[MrIkewitherspoon]

can vista home basic upgrade to 7 starter or premium?

[Radioactiveification]

I see it right? Windows 7 Intallation in the Video? *FAIL*

[zapper067]

You should get windows embedded posready 7 or thin pc,because you can disable ctrl-alt-delete to prank your friends!

[KidzCount2]

Do you have to contact your ISP to upgrade?

[XxSHANE99xX]

Does it come with an installation book or some thing?

[GamerzUtube]

when i got my windows 7 i only got the 32 bit version. and thank god i did

[blackMark001]

just buy private windows 7 Ultimate ..

save more money

[jai554]

did i need to use new key?

[CarlsonsRaiders]

In the box does it include both 32 and 64 disc?

[bowlestrek]

@CarlsonsRaiders It includes both versions

[xXShadowKillSonicXx]

@bowlestrek So this means if I get Windows 7, I have both 32 and 64 bit separated disks or are they 2 in 1? Anyway, is Windows 7 better than Windows Vista? I don't wanna be getting this as a present if its crap.

[lucixlr8]

@bowlestrek wich is better 32 bit or 64 bit?

[djdecca]

@bowlestrek do you have 2 product keys than if they include both 32 and 64bit or does 1 product key work??

[Windows8fanman]

Yes that was chesy

[CheeseToasties]

Nice vid :) u sound like Earnie from Sesame Street no offence tho wers part 2?

[megamillion12345]

you wanna know just how much of a piece of shit of an operating system vista really is? i CANT get 7 cuz vista cant detect my FUCKING OPTICAL DRIVE

[bowlestrek]

Sorry to hear about that :( If it makes you feel any better the computer that I was using in this video blew up a month ago, now I'm temporarily stuck with a refurbished pc that's running Vista.

[davidc147]

@megamillion12345 That sounds more like the drive is disconnected. Vista won't need a special driver to recognise the drive. Does the drive show up in the Bios and not in Vista?

[megamillion12345]

neither. i once tried taking the whole drive out and putting it back in. doest matter anymore anyway, that laptop just had its screen and video card physically destroyed and got myself a new windows 7 pc. best moment of my life :D

[TheGonzalezvalle]

@megamillion12345 don`t worry samething to my computer and i upgrade it to a 7 and works alot better

[boomshackalacka321]

64 bit pwn 32 bit !

[acendero]

ok i have a question, u got the 32 bit and the 64 bit upgrades on the video, does the same serial key works for both??? or u got 2 different keys???? thanks for taking the time... cheers

[FlightSimHero]

It only comes with one key, but 2 CDs because some people have more than 3GB of RAM so they need the x64 install.

[gabywhite1]

how many minutes take to install windows 7 in hp laptop?

[LittleJacobNL]

@ Gabywhite1

About half hour i think.

[NoKiddingMan]

My HP notebook came with Vista home premium. Then I realized that it is so slow, and now I have to buy an upgrade. Windows Vista is a failure, and we end up paying for Microsoft's failure. Upgrade to Windows vista should be free of charge. This is an unfortunate situation.

[alex14469]

my hard drive failed so my OS is gone but I bought another hard drive but its blank, can I still use the upgrade disk??

[Thetruehypersonic]

no you need vista on it or buy the full version

[floppy58j]

nice package

[ForNarnia987]

HELP!! i need help. The hp website gives free windows 7 products only to people who bought their comp from June 26 to October something and i am one of them but i don't know what i need for proof of purchase because i lost my reciept HELP PLZ!!!

[bowlestrek]

You should go back to where you bought your pc, usually they would keep that stuff on file and would be able to print out a new receipt for you.

[ForNarnia987]

tnx i'll try to do that

[acidius]

if you are currently running a 32 bit version of vista would it be possible to do a clean install and upgrade to a 64 bit version of windows 7?

[bowlestrek]

Yes, as far as I know as long as your computer suports 64 bit. The upgrade wizard should let you know if there's a problem.

[Airportchris2]

I installed Windows Vista just as smoothly as Windows 7, not one problem, and my system is a Pentium 4.

[bowlestrek]

At the time I had a system with a ton of programs that wouldn't work with Vista, my computer got stuck in a reboot cycle. This upgrade was pretty smooth though, probably the easiest Windows upgrade since 3.1 to 95 actually.

[Airportchris2]

Well, I ran the Vista Upgrade Advisor before I upgraded, and I only one possible software problem, but it was solved right after upgrade, same thing with Windows 7.

[bowlestrek]

I fixed the problems that the adviser found, something got missed, never was able to find out what it was. Computer blew up two years ago, guess I'll never know now, I'm just glad this upgrade went without incident

[Airportchris2]

awesome.

I can't wait for the rest of the video series on your upgrade.

[Airportchris2]

Well, MS makes different versions for different people, so you don't get anything you don't want, unlike Apple, you get it all whether you need or want it, why I use Windows, as Apple's OS comes with a lot I really wouldn't use.

[bowlestrek]

The feature I wish was included in all versions is Windows XP Mode

[Airportchris2]

Well, all XP mode is a VM, which can be easily done with VirtualBox, but XP Mode/Virtual PC requires CPU hardware acceleration, which most CPU's don't have, you can enable it in VirtualBox as well, it's not a must like XP Mode.

[bowlestrek]

I prefer VMWare fusion myself, but VirtualBox is ok too. I lost my legal full version of xp pro years ago. It was the included xp license that I liked. But I agree, it would not have worked until I bought my next pc, but it would have been nice to have with home premium.

[Airportchris2]

I saw how big the VMware software download was, and I was like wow.

Yea, maybe they might expand it eventually.

[Airportchris2]

You'll love Windows 7, I been using the RTM for about a month now.
