Solve : windows7 free upgrade?

1.	Solve : windows7 free upgrade?
Answer» hi, this might be a silly question but i am nothing about computer so please fogive me I just got a laptop with vista,it came with win7 free upgrade. but my bf also got a laptop a few month AGO, and he has already ordered win7 upgrade,waiting for it to arrive. my question is; can i upgrade to win7 with his cd? or each cd is made just for once(one pc)? Recently I just received my Windows 7 update. I had bought the stuff home and had to wait about two weeks for the update to come through. I had some difficulty installing it, until I realized I was using the wrong product key. I had to use the product key that came with the Windows 7 disk. Oh, by the way, it is not now a CD, it is a DVD. So you have to use a DVD drive to boot and install Windows 7. As far as I can tell, Windows 7 does not ask for the feast disk. So, I don't KNOW how to Windows 7 install DVD would know that it was only an upgrade, not a new install. But, it behaved LIKE a new install. Nevertheless, I am very sure that Microsoft will not allow you to use the window seven on more than one computer. Just as the visa was intended for just one computer, so likewise the upgrade is intended for just one computer. Does that answer your question? Anyway, with both Batista and Windows 7 you can use them for 30 days before the activation grace time expires.

Haha yeah I seen those remarks. yeah you can upgrade with his installation disk to the windows 7. BUT only one key per computer. So just use his disk if it comes earlier, install without key and then just input your key later on when you get your disk. Remember though to install the same version of win 7 that matches the key coming with your free upgrade (home, ultimate, etc)
