Upgrade To Windows 7 Now

If your still using the Windows XP or Windows 7 RC  (time is running out for the RC – release candidate) you might want to be thinking about installing your Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade that you preordered back in the summer of 2009 for $49. Didn’t catch that deal? I’m sorry.

There are several methods for upgrading. If you’re current using Windows Vista then the upgrade path is obvious. First make a backup of all of your data. While your computer is ON put in the Windows 7 disk. A setup screen will start. Just follow the prompts. Do not install the new OS over the vista install. You’ll want to start over with a clean install. After install is complete get all of the update then activate your Win7 installation. This is the easiest install. If your installing from Windows XP, Windows 7 RC or from a clean hard-drive gets more complicated. Here’s instructions from Paul Thurrott’s Supersite for Windows.

As you may know there is a new version of Windows (Windows 7) coming out October 22. What you don’t know is there are already books on the subject. One of these is Windows 7 Secrets by Paul Thurrott (co-host of the Windows Weekly poadcast on the TWIT network and creator of the Supersite for Windows). Windows 7 Secrets is one thousand pages of instruction, tip, tricks and (Can you believe it?) secrets. This is a great book for anyone that wants to learn all they can about Windows 7 or anyone who just needs a quick reference book.

It has been reported by ZDNet and Computer World that a multi-licence of Windows 7 upgrade will be available. It can be installed on 3 computers and will cost between $135 and $159.

What Microsoft is doing with Windows 7 is great. The OS is terrific! These deals are good! MS just seems to be heading the right direction. Now if we could just get rid of the crazy activation process.

Windows 7 Pricing

by mark
April 27th, 2009

I’ve heard many rumors about the pricing of the new Window 7 operating system. (Should be released in the fall.) Rumored is anywhere from $49.99 for an upgrade from Windows Vista only and upgrade from XP for $99 which I believe is a fair price. (I believe the price will not be that low.) I have not heard much about non-upgrades till today. ARS Technica has reported that the rumored price for non-upgrades will be $259 for Windows 7 Home Premium. I consider this to be an extraordinary blunder. I may be forced to buy the upgrade because I have so many customers and friends that use Windows but I will continue my campaign for them to use Linux (Ubuntu).
