be upgraded but it says right on the side all the additions of Windows XP and Windows Vista qualify you to upgrade you must accept the enclosed license terms it's got some system requirements all that good stuff so let's get this thing open and the reason I'm opening this is because I want to test if you can install an upgrade copy of Windows 7 without actually having another operating system already installed and no one seems to know yet whether you have to actually install Windows Vista or whether you just need to put in your product key when you're installing Windows 7 so you slide the retail box out of the uh the little slip here which also shows you all the differences between the different editions of Windows 7 so Home Premium professional ultimate with professional you get run many Windows XP okay you get Windows XP Mode you get support for a domain and you can recover your data easily with automatic backup to your Homer business Network then with ultimate you get bit Locker encryption and you also get your choice of 35 languages okay there we go so then we have a little uh seal on the top which is made in Puerto Rico okay we've got our Windows 7 Logo there
