SpartanIV posted:I'm running a legal copy of Vista Ultimate Retail and I heard if I buy an upgrade for Vista, the upgrade will give you the same version as your Vista. So if you were upgrading Vista Home Premium you would get 7 Home Premium, Vista Business = 7 Professional, and Vista Ultimate = 7 Ultimate. So if I buy the 7 Pro upgrade from Win741.com, will it upgrade my Vista Ultimate to 7 Ultimate or will it only upgrade to 7 Professional?

Amazon failed to deliver it to me on release day, so they refunded my shipping (which was free anyway) and gave me a $10 gift certificate. I wasn't going to complain, because what's one more day of waiting to activate the RTM copy I've been running for 3 months? But hey, thanks for the $10 Amazon!

LastCaress posted:I have a legal windows 7 in my desktop and have purchased a windows 7 upgrade for my laptop from toshiba, but it's taking forever (they're mailing the cd) - can I use the key I'm using in my desktop in my laptop and then when the key arrives for the laptop update the key? (From a technical point of view, because I'd assume it isn't 100% legal, even though I don't think it's really wrong to do this)

spanky the dolphin posted:I bought a new computer a month or so ago, and while I thought I'd be getting 64bit Windows 7 I was actually given 32. I only have 4gigs of ram so I'm not missing out on a lot of potential memory but I was wondering what the process would be if I ever wanted to upgrade to 64. I don't imagine it'd just install over the top but I'd love to be wrong to avoid all the installations and customisations etc I have done.

Is it the same system or a different one than it was first activated on? If it's the same, no you shouldn't have to pay.

Imapanda posted:The game is Crysis. I did a little google search and it seems this guy on toms hardware had the same issue and that 'enabling directx 9' increased framerate by a lot. I remember back then when I had Windows XP the FPS was beyond comfortable, but ever since getting Windows 7 games have been really choppy.

Microsoft will usually transfer the license with a phone call. They're really only concerned that it's installed on one machine at a time.

Xenomorph posted:AVG or Avast are the only free ones I'd recommend. AVG version 9 and Avast version 5 are great.  It's got a minimal footprint, it updates itself without requiring babysitting, and the only time I've ever noticed it was when I plugged in a buddy's flash drive with a virus on it. That's about all I ask for from my antivirus.
