Win7 pro upgrade is what I'm curious. Guess its not a big deal, I wanted to try to retain the programs with the upgrade and have the pro iso too. I assume the iso will be online to grab all over the net soon. From what MS posted, upgrading from Win 7 Pro will not retain the Programs only from Home Basic or Home Premium. Hopefully we'll get that clarified soon. Joe P

I think we are getting closer to the real story which most likely will be verified with the posting of actual experiences. Joe P

If your PC is running Windows XP or Windows Vista, you will need to reinstall your apps. Some features such as touch may require a new PC. To check compatibility, visit your PC manufacturer’s website and check out www.windows.com/upgrade to run the Upgrade Assistant to check for compatibility and get more details on system requirements.

joepwpb Premium Member join:2000-12-15 West Palm Beach, FL	joepwpb Premium Member 2012-Oct-26 11:11 pm You're correct, they did change the product page dramatically. The second post in this thread shows the original wording (it is the section shaded in Red) which states that only 7 Basic and Premium retain the programs. Joe P
