1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,480
so today I have an unboxing that is actually a leadin into something more

2
00:00:04,279 --> 00:00:11,920
interesting okay so I have a copy of Windows 7 Professional this is a retail

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,799
copy it is an upgrade designed for

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:19,800
Windows Vista to be upgraded but it says right on the side all the additions of

5
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:21,960
Windows XP and Windows Vista qualify you

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:25,720
to upgrade you must accept the enclosed license terms it's got some system

7
00:00:23,439 --> 00:00:30,240
requirements all that good stuff so let's get this thing open and the reason

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:36,640
I'm opening this is because I want to test if you can install an upgrade copy

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,280
of Windows 7 without actually having

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:43,239
another operating system already installed and no one seems to know yet

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,120
whether you have to actually install Windows Vista or whether you just need

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:51,719
to put in your product key when you're installing Windows 7 so you slide the

13
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:54,800
retail box out of the uh the little slip here which also shows you all the

14
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:59,359
differences between the different editions of Windows 7 so Home Premium

15
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:04,320
professional ultimate with professional you get run many Windows XP okay you get

16
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:07,600
Windows XP Mode you get support for a domain and you can recover your data

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,159
easily with automatic backup to your Homer business Network then with

18
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:16,640
ultimate you get bit Locker encryption and you also get your choice of 35

19
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:21,280
languages okay there we go so then we have a little uh seal on the top which

20
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:27,159
is made in Puerto Rico okay we've got our Windows 7 Logo there Microsoft okay

21
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:31,280
it's fairly fairly bog standard I would say so let's rip that baby open all

22
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:35,439
right here you go if you are upgrading from Windows XP run the Windows upgrade

23
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,640
advisor save your files to an external hard drive you will need to manually

24
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:43,799
reinstall your programs and you want to select custom Advance this to me

25
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:47,280
indicates that there's a pretty good chance that we can just install the

26
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:52,159
upgrade fresh because they're telling you if you are installing from Windows

27
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:56,799
XP you will need to completely reformat your computer okay so that's a that's a

28
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:01,600
that's a good indicator all right then welcome to your PC simplified this is

29
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,320
