One for Windows Experts - Windows 7 Upgrade £34.08

[Dedworth]

hi dedworth, my daughter uses a site for these things , her working in nusery schools, i dont know if its the same one but programs are much cheaper than the high street,
i didnt buy through this, but i did pre order the full w7, before it was released ,at about £30 ish, i previously had vista,
w7 was such a great improvment to reliabilty and speed, compared to vista, vista should never had been released, and i think in compensation and to be fair all vista users should have got w7 free of charge

Hi Imagine

I got a new desktop in Sept and thats Windows 7 like you say much better than Vista, sons Desktop came with pre-installed Vista it crashed, recovery disks no good and manufacturer had gone bust so we got it going with a Vista disk from his school. I bought Office 2010 from Software 4 Students. That £30 of yours sounds like a top deal. Cheers

hi Dedworth, lucky you managed to use the schools disk , is this the one your looking to upgrade to w7,
i installed i explore 9 (for w7) last night, much leaner and faster, a little different to use but so far seems good,
had a scare though after i installed it, i remembered there was a pending update so i installed the update, and lost use of my internet explore and firefox,,,, i figured it had been an update for i explore 8, which messed up my comp, so fingers crossed i ran restore point recovery and all seems well again

I was thinking of upgrading my laptop and son's desktop (I've got to check on what version his Vista is) but on thinking that it's going to cost £90 for the 2, would need a clean install and the fact that they're both going along OK I'll probably leave it for the time being. I use Firefox & keep clear of IE only using it for the odd few sites that seem to want it.

We got vista, windows 7 and XP running on laptops in the household at present if on the latest updates and "tuned" to your needs all are very decent software imho

Likewise, I use 3 laptops or PC's with 3 different OS's at home for different purposes. No problems with any of them, other than the Vista Pro laptop prefers Firefox to IE. The Win 7 laptop is stable with IE8 and I've never had any problems with it. I don't go on line with the XP machine which is around 6 years old now, I can't think I've ever had a problem with it, but I only use it as a digital studio for my synths and sequencing/audio production software
