I lost everything in a fire. Someone got me version 5 limited edition. Do you know if I can jump (upgrade) from that to 7? (I'm on a used XP)

Yes, you can. Simply put, yes. I used to have an XP. It does work on it. 7 is old, It will even work on windows 2000. Which I also, had where it worked. So yes, go right ahead and upgrade to 7.

I would love to upgrade to XP, however, I am not talented enough to do it by myself and Best Buy won't uninstall Vista...any suggestions?

The one I purchased was the full install version 7.0 of Reason, not the upgrade.

I upgraded from Windows XP. It backs up everything, installs windows 7,and then reloads everything back in. I am also going to do it to a windows Vista machine. I bought a brand new upgrade version of Windows 7 off of Ebay from a company in the UK and it only cost me 154.00 American dollars. That included shipping. My first copy I bought off of Amazon and it cost 210.00 dollars. Do some research and you might be able to save some money. The upgrade version does all the hard work for you, the factory version does a clean install and won't back up anything first. Hope this info helps and good luck.

First Question: There is a way to do a clean install with the upgrade version on an empty formatted hard drive. At windowssecret.com there are complete instructions. Second Question: You actually need to buy the 64 bit version

If you don't own an older version, then you have to buy the full version. When LR 4 comes out, you can upgrade at the lower price, but you have to start with a full version.

No. An "upgrade" version requires a previous version to be existing (or at least have the installation disk(s) for the previous version). That said, XP is no longer supported and is vunerable to security attacks. MS is providing no further updates (as of April 2014). But if ou must have XP, then look for the "Full" version.

I can only say that I put this on my computer that had xp...I believe that the upgrade actually caused a fatal error...I wouldn't go past windows 7 upgrade if I had an older computer...my computer although pretty much problem free was 8 years old...

I owned the entire series when I was running XP. When I upgraded to Windows 7, it would no longer work. Went to the silly online game for AoE. So did they rework the software so it now works on Windows 7? Because the original software does not.

Hello yes this is a full version, keep in mind that XP end of service is April 2014. This means that Microsoft will not be making any updates for it, or giving customer support for XP. You will still be able to use it as a base system, to use a upgrade version of windows 7 and 8. Hope this was helpful to you.

I don't believe so. I had 7.4 and recall paying for version 10.? (before 11 was released) then 11 was a free upgrade.

The system builder is really for installing on blank machines. If you already have XP, you should just get the upgrade version, which is cheaper anyway.

Comes preloaded with windows 8....you could reformat it and put 7 one it if you own a copy

it is a full version that's requires delete hard drive previously to installation. It cant be used as UPGRADE.

8 and right after I plugged it in 8.1 became available but i couldn't figure out how to upgrade! Think it was suppost to be free but I wasn't able to do so. It's been in the box for the last 3 months, haven't had time to plug it back in. I got it for the XP thing ending. Liked it though, but my Mac mini fits better on the shelf !
