Windows 7 was built around your feedback, so you'll see a lot of things you've asked for. You asked us to make everyday tasks faster and easier, to make your PC work the way you want it to, and to make it possible to do new things. And that's exactly what we've done. See how it's come to life.
You qualify for Windows 7 upgrade versions if you're running genuine Windows Vista or Windows XP on your PC. If you’re running Windows 2000, you’ll need to purchase the full product and do a clean install.
