so today I have an unboxing that is actually a lead-in into something more interesting okay so I have a copy of Windows 7 Professional this is a retail copy it is an upgrade designed for Windows Vista to be upgraded but it says right on the side all the ditions of Windows XP and Windows Vista qualify you to upgrade you must accept the enclosed license terms it's got some system requirements all that good stuff so let's get this thing open and the reason I'm opening this is because I want to test if you can install an upgraded copy of Windows 7 without actually having another operating system already installed and no one seems to know yet whether you have to actually install Windows Vista or whether you just need to put in your product key when you're installing Windows 7 so you slide the retail box out of the little slip here which also shows you all the differences between the different editions of Windows 7 so home premium professional ultimate with professional you get run many windows XP ok you get Windows XP Mode you get support for a domain and you can recover your data easily with automatic backup to your home or business network then with ultimate you get BitLocker encryption and you also get your choice of 35 languages ok there we go so then we have a little seal on the top which is made in Puerto Rico okay we've got our Windows 7 logo there Microsoft yeah ok it's probably fairly bog-standard I would say so let's rip that baby open all right here you go if you are upgrading from Windows XP run the windows upgrade advisor save your files to an external hard drive you will need to manually reinstall your programs and you want to select custom advanced this to me indicates that there's a pretty good chance that we can just install the upgrade fresh because they're telling you if you are installing for Windows XP you will need to completely reformat your computer ok so that's a that's a that's a good indicator all right then welcome to your pc simplified this is the little brochure about Windows 7 some of the key new features all that good stuff there's your product key and then there are two windows seven disks one with 32-bit software and the other with 64-bit software thank you for checking out my video blog on my Windows 7 Professional upgrade unboxing
