The TPM 2.0 requirement is for the upgrade from WIndows 10 to Windows 11. You can do a successful clean install on PC's that won't allow you to do an upgrade for Win 10 to 11.

There are actually more then 3 ODM's. You forgot Foxconn (Apple). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laptop_brands_and_manufacturers

Well in todays' world SP's tend to be a combination of the the Microsoft updates. The last real SP was SP2 for XP.

Well I'm sure Microsoft paid the developers to write the software, paid for all the materials used in the packaging of the product.

I recently purchased a HP Pavilion DV7-2180US with Vista 64 bit Home Premium. I'm a member of technet and decided to install Windows 7 Ultimate. Well today I was on the HP and noticed they have the drivers for Windows 7 for my laptop. The one noticeable issue i had was my volume control touch...

If you do an upgrade it won't because all the things that made Vista slow are still there. I guess the best comparison would be to do clean installs of Vista and 7 and compare. DO it with nothing else installed.

In otherwards you hade to install the drivers twice. In XP mode you don't have to install. XP mode in more integrated to Windows 7 then Virtual PC 2007. I ran Windows 7 in Virtual PC 2007 in Vista and I hit full screen it went larger but the actual screen didn't expand fullt because I have a...

Micosoft will also offer a family pack for like $200 off if you had to buy 3 copies separately. The family pack is for Home Premium and you get 3 copies for like 149.00. I think Windows 7 blows Vista away in for business with its applocker and the new migration tool to allow businesses to...

The version Windows 7 installs is based on the key. You can get the MSDNAA key and validate the professional version. If you still want to go to Ultimate then you can do the Microsoft Anytime Upgrade to go from Pro to Ultimate which should be around 100.00. Ultimate doesn't give you many more...

The advantage of XP mode Is it runs seamlessly(well sort of). You don't have to start the virtual machine first as you just click on the shortcut or menu and the program executes. The XP mode is great for compatability of programs and a virtual machine is great for other OSes.

I had issues myself trying ti install MS Virtual PC 2007 which is different from the XP mode. Go to this page and download both http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
