Hi, Not sure if this is the right place to post this one so forgive me if it's not. Apparently you cannot update from a 32-bit version of Windows (XP in my case) to 64-bit Win 8 using the Windows Upgrade Assistant and the downloadable $39.99 version, you have to purchase a boxed DVD set and...

I'm new to this forum, so hi all. I'm a SDM for a software house, and decided it was time to evaluate Windows 7 to see whether it made sense to move to it from Windows Vista. The first thing I will say is that we do not like Windows Vista and would love to move away from it. This is primarily...

Sorry if this is long-winded, am completely stuck and not sure what to do. I am a MS employee, got a free (legal) copy of Win7 ultimate under the home usage program and our internal help desk says they don’t support. I have loaded many OS onto laptops at work, so know the basic routine. Computer...
