mine was not able to upgrade, so I bought a new (refurbished) Dell Optiplex at a really good price, around $170, and am extremely happy with it. If you want to know where I purchased it, it was from a company called cortek and their email address is www.coretek.us phone is 704.792.2221 Ext. 302 and my contact's name is Elio. If you contact him, you can say hi from Jeff Rosenberg. I hope this helps-----------Jeff

HiReally depends on the age of your machine. This version is for system builders, meaning you'd have to wipe windows xp and install win7 fresh. This won't upgrade an existing windows installation.If your machine is older than 4 years, I'd suggest a new machine.The install took 15gb of my hard disk

Yes you can install any application that currently installs to win7. The interface is the exact same.

Actually you cannot use it as this will only transfer from Windows (Any Windows) to Windows 7 sadly.

From Vista (32 bit) you should be able to upgrade and everything will transfer over. Your system should meet all the minimum requirements for Win 7 if it was running Vista, check this page http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/system-requirements to make sure. If you buy this and find it won't upgrade, you won't totally lose the value of buying Windows 7 as you can also do a 'clean' install that would require you to reinstall Office and others.However, you should backup your important files before you upgrade, just to be safe.

Yes There Is A version For Windows 7 Probably Available For Download If You Do Not Have It Already

Nope. Only VS2012 can be upgraded to VS2013. All others have to buy the full retail.

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.

I am almost positive that you can. I have not fully downloaded to Windows 8.1.

Hi there...I think its hard to go windows7...of course we can do it but...I suggest to stick to the windows 8 better. but before you install...try to download factory recovery DVD first in case.... If it is external..of course you can...anyway...good luck with your customization of your system.

Yes and no. This is for a new install. You will need to back up your data, and confirm all your software, hardware will work. There is a free program that will check your unit out at Microsoft. Download it run it and it will tell you what will or will not work. (Never had a problem upgrading a machine) Hope this helps.

You should be able to connect this drive and then redirect your download to this drive. You should be able to do this through the W7 download page or you could redirect your default download location through your browser. The bigger question to you will be whether you have enough room on your primary drive to do the upgrade. Another option would be to move most of your personal files from your original drive to this external drive freeing up space on your primary drive to download and upgrade Windows. Depends on what you want. Personally, I would at least use the external drive as a backup/copy for your personal files in case your upgrade goes badly.

yes and it comes with Windows 8 Cd's so you could upgrade. But a friend of mine told me Windows 8 isn't doing well right now, so don't use the cd yet. Until they fix their issues

Not pre-loaded, you would have to buy Windows 7 separately and do a downgrade install.

Well, mine came with Windows 7 installed and a disk with Windows 8, if you want to "upgrade" which I did not because older software will not work.
