Which version of windows 7 do i need?

Question

I am upgrading from Vista home premium. I plan on going with windows 7 home premium, but do i need the "upgrade" or the one for "system builders"? there are a couple different options out there and i'm not sure. a link to the correct one would be nice.

Answer 1

Hello fa la la la la,



Great screen name :) - Since you are running Windows Vista, you will be able to purchase an upgrade copy of Windows 7 (as opposed to the full retail copy). The OEM is for system builders only, so that does not pertain to you. What you need is an upgrade version of Windows 7.



It is really up to you which edition of Windows 7 is best for you. If you use your computer for home use, I'd say that Home Premium will work great for you. Here is a comparison chart to help you decide - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/compare

I know Windows7 Ultimate is the best. However I prefer Windows7 Home Premium. Also I would go with the standard upgrade.

Answer 3

well...if you have to ask, stay away from the system builders version! XD that is for more advanced users.

stick with the standard upgrade.
