Customer Reviews

Should have given 5 Stars!
Very simple, pay you hard earned cash, download it! This is particlarly good, if you keep loosing the software dvd etc...! Or if you have children who like speading jam over things and using them in their darling arts and crafts... oh bless...

p.s. Encase you were wondering! I don't have children.... I just loose things!

Windows back to normal. 5 stars.
Five stars to Windows7, I downloaded windows 7 as a upgrade it took hour and a half after which i was delighted with the outcome. Every programe i had on Vista was on W/ seven plus all my settings, Nothing missing everything compatable just follow the instruction and hey presto there you have it.As for the new Windows 7 download its A,ok like old times but more modern very cleverly put together,I for one am more than satisfied especially the fact it only cost me sixty four pounds ninety nine as i ordered it from Amazon at a pre/booked price in July of this year ,Now its 149.99 plus a discount as normal when you buy from Amazon.

Product description not quite clear
To clear up any confusion about this, as information in the description is not quite clear and could potentially confuse people.

In this edition version, you require Windows 7 to be already installed, the qualifying version for this is Windows 7 Starter Edition, this is only for Computers that come pre-bundled with this version.

If your looking to upgrade from XP or Vista, then you will require one of these versions instead:
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Upgrade Edition for XP or Vista users (PC DVD)(1 licence)

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack for XP or Vista users, 3 User Licence (PC DVD)(3 licences, family pack)

Both come with the 32 and 64 bit Upgrade discs.
