Windows 7 Upgrade From Hp Received!

received my windows 7 Premium CD from HP today!!!!!!


package



Inside



Instructions
2 CDS
1 HP upgrade cd
1 Windows 7 64bit OPERATING SYSTEM DISC


SURPRISE!

Your VISTA KEY is different from your WINDOWS 7 KEY! i just checked mine to be sure.

 

So; did you happen to get a sticker for Windows 7 with it? :3

 

Nope I received it too and there's no sticker/decal/badge of windows 7. You only get 2 DVD's in 1 sleeve pouch with the Product Key on it. Also, comes with instructions of some sort.

 

Well isn't that just a failure.

You'd think they'd give a more classier case too.

 

yeah no sticker and i was thinking it would come in a jewel case. guess not

 

A whole new operating system independent of your laptop's previous operating system's serial key? If this Windows 7 isn't tied to your laptop's serial number, what's stopping people from installing it on other desktops and laptops or selling it?

 

thanks for posting pics! ive been waiting for them

 

So theres not both 32bit & 64bit on the upgrade disc correct?
Was hoping there might be
Has anyone requested an upgrade disc for a 32bit OS & got both?

 

HP says that for a 32bit version of Win Vista Home Premium you will receive a 32bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium :-(

This is the reason because I downloaded a new version of 64bit Windows 7 Professional directly from MSDNAA (thanks to University of Rome) and I installed it without making an upgrade from Windows Vista. (32bit and 64bit OS are not compatible for an upgrade)

 

Hi, Yeah i know HP were saying that for 32bit you get 32 bit copy & for 64 you get 64.
Was hoping they just weren't mentioning that 64 still came on the same pack so i could have dropped 32 and moved to 64

 

you can download x64 from the link in my sig and use the key hp gives you

 

what was in the HP upgrade manager dvd ? Does it contain drivers for your notebook ? If it does can i install drivers from it after a clean win 7 install?
thankx in advance...

(ordered an upgrade kit. payment and proof of purchase was successful. still waiting for the tracking ID)

 

these dvd's look horrendous. looks like they came off of a 100 DVD duplicator in some dudes basement... =/

 

Hi all;

I just got my "Free" upgrade little pack for my new HP Mini 2140 (Renew model) and certanly a bit disappointed. For the big price (of 39,90€ I got just one DVD and the manual.
There were also delays in delivering (but it was due to New year holidays) so not a big deal.
What I found disappointing is that they do send just a poor paper pack, not a full package as Sony do for example. And the price for it is extremly high for the product that supposed to be free and delivery goes within Europe; from Germany to Croatia!?
I'll do the upgrade, actually - a fresh instalation if possible. Note on disc says "For use only as an Upgrade ..." ? So not sure what they did mean by that?
Here are some shots of the expensive "package"
