Windows 7 from OcUK- is it an Upgrade version?

StarSolitude · 14 Oct 2009 at 18:03

I noticed on another website that they're selling Windows 7 for about £80- UPGRADE VERSION. It said in the minimum requirements that you need Vista.

This made me worry.

Is http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SW-124-MS (Windows 7 from OCuk) also an upgrade version? It's even less money too, so I think it is.

I don't want an upgrade version because I will install this on a new hard-drive. I need a FULL version.

Can anyone clear this up?

The one you quoted is a full retail edition so it's not an upgrade

If it's an upgrade version, it'll say so in the name.

Bloody Royal Mail... what a joke. Anyway, I find updating quite fun actually! There is just something nice about getting the latest updates...

Am I right in thinking that the OCuk windows home premium is both 32 and 64 bit and you get to chose which one you want to install? So the product key will work for both versions?

bifday2k · 17 Oct 2009 at 01:37

Yep the retial verions comes with both on the disk, and the key works for both, u just decide when installing which one u want.

Windows 7 as far as I am aware will be shipped RM as courier is only used for items over a certain value or are heavy.

If thats the case then will it be shipped early to avoid the strike.

I don't work for OcUK, but I doubt it as the agreement with MS will not allow it.
