I upgraded my computer (Packard Bell iMedia x2414) from Vista 32 bit to this Windows 7 64 bit and can honestly say it's the best money I've ever spent on my computer. It feels like the full power of my PC has been unleashed, it makes that much difference. Before I realized 32 bit Vista would only recognize 3Gb of RAM I upgraded it up to 4Gb so now that has also made a difference as the new OS recognizes the extra RAM. My Windows Experience Index scores have all jumped up (apart from the optical drive) eg the processor score has gone from 5.9 to 7.1, graphics from 4.5 to 6.9. It's just made the world of difference and it feels like a brand new computer instead of a three year old computer.
Windows 7 is way better than Vista and 64 bit is definitely the way to go. I love it!

This product dose just what it says on the tin, can not believe I did not upgrade sooner,my original vista system was so slow compared with windows 7!!
It is very easy to install I would defiantly recommend this to anyone who is undecided,go for it you will have no regrets.
If you are doing a full install I would advise downloading windows easy transfer this really makes the job very simple make sure you gather your driver discs, eg. for printer, monitor etc.
I was unsure about buying the OEM version over the Full version, as you only get one installation per serial number. But if, like me, you don't intent to be upgrading your motherboard anytime soon, this is the option for you, and its about £50 cheaper than the Full version.
You can re-install it onto the same machine if you need to re-format for any reason, as long as no components have been changed. eg. CPU Motherboard etc.
I hope this helps if you sitting on the fence.

Try and make head or tail of Microsoft's policy shift on the definition of a system builder. It used to be effectively "a builder of a system" but it appears now to be, depending upon where you read on their huge corporate site something akin to " a builder of a system for sale onto a third party". So if you build a system for your own use then it could be construed that you are not a sytem builder! If so, then to install this software on a PC that you have built for your own use appears to be technically illegal, but if you sell the machine to a 3rd party then it isn't. So that's cleared up that! The packaging also states that the preinstallation OPK package needs to be downloaded before installing Windows 7. Having read other reviews elsewhere it appears that this is not necessary and was certainly my experience.
So, Windows 7 64-bit itself. There are so many reviews on the product itself, I won't add to the debate other than to say that when installed on an SSD drive, boot-up time from start to user account logon (including the system pause for BIOS entry option) is around 15-20 seconds. Following user account logon being entered, it takes around another 15 seconds to load and use. All in all, very pleased with Windows 7 and a vast improvemnt over Vista.

As described, offical product. It came sealed and with its own product key like it should. I don't think there's a windows 8 pack out yet. But i wanted windows 7

Much better than Vista
Windows 7 is faster and much more stable than Vista. Booting time is so quicker. With vista I used to have frequent crashes which stopped after installing vista.

It's an operating system - what more is there to say?
Better than Vista (but what isn't?). It does what it says on the box. Had to install twice 'cos it got hiccups, but it's working.
