Windows 7 Home Premium (System Builders Version) Will it Work?

I would like to know if Windows 7 64bit (Home Premium), can be installed by using the bootcamp assistant in my MacBook Pro (system specs below). I'm reluctant to install a system builders version of Windows 7 since Microsoft recently changed the license terms in their Windows System Builders Editions. I plan to buy this version via Newegg.com (Product Page here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116754&cmre=windows_7_home_premium_system_builder-_-32-116-754--Product )
Thank You for any help in this matter...

I was recommending that if someone was to go out and buy Windows today, that they skip XP entirely, not that if you have it, to upgrade (though I think Windows 7 is more stable and useful in many ways).

For which I replied a hearty, "Yes!"
What I meant with my last post was that I successfully installed Windows 7 Home Premium (System Builders version) using bootcamp assistant.

  • HP Compaq d530 SFF not recognizing DIMMs. Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit - BIOS version 02.44

    Hello HP community!
    I recently received a HP Compaq d530 SFF, from the company, where I had my work experience.
    I gladly took their offer and took the PC home, all was going well until I bought myself some new DIMMs, from ebuyer.com.
    I new for a fact, the computer needs DDR 333MHz, PC2700 and it had to be in DIMM format, so I went and bought 3x1GB modules. A few days later they arrived and I inserted them into the computer, making sure that two DIMMs were in the blue slots, and the others (I wanted to keep a 256MB module in) in the black slots.
    I re-inserted the power cable and tried to boot the PC, it showed me a BIOS message, showing the amount of memory had changed, since the last boot. Once the configuration showed up, it only recognized the 256MB module. I then powered down the computer, to then remove the 256MB module, to see what would happen. I then rebooted the PC and it gave me an error tone (No picture). To which I then (rotatingly) tried each different DIMM, to see if one of them was defect. They all gave me the same error tone. Since then, I have been running Windows Vista Home Premium, with 1GB (4x256MB DIMM).
    Does anyone maybe have a suggestion, how to solve this problem?
    I have already updated the BIOS version to 02.44 (Latest I could find).
    Thanks in advance!
    Yours sincerely Simon Cahill

    Not all memory is the same, even when picking PC2700. Did you purchase non-ECC?

  • Since the latest update of Firefox was installed on my Windows Vista Home Premium system it appears to be crashing and sometimes plays up by not opening requested sites in new windows, tabs etc. Should I uninstall and reload Firefox??

    Also when closing tabs and windows the screen appears to momentarily go a blue color. This same blue color can also be seen when Firefox appears to crash or stall. If you try to open a new tab or a new window there appears to be some hesitation before the new window opens and sometimes the new window or tab simply refuses to open-you then have to shut down Firefox and restart to improve this.

    Thanks Alan I tried disabling several items so far and the situation has improved but still not as stable as I would like. Systematic approach is the key here so I'll continue with a process of elimination.

  • What is the best and fastest browser to use, I have Windows 7 Home Premium, 32 bit version...

    if firefox is best, how do I UNinstall internet explorer 8? on my computer

    The idea of the best browser is very subjective, people will have different opinions of what is the best. Why not install Firefox and try it to see if you like it.
    Do not uninstall Internet Explorer, it is required by some sites, and some applications are hard coded to use IE.

  • Problems initializing Ipad2 with Windows 7  Home Premium 32 bit system

    I just bought an Ipad2 and to initialize that, I tried intsallign Itunes 10.4 on my PC which has Windows 7 Home Premium system. It has become a nightmare, I am able to install Itunes successfully however when I sync the Ipad device the Itunes is unable to recognize.
    What should I do?
    Any help provided is appreciated

    Windows 7 OEM is a full version of the OS but is sold primarily for "system builders," and that includes anyone who rebuilds his or her own system. You can install it and use it just like the regular version and you *do not* need the OEM pre-installation kit to do it. Just insert the DVD and let it do its thing. The installation should take about 20 minutes and is automated, just follow instructions on the screen. However, be advised that the OEM version does not include support from Microsoft. This is the main difference between the OEM version and the regular version. I recently rebuilt my older Dell PC, put in new hard drive and installed Win 7 OEM with no trouble at all. Win 7 does make a record of the specifications of your motherboard and cannot be installed on another computer.

  • ITunes Version 7.0.2.16 and Windows Vista Home Premium

    I am still using iTunes Version 7.0.2.16, and due to my failing computer, I am unable to upgrade to a newer iTunes version.
    I am about to replace my old computer and the new computers all seem to come with Windows Vista Home Premium.
    Do you know if Windows Vista Home Premium supports iTunes Version 7.0.2.16?
    (My plan is to install this old version, copy my music directory across to the new computer, and then upgrade iTunes.)
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Yes, you can install itunes 7.0.2.16 on Vista Home Premium.

  • Live Update 3 will fail on Windows Vista Home Premium

    Hi,
    I have a P6N Diamond motherboard with BIOS 1.0, in a Windows Vista Home Premium system
    I have downloaded Live Update 3 and tried to run it. I get various error messages one after another: "driver not valid", "Flash_MMIO_MAP DeviceIoControl error", etc, and then I have to close down Internet Explorer to be able to get back to a normal situation in the system.
    Can you please let me know how to update the BIOS?
    Thanks.

    Go in BIOS and make sure USB Legacy Support is Enabled(can be named USB KB/Storage Support), re-try to boot from your USB key again.
    If no change:
    Use HP Formatter(http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/32594.asp) to change USB key geometry, format the USB key in FAT32 via HP Tool.
    /* some USB keys are picky, and they need a special conditional to boot from it, Forum Tool is using the existing drive parameters */
    Then re-run Forum Tool, when its done reboot PC and boot again from it.

  • Windows 7 upgrade and existing Windows Vista Home Premium license...?

    Hi,
    As per Lenovo's scheme, after applying for Windows 7 64 bit upgrade and upon receiving the installer DVD, do I need to compulsorily install it?
    Does "upgrade" here really mean that the day when the Windows 7 DVD was issued on my name, my existing Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit license will become Invalid or get expired? Or I can continue using my existing installed Windows Vista on my Laptop and install the received copy of Windows 7 as and when I want or even don't install it on my Laptop, if happy using existing Windows Vista only?
    Regards,
    Aniket Dumbare

  • AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working - Windows Vista Home Premium 64

    I have iTunes 9.0.1 on my Acer AX1700-U3700A running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit version. In case it matters I am using McAfee.
    I can connect my iPhone 3G to my computer and iTunes finds it. But whenever I "right click" on the iPhone icon I get the dreaded "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working". I've followed Apple's uninstall and reinstall instructions twice to no avail. When I try "repairing" AppleMobileDeviceHelper I am told that I don't have the .msi file to repair it from.
    I've tried the "Run iTunes as an Administrator" option but I get the same result.
    I see some people recommend deleting the AppleMobileDeviceHelper binary altogether but want to make sure I'll be able to still sync my and my wife's iPhones and iPods.
    Does Apple had a fix for this?
    Is there some settings I need to change in McAfee? I've confirmed that iTunes has "Full Access" through McAfee (I'm only including this as in some other threads some pointed toward their anti-virus applications as part of the trouble.)
    Thanks in Advance,

  • Can't use iTunes with Windows Vista Home Premium

    I have deleted and reinstalled so many times, so i tried the compatibility settings and set it to work for Windows XP(Service Pack 2) with 256 colours. It works, but it messes up all my colours.
    Help, please.
    (My brother got iTunes working on his Windows Vista Home Premium laptop, but it won't work for the desktop computer.)

    i think the file name quicktime.msi is causing the problem
    also forgot to add that installation stops when the status turns to computing space requirements
