How to Install Windows 7 Ultimate on a laptop with Windows Home Basic
Please help, My friend Wants to Buy Windows 7 Ultimate but first wants to try the 30-day trial version. He's using an HP laptop with Windows Home Basic 64-bit OS. He is wondering how to do this so in turn I am asking you guys out here right now. Does it need a clean install? He already downloaded a retail dvd for the Windows 7 Ultimate OS ISO. Also one of his concerns is that there is an image backup of his OS with the system factory settings, we're both wondering if it would still be accessible (it's on a different hdd partition) once he successfully installs the Ultimate OS.
He's doing this at first, and then he's planning to try out Windows 7 Professional next and then decide which to Buy to replace his original OS.
We'd really appreciate any feedback about this.
