Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Windows 7 Home Premium is the best version to choose for older machines and/or simpler networks. The "Backup" offered in 7 Pro can be done easily with free tools, and unless you need complex networking, 7 has what it takes to manage a home network. Last, the 'XP Mode' promised in 7 Pro and above will only work on hardware new enough to support "Virtualization Technology" (stop by Microsoft's website to learn more). This isn't the same as "XP Compatibility Mode", which you will still have for all versions of Windows 7 (there's a great video explanation of this on CNET's website in their Windows 7 Center at CNET TV).
Some very important things you need to know about upgrading:
1) There are two types of upgrade: "in-place" (where a Vista machine upgrades to 7 and you get to keep all your programs) and "clean" (where you lose all your old programs and settings).
2) Anyone going from XP to 7 will have to go "clean".
3) Anyone going from a different Vista to 7 (for example, Vista Home to 7 Pro, or Vista Ultimate to 7 Home) will also have to go "clean".
If you have to do 2) or 3), all is not lost--I'll explain in a moment.
Before you even buy 7 for your machine, stop by Microsoft's website for two things:
a) download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. Run it with every device connected to the machine that you'll ever want to use in 7. It'll thoroughly examine your machine for any roadblocks and give you good advice about upgrading.
b) Go to the Windows 7 Compatibility Center and double-check anything that came up negative in the Upgrade Advisor (or didn't show up at all). This site lists detailed compatibility info on a LOT of different devices.
Anything major, like a video card or sound card driver, I'd recommend double-checking with the manufacturer's website to be sure. This almost burned me on two of the machines that I upgraded.
Last, make a backup. There's a free tool called Macrium Reflect that can do this for you.
Do you have to do a "clean" install, but just want to carry over your user accounts and settings? Microsoft makes a program called Windows Easy Transfer that's already in Vista (and can be downloaded from Microsoft for XP) that will export your accounts and settings and let you import them back again. It's very easy to use and does a good job of putting your accounts back together again, even going from XP to 7.
Do you have to do the "clean" install, and you don't want to reinstall all your programs? Laplink has an offer for $19.95 that will let you use a special version of their program "PC Mover" to upgrade one machine one time. Read the documentation in detail.
The most important thing to doing a "clean" install is that in the Upgrade setup you choose "Custom". Windows will take all of your major files and place them in a folder called "Windows.old". PC Mover and the Easy Transfer program will use this folder to reconstruct your system from, so this is VERY important.
I wish I had more space to go into detail here...bottom line is, if you plan ahead a bit, upgrading to 7 will go very easily (and if it doesn't, you'll have something to fall back on).

Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. Windows 7 Home Premium makes it easy to create a home network and share all of your favorite photos, videos, and music. You can even watch, pause, rewind, and record TV (a broadcast TV tuner may be required). Get the best entertainment experience with Windows 7 Home Premium. Do you use your PC for work, run Windows XP programs, or require enhanced security? Consider Windows 7 Professional.


Upgrade to Windows 7 All editions of Windows XP and Windows Vista qualify you to buy an upgrade license.
1. Choose your edition of Windows 7 Explore key features and choose the edition that's best for you. Be sure to check the expanded list of extended features in Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, and Windows 7 Ultimate. System requirements vary for each edition of Windows 7 because some features might require special hardware.

2. See if your PC has what it takes to run Windows 7 In general, if your PC can run Windows Vista it can run Windows 7. To make sure, download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to do a quick check. If you want certain features, such as HomeGroup or Windows Media Center, check to see if your PC has the hardware that's needed.

3. Check which operating system your PC is currently running How you make the move to Windows 7 depends on your current operating system.

Windows Vista The transition to Windows 7 should be pretty smooth, although you may need to update your system to the latest service pack first.
Windows XP (or any other operating system) Windows 7 is best experienced on a new PC with the latest hardware, but if your computer meets the minimum specifications, you can install Windows 7 on a PC running Windows XP. Windows 7 must be "custom" installed (also known as a "clean" installation) over Windows XP. Before beginning the installation, you'll need to copy your files and settings to an external drive. After Windows 7 has been installed you will need to re-install all of your programs using the original installation media and then copy over the files and settings you backed up to your external drive. Because Windows 7 requires a custom installation, we strongly recommend that you get help with this process from your local computer service provider.

PCmover Ultimate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am an IT professional and bought this product aware of the bad reviews but with the hope that I could transfer some programs from Windows XP to Windows 7. I did succeed in this modest objective but with so much difficulty that I would rate this as one of the worst software products I have ever encountered. The instructions are poor, there are many pitfalls, a transfer can take many,many hours, and the transfer often aborts arbitrarily and has to be completely redone.
If you are as foolish as I was and buy this product here are some lessons. First, following the instructions you must load the software on the new computer, then on the old computer, and get it going. At this point do NOT TOUCH either machine. If you touch any key it will hang the transfer. I also discovered that any automatic process (like virus scanning, software updates, backups, screen savers, power saving mode) will also hang it. Make sure you disable all of these before you begin.
Next, you can get Windows 7 to network with Windows XP however this software will not see both machines. Do not use the network transfer method - the only thing that works is the special USB transfer cable.
I naively tried to transfer everything at first. It predicted 22 hours for the transfer so I set it going, later went to bed, went to work the next day, came home to find it had hung up about 15 hours into the process. Tried again, same thing. The only way I could ever get any success is by doing relatively small moves at a time; some data files, then music, then pictures, then two or three application programs. About half of these small moves (which take about 1- 2 hours) succeeded the first time, and about half had to be redone.
Finally, when it fails and you restart it will ask you to resume the old transfer or to undo the old transfer. Do NOT undo the old transfer - it will erase everything. Always select restart - even if you are transferring files you had not tried to transfer previously.

Windows 7 PRO 64 Bit System Builder 1pk Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This isn't a review of Windows 7 itself, but of the Windows 7 Professional 64 bit System Builder pack as sold here.
Since I build all my PCs, I have to supply an OS for them and many of them need to be running Windows. Microsoft's pricing for the retail versions is simply horrid and gouging, especially when you consider that companies like Dell and EMachines pay much less than $100 per installation for any desktop version of Windows.
For the PC builder on a tight budget, they often think that they only have a choice of being raped on the price or installing a pirated copy of Windows. Since pirating is illegal, immoral and dangerous (most of the copies, activation cracks and keygens on the internet are infected with malware) to do it right means paying too much money.
This also applies to a home user (or even an office one) who wants to upgrade an existing Windows machine to the latest. Even Microsoft's retail prices for the upgrades are horrendously expensive.
This distribution is intended for those who build Windows PCs much as I did in my computer store throughout the late 80s and 90s. The ONLY differences between it and a retail copy of Windows 7 Professional are:
1. Price
2. No fancy box
3. No extra flyers, leaflets and junk
4. No support from Microsoft as the builder is supposed to support the customer
The box and flyers go in the trash anyway. In 20 some years of using Windows I've only called Microsoft once, and that was their "store" to order an "anytime upgrade" as their website was down. So #4 doesn't mean a thing to me.
Where this SKU shines is the price as you get the full "Professional Version" for less than the "Home Premium" version.
As I've stated in previous reviews, "Home Premium" is a waste of time for anyone need more than basic Windows functionality as Microsoft disabled too many features. With "Home Premium" the only way to network your computer to ANY prior version of Windows, Mac, Linux and a number of networkable devices is to edit the Windows registry. This eliminates probably 90% (or more) home users.
Also missing is the ability to have a relative or friend who is your "computer guru" use Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol to take over your computer and help you through a problem. Home users likely will never use that feature, but those who support them DO need it. The alternative is to install a 3rd party program that accomplishes the same thing, often at a cost of security and price.
For those two reasons alone, I feel that Windows 7 Professional 64 bit System Builder is a wise choice for your next upgrade or fresh installation.
*Please note that I do not disparage or discourage use of LogMeIn, TeamViewer or GoToMyPC, etc. as I DO make use of the first two.
