I have a Dell XPS 8500, with Windows 7 Professional, SP1,
with Spywareblaster, Malwarebytes, Avast , Windows Defender and Windows firewall. (1) TB HD Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-33-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz Ram 12.0 GB System type : 64-bit operating system I also have I have a Dell Optiplex 780 Tower, with Windows 7 Professional, SP1, with Spywareblaster, Malwarebytes, Avast , Windows Defender and Windows firewall.

My question is it OK to do this? or will it screw things up for me? Thanks, Robert |

If you don't have a key to type in, it can't work. The reason this works, is the OS installation contains files for more than one version of Windows 7. If you enter the $$$ new key you paid for, this "authorizes" the linking in, of files from WinSXS to the system folder. And this changes the version of Windows 7. Since you already have Pro, the only edition higher for you is Ultimate. And that stopped being a good deal a long time ago (no more special stuff being added for Ultimate). Just ignore it, and continue with what you were doing. You've already got the "best" version. Paul |

I knew you'd have the answer for me.
In passing, I have been diligent in creating Mrimg back-ups and everything seems to be working fine. Thanks, Robert |

But that's you all over. alt.windows7.general Why did you not mention this? Don't be shy, tell us. |

You might ask in the right NG. He is coming in via Google Groups. Google Groups carries microsoft.public.windowsxp.general but not alt.windows7.general. Alt.windows7.general is not archived in Google Groups. Only articles which are cross-posted, may accidentally get archived and show up in a search. Google is missing a bunch of alt.* groups, and that happens because there is no "newgroup" path in alt, to automatically enable them. On regular news servers, alt.windows7.general is added by hand. You must contact an Administrator to get it done. Where is the Administrator on Google Groups ? Etc. To ask in the right NG, he would need to: 1) Install Thunderbird. 2) Configure for one of the free newsservers that uses NNTP protocol. 3) Update group list. 4) Select alt.windows7.general and "Subscribe". Then go back to the groups list and list the headers in the group. This is a lot different than the Google interface. You're free to write up a primer if you wish... :-) Don't forget to include pictures. Paul |
