upgrade from vista
OK, I just got a brand new HP from Frontier with 7 home prem on it. Since it's HDD was small (230gb) and I don't want to reinstall the gazzillion programs I have I used Acronis to dupe my current vista's drive to a brand new 500gig. Because I'm not playing around with my one and only I'm trying to find out what I can do to update vista to the win7 version that came with the new laptop.
Now the stupid HP recovery disk maker never did work from the original 230gig and I have a recovery set coming. I have my doubts if recovery disk set will update my duped Vista Home Prem to seven home prem. I get the feeling if I had a Home Premium 32bit ISO it might work but all I have on hand is a seven Professional disk which didn't work.
Does anyone know where I can download a SAFE win7 home ISO update with?
Alternatively I thought I read somewhere if you removed a file from the install disk it would allow you to pick between Home or a Professional update.
