chaps , had a few friends hit by the latest win7 update that checks for a genuine install.
Just wondered if there was anything else around i can use to get round it or should i just re-install and disable updates ?
Cheers
could somebody please point me in the direction of a trustworthy copy of windows 7 on rapidshare, megaupload, netload etc.
plenty of google hits but i'm a bit paranoid to be downloading my OS from somewhere i have never heard of before.
Cheers,

x86 is the architecture of the cpu. it's the old 32 bit architecture if i remember correctly.Thanks for that hoppy.
Difference Between Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional & Ultimate Editions
will i really need ultimate?
the above link shows the difference but i dont know what the differences mean.
also have a laptop with genuine home premium. is it worth me upgrading to ultimate/professional and adulter my genuinety?
also can i get an 86 bit operating system or should i stick with 64? i have a pentium t4300 laptop and a t3200 laptop
i also have an x86 program files folder in the root of my c: drive.
whats all this about?

What windows do you currently have mate? It's most likely a 32bit computer and the x86 folder could be for anything. Have you looked inside it?cheers for that buddy.
where can i find out which version of windows i need for my particular cpu's as mentioned above?
if a cpu is compatible with 86 bit does that mean it is compatible with 64 bit?
if so which one is the best?
why is there an x86 program files folder on my computer?
Cheers,

ok thanks for that guys.
i already have a 64 bit operating system installed. so i can just install the 64 bit windows 7 professional.
my question is, is it worth me installing windows 7 pro over my current windows 7 home premium (genuine) on one of my laptops.

Don't forget XP Mode and Media Centre.For the average home user ther are two things that might be useful
- Remote Desktop Host. Allows you to control your PC from anywhere in the world. Though products like logmein.com can do the same thing but better.
- File Encyption. Allows to encrypt individual files.
Don't forget XP Mode and Media Centre.
-Media Centre is on HP and Ultimate.
-XP Mode is on Pro and Ultimate.
However, there are alternatives to both XP Mode (i.e. Virtual Machine) and media centre (e.g. media portal, XBMC etc).
