    I recently purchased this item from Amazon, to upgrade my Acer Aspire One netbook, which came pre-loaded with Windows 7 Starter.

    I was fed up with the fact that you couldn't personalise your desktop and a few other little irritations that you suffer from with Windows 7 starter which is a very "cut down" version of Windows 7 Home Premium.

    I saw this Upgrade and thought that I would give it a try. It comes in a neat little box that contains the product key. There are no cds in the box. The upgrade is just done simply and fast online. Within 10 or so minutes, my Windows 7 Home Premium was up and running.

    No problems at all and it was well worth the effort and is very reasonably priced too. Superb delivery service from Amazon as usual.

    To clear up any confusion about this, as information in the description is not quite clear and could potentially confuse people.

    In this edition version, you require Windows 7 to be already installed, the qualifying version for this is Windows 7 Starter Edition, this is only for Computers that come pre-bundled with this version.

    If your looking to upgrade from XP or Vista, then you will require one of these versions instead:
    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Upgrade Edition for XP or Vista users (PC DVD)(1 licence)

    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack for XP or Vista users, 3 User Licence (PC DVD)(3 licences, family pack)

    Both come with the 32 and 64 bit Upgrade discs.

    I was a little confused as the description did not make it perfectly clear this package does not need a CD/DVD drive to upgrade. My netbook doesn't have one so I was a bit hesitant to buy but after some googling I was pretty confident. So this here is just in case anyone else is unsure!
