Windows 7 Upgrade Help

Two things:

1- I would go with the ISO download. A ton of programs will burn ISO files which is an image file. Nero does it with no problems. This way if something goes wrong you have it on disk.

Nero Lite For Free

2- $30 bucks??? Seems steep. My daughter just bought a Windows 7 disk at her college bookstore for $13.49 which is good for up to 3 computers.

Thanks Ron but I dont have an external drive for this yet. What version did she get? I was in the store the other day and saw an upgrade from 7 starter to home premium go for 80 bucks which was the cheapest version.

Windows 7 Pro 64bit - upgrade. And like I said, it is sold at her college bookstore.

A couple items also - size of the download and size of the hard drive you have. Also are you downloading via WiFi, card, etc or are you using a wired connection. Wired is going to be your best bet to get a good download.

The size is 2260 MB. I have a 250gb hard drive. I am downloading it using my wifi connection in my dorm room here at the academy. I want the full features that the home pro offers compared to just the starter.

good luck, you may need to get a download manager. It allows to pick up a disconnected downloads.
