How many computer can I install Windows 7 on?
I аm going tο bе purchasing thе Windows 7 Ultimate Edition whеn іt comes out, аnd I hаνе 3 computer іn mу home. Cаn I bed іn Windows οn more thаn one PC?
I аm οnlу going tο bе putting 7 οn two computers аt first (If іt’s possible) bесаυѕе one οf mу computers іѕ fine running XP. Bυt later οn I mіght рlасе 7 οn thаt one two. Isn’t іt 3 computers max іf I bυу a valid copy οf Windows 7 frοm stores?
No. You can only bed in one copy, unless it says it can be place on more.
I reckon the REALLY expensive ones (like the ones teachers use) can be place on at most three computers
As far as i know you can only do this on 1 computer, because you cannot share the manufactured goods key ( but tbh mate its extremely unlikely you’ll get caught ) torrent sites offer manufactured goods keys and some dont get blacklisted for years and reckon thousands of people would of been using that and you allotment it with 1 or 2
The normal Windows 7 Ultimate manufactured goods is only licensed for a release computer, meaning you would need one for each computer. Microsoft has said that they will be selling a 3 computer “family pack” that should be cheaper then buying 3 individual copies.
get a “3 pack” licence. you get one disc but 3 Key codes!
To be honest At the moment Windows 7 isnt all that fantastic, well for me it isnt anyway i keep getting BSOD everytime i get into windows. And it isnt any quicker then vista, i recomend staying with vista if you are not having any problems with that
Win7 is brilliant. The companies that made my hardware made fantastic levelheaded drivers for Win7 64-Bit. (ASUS, Nvidia, Texas Instruments, etc.) I ran Win7 RC for months without a BSOD and I was using the Vista drivers. Now that I have Win7 U-SE official release and the Win7 drivers are out everything is still fantastic. It is more efficient than Vista which makes it quicker; it’s even more visually attractive too. The user interface has been revamped and the Libraries feature is fantastic. There are still some small permission issues with games but Windows 7 is still the best OS since XP, and it’s not even officially out yet. The only terrible thing I’ve heard is possible issues with the upgrade disk from Vista to Win7; and upgrade from XP to Win7 is rumor has it that possible but it’s not a walk in the park.
Each key normally gets initiation on one computer.
They have a family upgrade 3-pack of the home premium version though.
You nearly certainly don’t need the additional facial appearance in Ultimate this round, especially for home uses. You might gamely do better looking into the family pack for what you want to do.
There will be a family pack that will become available on Oct. 22 that will come with 3 Windows 7 Home Premium UPGRADE licenses, meaning the PCs must be either running Vista or XP. This deal is not available for Windows 7 Ultimate, so you will have to buy the Ultimate version through the Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade program.
