    How does the W7 Upgrade re-install work ?

    1) Install Windows 7 from the media. Do not enter in your product key. 2) After the install is complete, insert the Windows 7 media and run setup from the DVD. 3) This time, do not perform a clean install. You need to do an upgrade, which is the first option. 4) Activate Windows Good grief.

    BSN:"Valve to take over all PC gaming distribution"

    It's a give and take, and I would give that away in return to be able to install any game in my library at will without any media or hassle. Now they just need to get rid of the 3rd party DRM crap, they don't need it.

    How does the W7 Upgrade re-install work ?

    I haven't been here in a while and just wanted to see your input on how this works now. I tried to search for it but didn't really find the pinpointed answer. Let's say I had XP Pro activated and installed W7 Upgrade and months later I experienced a had drive crash and everything wiped. How...

    Distributed computing lost its luster.

    Will the $49 Win 7 "upgrade" work on a new HDD?

    Everything that I have explained in the past on W7 activation so far has been confirmed. It's hard to explain when there's nothing official. We can only best speculate, but here's my understanding and best guesstimate on the issue. Whether you have the full retail or the upgrade you can...

    Upgrading from Win XP (32bit) to Win 7 (64bit) - upgrade ?

    The "official" eula is not out yet but here is what I understand it to be. If you do a W7 Upgrade over an activated XP system the Microsoft WGA servers will de-activate you XP key and will then migrate your W7 Upgrade key into a full version. This newly migrated key will allow you to...

    Will the $49 Win 7 "upgrade" work on a new HDD?

    Will the $49 Win 7 "upgrade" work on a new HDD?

    VL I think that once you upgrade and migrate your XP key to the W7 key and once the WGA servers deactivates the XP key, you will be able to re-install XP with the W7 Key only and XP will also be on the W7 disk. The old XP key and media won't be valid anymore. It's all about licensing, you can...

    Please do not think that I claim to know anything about this, I just post my opinions from the numerous posts that I have read on the issue and simply offer a humble compilation of what I have read. On your first point, MS will not read Old Keys nor keep them. That's why W7 Upgrade will...

    Will the $49 Win 7 "upgrade" work on a new HDD?

    I've just read that the W7 Upgrade will come with an option to install XP but with the W7 Master Key. If you have W7 Upgrade and do an install over your existing XP it will de-activate that key. However you will then be able to do a custom install with the W7 disk to install XP with the W7...

    Will the $49 Win 7 "upgrade" work on a new HDD?

    I'm not sure you understand... What W7 is doing is actually fixing this. An upgrade is an upgrade. Once you Upgrade W7 over an existing and activated installation of Vista, XP or Win2K you do not ever need to have that previous OS installed again nor will you ever need the older OS media ever...

    Will the $49 Win 7 "upgrade" work on a new HDD?

    I've been reading way to much on this subject and here's what I understand it to be at this point. 1) You will not be able to simply insert your Vista, XP or W2K disk to authenticate the W7 Upgrade install. (that information even tough from what seems to be reliable sources is wrong" 2)...

    New SOB client

    I can't get the Linux client to work. (if the Linux client reports an error related to libcurl, try linking libcurl.so.3 to libcurl.so.4) I checked and only have the libcurl.so.4 so I'm at a total loss as to how to fix this. I have fedora7 installed.

    What's Happened to RC5

    even if you would quadruple the users from it's high, it would not have been completed in our lifetimes, it would/will have gone down as the most useless energy wasting distributed computing project of all time. but that's my opinion.
