Upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 (In-Place Upgrade Installation) Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 (Custom Installation) What's the difference between full and upgrade versions of Windows 7?

The Windows 7 installation will detect the qualifying version on the drive and this information is saved to RAM, until the install is finished. The correct procedure is to boot from the Windows 7 installation disk, select Custom (clean) install and select the drive where Vista or XP is installed. An upgrade version will only work if you install on the drive where the qualifying version of Windows is installed, even when you are performing a clean install. Hi Matt The problem is that you installed an Upgrade version of Windows 7 on a blank hard drive. I thought as this was a Microsoft site someone may be able to shed some light on this issue. I understand there are 'workarounds' by reinstalling Windows 7 as an upgrade, but I refuse to do this as well - this product should just be working, but Digital River and Microsoft both refuse to acknowledge it. The help on the Digital River page regarding 0xC004F061 forwards you to Microsoft, and they ask me for £50 for a phonecall or email. Whenever I mention 'product key' they just immediately assume i've forgotten it, so keep sending the original. I have been emailing Digital River ad infinitum to consistently dumb responses, each from someone different and never answering my query. Having now installed this onto a clean HDD, when I try to activate Windows, it tells me I have the incorrect Product Key as it is for an upgrade, not a clean install. However, they did not supply me with a new product key.

After emailing them, they sent me an ISO file for the full version to upgrade to 64bit. Initially, Digital River provided me with an 'upgrade' to Windows 7 Professional 64bit, an install which would have been impossible to do from within a 32bit installation. I thought it was a good opportunity to finally make the most of my 64bit processor and subsequently be able to use more RAM. I decided to take advantage of the Ultimate Steal, and get Windows 7 for £30.

For information about migrating to Windows 7 64 bit from 32 bit Windows, check out the following article I wrote:
Also, if youĭecide to move to Windows 7 64 bit in the future, there is no upgrade path from 32 bit Windows, clean install only. Also, there is no 16 bit subsystem in Windows 7 64 bit, which means, your applications must be 32 bit only, not 16 bit installer or uninstallers.

Because the memoryĪddress space is much larger for 64 bit Windows, that means, you need twice as much memory than 32 bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task.Īs for compatibility, you will need 64 bit device drivers for any hardware devices you might have. Windows 7 32 bit can utilize up to 3.2 GBs of RAM and you are right within that range.
Windows 7 64 bit comes in handy when you need to address at least 4 GBs or more of RAM. As for a description of the media, I don't know at this time.Īs for your system, I suggest you stick with Windows 7 32 bit. Well, the student upgrade actually a full retail license that has been discounted. What kind of issues are we talking about? I'd like to be able to run all the latest games, do some multitasking, e-mail, video and mp3, picture editing, etc.

Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB HDĪlso, I've been hearing about driver compatibility issues with 64-bit operating systems. It comes to 64-bit, and I don't want to purchase something I will later regret.
I would really appreciate it, as I am really green when If you would, glance over my system specifications below and tell me whether I would benefit from 64-bit more than 32-bit. Do they send the retail Windows 7 box and genuine DVD's or just OEM media with Windows 7 burned onto it? I've never done this before and I couldn'tįind the answer so I figured I'd post here.Īlso, I'm very worried about the jump to 64-bit, since I have always used 32-bit. I would like to pre-order windows 7 pro 64-bit (student version) and I have a question regarding the backup DVD's.
