upgrading from vista to windows 7 home premium – part 2

Posted by on 2011/10/13 No comments

Well, I ran into another problem after I did upgrade to windows 7 home premium: I needed more space to on the second partition of the 100gb hdd to accommodate all the updates needed for the os to run smoothly.  I also installed visual studio 2010 on it which really takes a lot of hard disk space.

The first partition (which contained windows server 2008 hpc edition) had some extra space.  So i needed to move some space about 10 gb from this partition to w7 partition.  I researched for partition software and i came accross easeus.  EaseUS helped a great deal to move about 10gb from first partition to the second.  Now I have enough space in w7 to accommodate all windows updates (specially visual studio sp1) and workspace for normal functioning of the os.

Windows keys for less???

Posted by on 2011/10/01 1 comment

Beware of websites that claim to sell microsoft windows keys for a very less prices!

As I was doing some research today on an entirely unrelated subject(windows drivers for Holux GPS receiver), i came accross (probably, via google ads) a website called keyoem.com and wanted to buy one of those keys to upgrade my windows 7 home premium to business/ultimate.  The price they had put on their site was less than $35.

But, before I did do the purchase, I wanted to see if it was a scam.  So i did a search on google with “windows key scam.” Lo and behold, i got several hits.

These websites look genuine, and even have Microsoft partner logos on them.

The first one was from technonsense.com.  This is an article that i took time to read and it saved me $35.

Here is a link to the full article.  Thanks to technonsense.com, who has done a great job with this regard.
