Do not waste your money. Need I say more! Purchased the online upgrade CD not the download. When I got it it did not work on three computers Running W 7 64 bit. Had to Install manualy and Thank God I only tried one and did a backup before i did. Still did not work, Hung up, freezes, would not upload media etc. Downloaded patch and got worse to the point of the dreaded BLUE SCREEN. SCARY! Sent it back asked for refund and got refund two months later after several emails. So, decided to try a STORE Bought version $80.00 thinking perhaps it would be better. Installed just fine but media took forever and still hung up and frezes. So thru it back to. I have been a user of FTM and a subscriber to Ancetsry since 1993. This is the first time a software has had so many issues. One more thing, did not see much difference between 2012 version and new version other than it is more color coded which you can do that with 2012 and you still can only sync to one computer. So will wait till they come up with more patches or a better software.

I had no problem upgrading to 8.1 - Asus have excellent customer service so I suggest you contact them.

Yes. I bought this ages ago and it has been a champ for me since I got it, from XP to Vista to 7 to 8 RC, 8 release, and then 8.1.

Yes. Also when you set up your account with Microsoft you can upgrade to 8.1 free

The updates are free, the upgrade (I.e. LR 6) will not be free. You can use this version forever if you choose to!

Have had my unit 2 years and at least 4 updates with no problems at all. Are you sure the old update problem still exists? Updates during the year appear minor, but should be done whenever you are taking a long trip to unknown areas.

It is a full version, although, if you have 6, it will simply upgrade some things to 7.I have 8.1 and find it works just fine with same.

Depends on the os and what you're upgrading to. Check on the os website (ex: Windows) to see if your current version supports your upgrades.

It has for me and I love it. When I installed it I had Windows 7 on my PC and I upgraded to 8 and have used it several times and have had no problems. Good luck to you&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Peace

I installed the upgrade from FP and it went fine. I did not have FP installed and it did not ask for the program disk or the product key. I'm guessing it will work for you as well.

I have read the posts for 2009 and they were more than sufficient to disuade me from buying this new upgrade, or is it downgrade. I have been using 2008 Home and Business since it came out, and would recommend it.

There is no reason why this machine could not be upgraded. I'm not a fan of WIN8 and you would have to buy the program separately but otherwise it should be fine running on the new OS.

Yes no problem, it can some times alreadt come with version 8 but will ask you to upgrde to 8.1 which i did and works perfect.

The download is the complete program.. you don't have to have a previous version installed to upgrade. You need the license for your old version however to be eligible to receive the 'crossgrade' license.

I did the the upgrade. It was very easy. It's really different but it didn't take too long for me to get comfortable with the new OS.
