Note: if you are planning to use XP Mode, do not get this edition!

yes you need to supply a valid tx2 serial. this is windows 7 full, after all, and you can't get it for this price if you don't own a qualifying machine.

I just went on to the upgrade site to order it and its not free. It says the software is free but 'theres a charge for putting together the software' and postage (UK)! This surely cannot be right?

This product is currently not available for international shipping.

Please contact HP support at 1-800-HPI-NVENT (1-800-474-6836) for help in obtaining this Driver disk.


Way to screw Canadians over HP.

It is not free. Has always been this way, since Vista days for all recovery disks (aka original factory image).

I heavily think that that is a money grab. Restore Media SHOULD ALWAYS BE INCLUDED WITH THE UNIT. We should NOT have to MAKE them or ORDER them.

Such is a money grab and just pure LAZINESS on the PC Makers.

Yes. Dell always have provided dvd copies of the windows and drivers with the machine. Anyway this is not backup - this is an upgrade. It should be available at zero cost to download. We paid enough money for the machine as it is. Otherwise people might download a pirate copy!

Free upgrade!? We were conned!

October 21, 2009 5:16 PM

I wasn't conned ;)

I also did not order the upgrade media. They took enough of my money, and I can make a better restore disk(s) than they would provide any day.

How can you get offical Windows 7 otherwise?

October 21, 2009 5:43 PM

hmm.....maybe....buy it?

--Thats how I did it.

There are also incredible deals to be had out there.

Or stick with Vista. Vista is just fine.

October 21, 2009 7:28 PM

All I request is, anyone who orders this, can you please finish around in the c:\swsetup folder once installed and find the latest ntrig drivers to share to the rest of the tx2 users out there?

October 22, 2009 10:04 PM

Wow.... Thanks for this info and the link.. I just ordered my Recover disks.. I guess I will save my Windows 7 House Party Install disks for another computer.

does this mean i would have to have a existing premium 7 home key? i only have a professional key would this work? and why wouldnt xp compatibility mode work?

October 23, 2009 11:29 AM

XP Mode and compatibility mode are two completely different things.
