Need Some Advice On Windows 7 Ultimate

[inthepink]

Hi All,

Having recently upgraded online to full windows 7 from a windows 7 starter pack on my netbook I note that "office" doesn't recognise the licence key, even when copied & pasted to avoid mistakes. Is "office" a separate purchase or am I doing something wrong?

Normally - yes. "Office" is a separate purchase.

If you like you could try Open Office that is free - http://www.openoffice.us.com/

I prefer Libre Office http://www.libreoffice.org/download/

Most of the OpenOffice developers now work on that instead.

Me too. OpenOffice seems to take an age to load compared to LibreOffice (on Linux systems anyway).

Thanks for the replies:)

The office on the new install is a test version. It will work for a month or so but then you must buy a key if you want to use it. It however still remains functional for reading documents and lets you read word documents and spreasheats but not edit or write them.

Hello,

I lost my genuine Windows 7 activation key that I just re-installed to be able to make a clean update to Windows 8 ($39)

Can you tell me if I can update to Windows 8 without activating Windows 7 or if I need how could I do ? Any program that bypass the check or pretends that Windows 7 is activated to allow me to later update to paid windows 7 ?

Or is there any way to buy online a cheap windows 7 product key ?

I am just so lazy and don't want to buy the full version of Windows 8 that cost 3000 Thb and that is not available online.

Please help !

Yes there are solutions but it depends where you are in the process of upgrading.

Have you already bought the Win8 $39 upgrade and have the product key?

or

Are you trying to buy the Win8 upgrade but can't complete validation because your present Win7 is not activated?
