GamingX Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hi,I installed Windows 7 Basic initially thinking Home Premium or Ultimate will be too much for the hardware I have, but since then I did a few upgrades on the hardware and think that my PC should be able to support Ultimate. But the problem is, I have no idea how to upgrade. I tried inserting the Windows 7 Disc but get some kind of error about the DVD being older than the current version of Windows 7. As for the online upgrade, I don't have that internet speeds that would be required to go for it. Is it possible to use the Windows 7 Disc to boot up and then install on the same partition of the Windows Basic without having to format it ? Or are there any other alternatives ?

Win2k3EE Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Maybe you inserted Windows 7 RC/BETA DVD and that's why it said "it's an older version", otherwise it's pretty simple: insert your Windows 7 Ultimate DVD and choose UPGRADE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Have you tried Anytime Upgrade from the Start Menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimzky Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Win7 Basic to Win7 Ult should be a valid path. If you have the product key, just do a Windows Anytime Upgrade as suggested by Tripredacus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
