If I upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7, can I delete Windows XP Afterwards?
Currently on my laptop, I have a legit copy of Windows XP, Windows Vista(laptop originally came with this), and Windows 7 Release Candidate(good until maybe April ’10?). Anyways, I am wanting to buy a Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade, and install it onto my laptop. Question I am wondering(assuming I have Vista/Windows 7 RC already removed), if I do a Windows 7 upgrade from my Windows XP, would I be able to remove Windows XP completely after 7 is installed?
Additional question, if a ‘non-legit’ copy of windows xp pro is installed on a computer, would a windows 7 upgrade work with that non-legit xp? Just wondering because my neighbors have the non-legits on their computers, and I know they were thinking about buying windows 7 as well, but they are thinking of upgrades since those are cheaper than full version dvd’s.
Win7 will not upgrade from Win XP…. Will not. You will only be able to use the upgrade Win7 Disk on a machine that has a current and legit version of Windows Vista… does not matter which version of Vista. Your neighbors machine may be able to install Vista upgrade and then Go to Win 7.
