Upgrade Question
Hi All
I searched but didn't find anything. Hopefully someone can tell me this.
I have an upgrade for 7 ultimate 64bit, which I have used on my desktop. From memory, I put the serial in after the install - so given that...
My girlfriend has just bought a HP laptop that is eligible for the free upgrade to 7, running Vista home Premium 32bit (note my dvd is 64bit). Rather than me paying $20USD to have the upgrade disc delivered, can I use my disc to install, then just use her vista serial to register? Or do I need a 7 serial, so I have to wait for the disc to arrive?
I read that you can change files on the disc so I install the correct version of 7 to make sure it is all legal...
Just trying to save $20USD and the time it takes to deliever. It's a bit of a shame to get a new laptop, then use it a month, get it all working how you like it, then upgrade...
I want to ensure at the end of the day it is legal. I don't want to end up with an unusable copy.
Cheers
Chris
