Chazz_BMF Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Ok I am currently running vista ultimate 64 bit and want to upgrade to win 7 ultimate. But here in Denmark the upgrade are very expensive compared to the US version wich is half the price. So my question is does anybody know if it is possible to upgrade an EU version with a US download upgrade??? :helpsmilie: :pilotfly:Wolfpack Production:pilotfly: -=<[WiN 10, I7 3770K @ 4,5 Ghz, Corsair H100i, Sabertooth Z77, 16 GB Dominator, Sapphire 7970 VaporX 6GB, C70 Vengance, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro rudder, Track IR, Beyerdynamics MMX 300 ]>=- DCS/FC2/FC3/Arma videos on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/WolfpackproductionDK "Fortes Furtuna Juvat"
EtherealN Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Quick question: why Ultimate and have you checked OEM prices? As for your question, I don't know, but I suspect you can't.

Chazz_BMF Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 Yeah i guess so, I was just thinking about upgrading so it will leave my files and folders intact. Ive read if I switch to another version than ultimate I have to make a complete reinstallation. But I guess it is worth the extra time to backup everything up. Then what OEM version should I choose btw I was thinking of changing my motherboard in the progress any ideas? I would like to continue to use my Q9550 just a little bit longer, but at the same time be ready for the next gen cpu´s/gpu´s. advice? :pilotfly:Wolfpack Production:pilotfly: -=<[WiN 10, I7 3770K @ 4,5 Ghz, Corsair H100i, Sabertooth Z77, 16 GB Dominator, Sapphire 7970 VaporX 6GB, C70 Vengance, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro rudder, Track IR, Beyerdynamics MMX 300 ]>=- DCS/FC2/FC3/Arma videos on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/WolfpackproductionDK "Fortes Furtuna Juvat"
EtherealN Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Hm, well, the issue with OEM versions is that they generally lock to the motherboard as far as the license goes, so that might not be the best idea if you're still on a 775. To be honest, I'd say stick with Vista until you replace the machine, and get 7 Home Premium OEM with the next one. Such a license should land somewhere around ~750 DKK. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester

Yeah I guess the most optimal solution would be to hang in there just a little bit longer. I just get frustrated in my hunt for more FPS. For now my sytems runs pretty well OC to 3,3 ghz. I just cant bare that vista takes out all the juice. Thx for the quick responses guys :thumbup: :pilotfly:Wolfpack Production:pilotfly: -=<[WiN 10, I7 3770K @ 4,5 Ghz, Corsair H100i, Sabertooth Z77, 16 GB Dominator, Sapphire 7970 VaporX 6GB, C70 Vengance, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro rudder, Track IR, Beyerdynamics MMX 300 ]>=- DCS/FC2/FC3/Arma videos on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/WolfpackproductionDK "Fortes Furtuna Juvat"
