00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:06.480
so today I have an unboxing that is actually a leadin into something more

00:00:04.279 --> 00:00:11.920
interesting okay so I have a copy of Windows 7 Professional this is a retail

00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:14.799
copy it is an upgrade designed for

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:19.800
Windows Vista to be upgraded but it says right on the side all the additions of

00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:21.960
Windows XP and Windows Vista qualify you

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:25.720
to upgrade you must accept the enclosed license terms it's got some system

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:30.240
requirements all that good stuff so let's get this thing open and the reason

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

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:38.280
of Windows 7 without actually having

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:43.239
another operating system already installed and no one seems to know yet

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:47.120
whether you have to actually install Windows Vista or whether you just need

00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:51.719
to put in your product key when you're installing Windows 7 so you slide the

00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:54.800
retail box out of the uh the little slip here which also shows you all the

00:00:53.480 --> 00:00:59.359
differences between the different editions of Windows 7 so Home Premium

00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:04.320
professional ultimate with professional you get run many Windows XP okay you get

00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:07.600
Windows XP Mode you get support for a domain and you can recover your data

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:12.159
easily with automatic backup to your Homer business Network then with

00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:16.640
ultimate you get bit Locker encryption and you also get your choice of 35

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

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:27.159
is made in Puerto Rico okay we've got our Windows 7 Logo there Microsoft okay

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

00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:35.439
right here you go if you are upgrading from Windows XP run the Windows upgrade

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:39.640
advisor save your files to an external hard drive you will need to manually

00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:43.799
reinstall your programs and you want to select custom Advance this to me

00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:47.280
indicates that there's a pretty good chance that we can just install the

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:52.159
upgrade fresh because they're telling you if you are installing from Windows

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

00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:01.600
that's a good indicator all right then welcome to your PC simplified this is

00:01:58.600 --> 00:02:03.320
the little uh sure about Windows 7 some

00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:09.160
of the key new features all that good stuff there's your product key and then

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:11.879
