jshort1980 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I recently installed windows 7 ultimate on my computer that previousely ran vista home premium. Come to find out its a bootleg and now i want to install windows 7 home premium or professional. Can i just buy an upgrade or do i need the full version. Also i dont have the vista boot disc. Vista came as the os when i bought my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 A definitive answer can only be given by Microsoft - they would also be interested in the origin of your bootleg version of Windows.Give them a call, they are very helpful.

bludgard Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I believe the only way for an upgrade disk to be used in a custom installation is for there to be a valid version of Windows already installed on the machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANEMAN Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Hi and welcome,Well yes. A forum is a good way to let everyone know that you have been using pirated (Basically, Stolen) software.As pops has said though, contacting Microsoft would be your best bet in this case.To reach a wider audience you could perhaps take out an ad in a local or national newspaper, or even drop into your local police station.John.
