Windows 7

Hi, I currently have Windows Vista Ultimate installed on my Macbook. When I installed it, using bootcamp I had to have the full version of Vista Ultimate. I now want to install Windows 7. What version do I need and do I need the full version or can I use an upgrade version from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 and can you point me to some documentation on this process and the exact requirements? Thank you.

I'd like to know this too, sicne I will be buying the windows 7 professional upgrade for my vista ultimate 64 bit on mac.

you just need the upgrade if you have Vista.

you just need the upgrade.

I even upgraded from XP lol

Hi everyone. Windows Vista Ultimate can be upgraded to Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate. Get Home Premium if this is just for personal use, if you also bring it to the office, get Professional just to be on the safe side.

Windows XP Pro can be upgraded to the same pathway, but I believe you have to go through migration rather than direct upgrade (Saves personal files on external drive/DVD).

Just be sure to check 32-bit / 64-bit if you buy OEM.

If you're planning on buying Windows 7, you should know Newegg's OEM prices are cheaper than the upgrade version.

Also, if you have a valid .edu e-mail address, you can get Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional for just $30+ship/tax.

Thank you for the replies. Is there any kind of documentation on this?
