    Evaluation Copy


    I have a friend who has currently XP SP3 on his system, he is thinking about upgrading to WIN 7 but would like to try it before he buys it. Is there any place he can download an evaluation copy to try?

    TIA

    Get an install disk from anyone (preferably one he wants to use), and install it. Just don't enter a product key, and he can get up to 120 days.

    You could try the free 90 day Enterprise trial. Enterprise is identical to Ultimate except for the licensing and activation. Its an Ultimate version for corporate customers.

    Download the ISO and burn it to disk or us the USB tool to male a boot-able install from a thumb drive.

    Your friend can also take a test drive of Windows 7 - Windows 7 Test Drive — IT Pro.

    Hope he enjoys it!

    Thanks Cassandra I have been onto him for ages to move on from XP, Although I know he will dual boot the same as I do as he and I have specific music programs that will not work under Win 7-64 and he wants to upgrade to 64 bit to get the most out of his system.
