It state Express Upgrade cuz we r getting the Vista CD from Free Upgrade programme..Microsoft call it Express Upgrade. Im getting Home Premium. Packaging is just same as OEM package, Vista DVD, DVD Cover and small booklet.
*
Bro, no driver included from manufacturer? thats mean we have to prepare the driver before we trying to upgrade?

My status for my dell is still "Pending".

I don't get it.

Annoyed, considering it is "Express" upgrade.

Anybody else with a dell with the same status?
*
Haha! alot ppl will feel same like u do.. 'express' upgrade! Btw bro, i never have pending in my status until now ler.. Did u do everything they request.. like sent them the copy of your POP etc etc..

A bad news for all.. Seem the CDKEY given is for upgrade only..Means no clean install.. Must install from WinXP OS sad.gif
*
Omg! that mean we need to have XP OS ready before we can install Vista? DOH!!! i read some website they say no need to do that de.. sad.gif

u can circumvent this...

it's has been posted on the internet...i'll just repeat it...

1. boot your vista
2. don't input product key while installing
3. turn off automatic activation
4. choose your upgrade version
5. finish the installation
6. then boot vista installation from within vista
7. then input your product key
8. install as usual

done...
*
Yeah! DualShock you'r d man! i try to find this again just now! rclxms.gif Good 1 Dualshock!! notworthy.gif

Cheers!

Dear V3000,

Basically, there are few different SKUs for Vista. If you already have the genuine XP running, you have to purchase the upgrade pack. If you machine is naked, then you have to purchase the full version loh...
*
Im also 1 of the Express program menber.. just dont want to upgrade from XP.


QUOTE(accs_centre @ Mar 5 2007, 09:29 PM)
Sad news again.. I do clean installation from booting, no insert cd-key, successfully install..BUT can do activation as it say this cdkey is used for upgrade..So, need to upgrade from WinXP
*
Bro can u try validate it 1st? see what happen.. i read some other forum state that we can do clean install and validate our upgrade copy..

Cheeers! hope can hear good news from u.

Vista will ask u whether to do clean install or upgrade during second time.. Select the clean install and Vista still backup the 1st time vista into your new clean installed vista.. Later, u just delete the backup file in folder named 'old' in C:
