Windows 7 Ultimate retail // Windows 7 build 7264 x64, Vista Home Premium SP2 x64
|
It hasn't been officially released for sale in any country yet, if thats what you mean. It is going to be released in the U.S. on October 22. Though we can pre-order in the U.S., but I'm not sure about any other countries

So does this mean the upgrade is out? How can I got hold of it in South Africa. MS website only allows for shipping to the US.
Edit: Ignore my post, only refreshed the browser an hour later. Didn't see the answers were already there. Apologies.... ![]() |

I am using Win7 RC Build 7100 as my only OS. I own the retail version of Vista Home Premium 32 bit OS. I have also just purchased the upgrade disk. Reading the above posts I believe I understand how to clean install the upgrade disk. I've noticed that the upgrade apparently comes with both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions. If this is correct, when I do my install, will I be able to choose which version I want (hopefully the 64 bit version) even though I have had only the 32 bit OS. I have tried the RC 64 bit version and it works with no problem.

TO OP: If you want to save time, also a TESTED method: U can modify your section 2, change the upgrade part to clean install... THATS IT... Windows will STILL ACTIVATE AS LONG as you PUT your key when running the setup from WINDOWS 7. BUT IF YOU PUT YOUR KEY WHEN BOOT FROM DVD, it won't work...

Thanks for the help. My Vista Home Premium disk indicates 32 bit only (only one disk in box).
Looking forward to October to get the final version. |

You are basically explaining the same method that, if one were running vista, pop in the disk while running Vista, and choose clean install, only you are saying do it from within 7 instead of choosing upgrade from the newly installed 7? Am I understanding you correctly? I thought had already stated that method
WHAT I WOULD DO IF my country had the 50$ offer: 1. Install Windows 7 without key. 2. Also uncheck activate online. 3. Once Windows 7 installed (30 day trial),BOOT IT then run the autorun from Windows 7 DVD... 4. Put your Upgrade key. 5. Select Clean Install (It will still work) [not upgrade]. 6. WAIT. 7. Once all is done. ACTIVATE! |
