Upgrade Cd To Windows 7, I Have A Few Questions?
1. Will there be any risk upgrading from windows vista? I heard there was a risk with windows xp to windows vista before?
2. Does a upgrade CD have limitations? I mean like can it be used for a reinstall like with a regular cd bought from the store? Or will it only work if vista or xp is installed?
3. Some computers have a recovery partitions that are made by the manufacturer? Will it also upgrade that as well since the cd is coming with from the manufacturer of the computer?
4. Will the cd contain all the software bundle that came with my computer? Will it be designed for my pc so whatever the manufacturer put in there with vista stays with 7?
Thanks for answering in advance!

1. No not really the problem was that most devices and software wouldn’t work in vista yet that’s why they did the service pack 1 and now 2 and with windows 7 there isn’t any problem since it also has compatible mood with windows xp programs. So no their won’t be any problems.
2. No the disc doesn’t right now, but when bought from the store it will you will only be able to use it on 3 computers.
3. No since the partion is drive d but your only going to change partion c so there won’t be any trouble on that.
4. No it won’t it will have some program that microsoft put on it, but not the manufactures like any other program you will have to download or install in that way. And yes an operating system is for any computer that can handle it doesn’t matter who put it together.
Take a look at the Windows 7 FAQ page from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/buy/off…

1. Not really. Personally, I prefer a clean upgrade, as it’s a good way of clear of any stuff on your computer you don’t actually use/need.
2. If the Windows 7 upgrade is like previous versions, as long as you have a install disc of an earlier version, it can be used on a PC without Windows already installed.
3. Doubt it. The recovery partition is the manufacturer’s area, not Microsoft’s.
4. If you mean things like trial versions of anti-virus programs, or office suites, then no. The Windows install disc will only install the bare operating systems.
All this is assuming you’re using a standard Windows upgrade DVD. If you’ve purchased a machine recently, or are thinking of buying, and you’ve been promised a Windows 7 upgrade, then that will depend on the manufacturer. Some might give you a brand new recovery disc, or just a regular upgrade DVD, you’ll have to check with them as to what they’re going to do.
