Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

Comment:
Great OS. Been using it on my laptop for 3 years and just bought a copy for my in-laws to upgrade their XP Home computer before XP goes end-of-life.

Went to this from XP and jumped over Vista. Works good, less bulky then vista. No real complaints. Good option if you want to play all games out there while linux catches up. Might switch when it does.

Took about 2 hrs to wipe HD and install W7 64bit...found all of the drivers on installation except a TV card. Changed to 64bit programs when they were available and when not reinstalled my 32bit programs which run just fine.

Great OS from Microsoft !

I have been using Windows 7 since Launch. This OS is far more stable then any of my XP / Vista systems. Only have one system with Home Premium. all the others are Ultimate. Highly recommended.

If you are still using Windows Xp or below this would be an awesome upgrade.

FAST, EASY AND SMOOTH OS. WORK WONDERFULLY ON i7 SYSTEM.

My first OEM software purchase, working on upgrading some computers for my workplace. Before I even opened it I read the outside of the package that MS requires this software to have an OPK (preinstall kit) and that I have to be some sort of registered service technician. Got me all worried till I read on the NCIX forums that it's all just rubbish and to go ahead and install it anyway. I did, everything worked out just fine ;)

always owned windows. thought about going with Windows 8 for this new build, but it's really more geared towards touch-screen technology. not what i want for my desktop system. i'll stick with the OS i already know inside-out. it's just easy.

Given all the hullabaloo with the Windows 8 Metro interface and the removal of the Start menu, I picked this up for $85.Unless you're a power user, you won't miss too much the additional features of the Pro version, outlined in the following URL:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editions

I went from Windows XP to Win 7 and I like some of the additional features. The gadgets that u can pin onto the desktop is useful, like the weather. The ability to right click on minimized tabs give more options and is a plus. I plugged in my new printer and it auto downloaded the Drivers for me, and I don't need to waste time on it, which is great!I didn't go with Win 8 cause it looked like they were building and optimizing it for the handheld, and Win 7 is more compatible with games.

Comment:
would prefer over windows 8 any day. Had this forever no problems.

Comment:
product speaks itself. runs smooth on my new build PC

Comment:
Got this to insure myself against win 8 and now I have a physical disk from Microsoft for my other digital win 7 installations.

Comment:
I'd take Windows 7 over Vista any day. So far it's working great and I'm sure the SSD drive, quad core CPU, and 16 GB of ram help big time ;)

Nxic got the best service and prices on the net

After trying WIN 8 I made the decision to pick up a couple of extra copies of 7. One for a PC I'm building for someone else and one to keep back for when I sell this machine so I can hold on to my PRO copy. First time since 200 I didn't jump right on the relase of a new OS. Going to hold out for 9 and hope it's better than 8

Comment:
Windows 7 is probably the best operating system avaliable right now. Windows 8 might replace it but its interface if still top notch.

Comment:
Windows 7 is not going anywhere anytime soon. Still a great OS to buy, especially since Windows 8 needs a little more time to work out some compatibility issues.

Comment:
The new Windows xp.Fast, secure, minimal interface.Free express shipping, arrived day after ordering.Kudos to NCIX.

Comment:
No need to change to windows 8 for metro. Classic Microsoft interface with good speeds.

Comment:
64 bit means more ram :)I had a lot of problems making the home network run with a windows xp in it :(

Comment:
I needed to upgrade 2 desktops one XP & one Vista and I wasn't sure if I should get 2 Win 8 so I got 1 of each. I like the classic interface of WIN 7 but WIN 8 looks much cooler. I don't regret having 1 of each. They should be good for a little while or at leat until Microsoft stops supporting WIN 7 ;) This review was modfied by poster @ 11-25-12 09:35 AM

Its Windows so information security is always something to think about. Comes with Windows Security Essentials and Windows Defender but both are intial forays into internet security and still need improvement. No worries though if you download and install some free security software from the many other providers. Feel confident in your purchase.

After more than a year using Microsoft Windows 7, I can say without a doubt it is the real successor to Microsoft Windows XP. It's fast, reliable and it Just Works™.
