HT3986 can I use the windows 7 UPGRADE version for this?

I'm thinking about installing Windows 7 to use with Boot Camp .... can I use an Upgrade version of Windows?

As the hatter said, you CAN use the Upgrade version of Windows 7. Here's more details:
Install Windows 7 normally, using Boot Camp and your Win 7 Upgrade disk. Use the "Custom (Advanced)" option.
When it asks you to enter your product key / license, don't enter anything -- just hit Next. This will allow you to continue installing Windows with a 30-day trial.
After you've installed Windows 7, stay in Windows (don't boot to OSX) and put your Win 7 Upgrade disk back in the drive, and run the Setup file that's on the disk.
This will guide you through the upgrade process. This time, instead of Custom, use the "Upgrade" option.
When it asks you, go ahead and type in your product key, and choose to Activate.
However, please note that if you do this, and you DON'T already own a previous version of Windows (and stop using that previous version immediately), you'll be violating the software license agreement. These are the requirements to use the Upgrade version. If you don't meet these requirements, I strongly recommend you install with a full version of Windows 7.

  • I want to install Windows 7 in bootcamp on my imac with Lion 10.7, but only have a Windows 7 upgrade disk.  I also have a full Vista.  Can I install in bootcamp using the Windows 7 upgrade disk?  If so, what do I need to know about how?

    Hi,
    I want to install Windows 7 on my imac in bootcamp.  I have a windows 7 upgrade disk and a full vista disk.  Normally on a PC I would install Vista, then upgrade to Windows 7.  I see that bootcamp 4 only supports Windows 7.
    Can I install the Windows 7 upgrade disk without first installing Vista?  Will this work in bootcamp?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
    Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.

    It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer.  How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

    In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
    Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

  • Can I use the Window XP bundled with MS virtual PC in setting up boot camp?

    Hi hi,
    before having the new 24" iMac, I have MS office professional for Mac running on my 17" G5 iMac it. The bundle pack contains Window xp professional software running on Virtual pc program.
    I want to install boot camp on my new intel mac but can i use the window xp program which is bundled with MS virtual pc software for setting up boot camp?
    please advise.
    iMac 24"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Technically, so long as your bundled version is XP with service pack 2 then you should be able to use it.
    Legally, no. When Windows comes with a PC, even a virtual PC, it's license is for an OEM installation. While it's still functionally the same as a copy you'd buy in the store its license is for use only with that PC it came with and no others.
    Hope this helps! bill

    I want to record a podcast using my Mackie mixer and have the mix sent to Garageband through the USB I/0, but it doesn't seem to give me the option.
    i think the first thing to do would be to check with Mackie support. two things noted on Mackie's website:
    DRIVERS::
    No Driver Required for Supported Windows (PC) or OS X (Mac) Versions
    (note "supported")
    and
    For the Mac::
    Mac OS X 10.4.11 – 10.7.1
    ask if their firmware currently supports OS X 10.9.x

  • Multiple iphones each with an apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates?

    We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten.  Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ?  Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?

    Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
    You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
    So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences.

  • How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2.  I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use.  how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases.  If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

  • With the new fcpx...can we use the plug ins I paid for..like FxFactory?

    ....with the new fcpx...can we use the plug ins I paid for..like FxFactory?

    It's highly likely, Apple are not in the habit of shooting themselves in the foot and have an excellent track record for handling major architectural transitions (68000 to PowerPC, PowerPC to Intel, OS 9 to OS X etc) but of course nothing can be guaranteed until further official announcements are made. Your existing software however will certainly continue to work for some time yet to come with  compatibility for the existing FCP, Motion, After Effects versions.
    Why not drop an email to FxFactory / Noise Industries support?

  • Can i use the old iPad keyboard dock for iPad2?

    can i use the old iPad keyboard dock for iPad2?

    Instead of inserting a ruler behind the iPad, I have found that putting the Keyboard Dock on an incline plane also works.   Once I found the appropriate angle of the incline, then I cut a piece of wood with that same angle, painted it white, andglued the Keyboard Dock to the piece of wood.
    Now I don't have to insert a pad or ruler between the iPad and the Dock.  The iPad now leans forward to the correct angle.
    The raised angle also helps  me type better due to the tilt.
