    Changed regedit for currentversion from Business to home and tried from upgrade DVD, still met with "no you cannot". not sure if I am still required to copy the entire image to harddrive and change the cversion aswell. Any help?

  • To answer my own question,

    Changed EditionId to HomePremium

    and ProductId to "Windows Vista tm Home Premium" Notice the space between Home and Premium in productId.

    This worked! and installation and activation went fine with windows 7.

  • silly question: I have Resident evil 5, Witcher, DMC4 and Grid installed on my XP, but I want to upgrade to W7 ..is it possible that the registry would remain intact so I can play them *after* the upgrade? (I think it's a slim chance...but it can't hurt to ask...)

  • awesome.

  • WTF... If I can upgrade from RC to 7 then I wasted my money...

  • yea :/

  • thank you for sharing this with us,mate.nice one!

  • that was a very nice video i love it nice ideas wow very good

  • Can you do a clean install of 7 if you only buy the upgraded version?

  • yes you can... google it up...

  • i know this question has nothing to do with the video. but what video editor do u use to do the cool text flying into the screen and the screen captures in idividual frames on the screen. sorry if that didnt make sence

  • your great friend
