Question by adc: How do you install Windows 7 without a keyboard?
I’m planning to install Windows 7 on my Mac mini via Boot Camp. I’m using an Apple wireless mouse and keyboard, which I doubt will work during Windows installation. I have a wired USB mouse but no wired keyboard, has anyone tried installing Windows 7 without a keyboard? Thanks.

    (ALMOST) As Easy as A, B, C, December 23, 2010
    Amazon Verified Purchase(http://www.amazon.com/gp/community-help/amazon-verified-purchase/181-0794563-0022752', ‘AmazonHelp’, ‘width=400,height=500,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,toolbar=0,status=1′);return false; “>What’s this?)
    This review is from: Microsoft Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade [Home Premium to Ultimate]

    I give this product 4 stars. 5 Stars for the quality of features unlocked and less 1 star for the hoops and hurdles involved in getting the Win 7 XP mode to be fully functioning.

    Well, if you were previously like me, having a Win 7 Home Premium O/S, hesistant about spending an extra US$129.99 (as at the time of writing) for an O/S upgrade, there are a couple of things you might want to know before taking the plunge.

    My Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q898 laptop (also bought from Amazon) came pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Unless you require practical features such as Bitlocker, XP Mode and the ability to use other languages for your O/S, the Ultimate edition is an overkill for the typical consumer. Well, as for “intangible” benefits, running Win 7 Ultimate comes with bragging rights too… ;) hee hee

    This product will only upgrade Win 7 Home Premium 32 Bit/64 Bit to Win 7 Ultimate 32Bit/64Bit respectively. It will not work with any other combination of OSes. For e.g., if you currently have Win 7 HP 32 Bit, you will only get Win 7 Ultimate 32 Bit, NOT Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit. Another e.g., if you have Win 7 Starter, Win XP (any variant) or Vista (any variant), this product will not work.

    This product does not come with any discs, neither DVD nor CD. You are actually purchasing a serial-number printed onto a little card. The card itself is enclosed in a plastic box the size of one’s palm. The plastic box is itself wrapped by a cardboard sleeve. This is what one would expect to physically receive from purchasing this product.

    On my system,it only took 5 mins to perform the upgrade. I attribute this to the SSD boot drive on my system. MS states that the upgrade will take 10mins. I reckon the other extra 5 mins is required for conventional systems which boot up from a non-SSD HDD. This is because your system needs to reboot a couple of times after the upgrade is performed.

    The actual upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate is the easy (as a,b,c) part. All you have to do is to follow a couple of instructions printed on the other side of the serial number card and key in the said number. You will unlock the Bitlocker and multiple languages features this way.
    The latter requires an additional optional download for your choice of extra language packs from MS Windows Update.
    Need to spell “gravlaks” or “krabbelag” in Norwegian? Well, now you know what’s been missing from your current OS installation. ;)

    However, getting the XP mode upgrade feature requires one to be more IT savy. Firstly, your processor must support Intel virtualization technology. You must also enable this in your BIOS. Next, you have to download 3 other files (of which 1 was and still is 500mb!!! in size) from MS Windows Update website. Getting the XP mode to work after you’ve done all the above requires one to Google for even more detailed instructions. So, be prepared to jump through a couple of hoops before you can actually run your older (non Win 7) programs under XP mode.

    HDD Considerations:
    Keying in the upgrade key will require an additional 10 GB of space as extra features are unlocked.
    Installing the XP mode requires an additional 1 GB of HD space.
    Actually using the XP mode may require up to an additional 15GB space.
    So if you cannot spare an extra 26GB of space on your HDD, you might have to reconsider purchasing this upgrade.

    Cost Savings:
    Amazon sells this for US$10 less than that at MS’ online store. With super saver shipping thrown in, what are you waiting for?

    After reading all the above details, I’m sure that you can now appreciate why I’ve chosen the “(ALMOST) As Easy as A, B, C” title for the name of my review. :)

    P.S. Norwegian “gravlaks” or “krabbelag” are not included. :)

    So far the OS is great. You save money when purchasing the upgrade but there is no disk. After you purchase the upgrade you must download it and then install it. Just remember to make a recovery disk after you upgrade your version of your OS and you’ll be fine.

    Most laptops (including the one I bought at the same time) seem to come with Windows 7 Home Premium (even those aimed at business users).

    Windows 7 Ultimate has the Bitlocker feature which encrypts your hard drive. It’s a very worthwhile feature on a laptop.

    The difference in price between the upgrade to Ultimate vs the lower priced Professional made this an easy decision.

    Too bad the prices aren’t this close in the regular upgrade editions.

    The anytime upgrade feature is quick and dirty. It involves entering the product key and a couple of reboots. It took me about 10 minutes to complete. The bits are already in your OS.

    You can actually do this all from within Windows (including the purchase of the Key from Microsoft), but you will save money buying it here instead.

    The packaging for this is overkill as it just contains a card with your product key printed on it (I am keeping the packaging though since it will lessen the likelihood of my misplacing the product key). The steps are the same, sans purchase.

  4. I love it. It works really well, it doesn’t stand out, and it’s not as annoying as the thing on Macintosh.

    It looks a little different at first; but it completely blends in as you continue using Windows

  5. Did someone ever thought about that: Just every second Version of Windows is good.
    98 good – 2000 bad – XP goood – vista bad – windows 7 best yet :)

  6. windows 7 is better in everything, apart from the fact that vista has the best movie maker software. and 7 has a RUBBISH one.

  7. if only 7′s paint and movie maker were as good as vistas for lazy people like me… lol

    xp is still too good though.

  8. Activate Windows 7, in 20 seconds! ( MAKE 100% GENUINE)
    officekey.blogspot.com/2010/12/activate-windows-7-in-20-seconds-make_29.html

  9. My windows vista or 7 don’t take over 3 seconds to logon because I have them in such good condition.

  10. @mighty3alloa I have had a Vista for 2 years, only one problem that were easy to fix. Then I reinstalled it in the summer holiday and I got about the same problem as you. Reinstalling it again fixed this though.

  11. @MACmaniac956 you’re lucky
    i had vista , it used to crash when i start the system , i removed most start up programs and made it look like the really old windows to make it work ok

  12. @mighty3alloa vista doesint crash when you open the browser 2 i have vista and its super fast and never crashed and i had it since 2006 and it never crashed

  13. @MACmaniac956 the difference is that windows 7 does not crash when you open your browser

  14. @MACmaniac956 I guess in the mac world things are only the same if they look the same

  15. Ugh.. My friend has Win7, and I HATED it! In my opinion, Vista is much better than 7. Does thast make me a wierd person?
