Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders

Comment:
Wanted an OS to take advantage of my newer hardware and migrate to 64 bit.Bought Pro for the extra features over home premium, just in case I ever need them.4 stars due to the lack of native 64 bit programs and drivers out there, I know not really MS fault, but it does affect what the OS can run vs XP.

Love all the new features of this OS. I had Win XP SP3 and went staight to Win 7 because of the great reveiws. The only real prob. i had was my Logetech G7 mouse quit working after an windows update. Had to use re-conect utill. for mouse. Have 750i mb, q8200, 4 gig ddr-2, gt 9600 video.

A total waste of money. Win 7 won't install on an Asus M3N72-D motherboard (bought 3 months ago as part of a barebones kit from Tiger) with 4GB of OCZ DDR2 800Mhz, even after flashing the BIOS for the latest update, wiping the disk and following every trick on the Asus forum boards regarding BIOS settings (even those who were able to install have stability problems). I strongly suggest you research install problems with your particular specs BEFORE you attempt to load Win 7. After wasting 3 days and seeing countless blue screens, I'm back with XP Pro. In my book, Microsoft has yet another lemon.

Installed this OS on my netbook, runs like a champ. Very good looking OS, easy to use, easy to understand and learn. Went from XP to 7 without going to Vista, so the learning curb was small.For some weird unknown reason Diablo 2 doesn't feel like running in Win 7 ... made me sad, but probably didn't affect my school work as much, so it's a good thing...right?

I have been using Windows XP forever, never try Vista and picked up Windows 7 Pro 64 bit for a new build since Win7 was getting such good reviews. I use Beta windows 7 and liked. Only problem I have is sometimes I have No connection or limited. But resolve uninstall driver and search and internet again. Shipping was fast, only 3 days to Puerto Rico. THX Tiger.

I was waiting for this for a long time. I have been on XP since the beta days and I was a beta tester for Win7 as well. Installation took 17 minutes on my Vertex SSD. Except for a very old webcam and my ATI 550 TV tuner, everything was recognized. Intel has dropped support for PCI nics so I had to buy a new PCI express nic to replace it. So far this thing is super stable and I love it!

Ya, just try surfing the web with this new highly censored web browser! I'll stick with hacked versions of xp 64 bit for now thank you!

I had vista 64, and thought it was running just fine on my built computer, but I thought if my machine runs this fast on vista, 7 should be blazing. Most of the os works fine, but everything having to do with the internet, is horrible. I have called 4 times for support from microsoft, and they dont know sht. I am done with microsoft.

I jumped from XP Pro 32bit to Windows 7 Pro 64bit, built the computer myself and installed the operating system without any issues. The look of Win 7 is much better then XP, lots of new features that make working with multiple files and programs a breeze. I would recomend this operating sytem to anyone. I have had no issues with any of my graphics and mapping software, even the 32 bit stuff installs and runs perfectly.

Great design and Microsoft don't always go together, but they do in Windows 7. Some users might take a while to get used to the new taskbar and Aero Peek, but they're a pleasure to use. Much better alternative/upgrade to Vista.

Well, I've been using XP forever and picked up Windows 7 for a new build since 7 was getting such good reviews. I've been running 7 for a while and so far I have not had any blue screens or any issues. Installation didn't take long and it worked with my system right out of the box. (Still installed drivers anyway) The interface is intuitive, easier to use and much smoother than my Vista laptop. I also haven't had any issues with gaming under 7, but that will take some time. Looks like I'll finally be retiring XP.

I had the beta on another computer it Crashed over and over again.. So I thought They must have fixed this But by Now So I purchased Win7 Pro.But Now on a totaly diferent computer it crashes. Get Hardware failure message on Blue screen. this is rediculas. Win Vista and XP run perfectly on this computer..if any one knows how to fix this it would be great. If it wasnt for this it runs better than any other Os I have ever used.When it stays running its fantastic.

Finally Microsoft did it. After moving to XP from 2K(which was bullet-proof), I was forced after the purchase of my last laptop to go to Vista and hated it. I had tested Win 7 out and was pretty happy with it so ordered the OEM Pro 64-bit version and after a full install 15-20 minutes and going to HP for new drivers, I have to admit that I am very impressed and have put it through the paces. If I were still running my own business I would feel very comfortable installing Win 7 on customers machines and standing behind it. There are a few things to get used to but plenty of resources online if you find any features that you are unfamiliar with as they have changed a few things but it is very easy to set up the way you like. And as usual, TigerDirect came through knowing their products, offering assistance and recommendations as well as letting me know the day it would arrive. Thanks again Tiger!!!

Fear not I have been running Windows 7 since the beta and I have have to say it is by far the most stable version of windows to date... Has loads of new features that people will want and out does XP by a mile... Most get for all..

This is an amazing operating system. I have been using the RC for months and picked up my copy on the release date. It took about 20 minutes to install and be on the desktop putting all my software back on. EVERY device, driver, piece of hardware, etc was recognized and had the latest driver downloaded and installed, this even included the nVidia control panel for my graphics card. Never had a single issue with the operating system. Network management is simple and easy to navigate and setup. The HomeGroup makes it quick and simple to setup a local network with my other computers and quickly share files between the computers in a fast and simple manner. I have been able to install every piece of software I needed without any trouble, a few things did need to use compatibility mode but once that was setup they too worked 100% without error. Win 7 is very sleek and I even have it on my Acer Aspire One netbook running without a hitch.

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die da ba dee da ba die i'm blue da ba dee da ba die da ba dee da ba die i'm blue da ba dee da ba die da ba dee da ba die I buy this product and all that i got is this song like 8 blue screeens. The only way I can install the OS was to disable every integrated device, to later find out that the drivers that come with windows 7 are causing problems. Chek, upgrades the drivers, chek my hardware was full compatible with windows 7 and still I got blue screen when windows want to. Here Don t want to give me a refund or change the product. Do yourself a favor a don't buy this. Trust me I just throw away $150 dollars

Seems to be a tweaked Vista64 to me. Other than Alcohol 120% needing to be updated, everything that ran on my Vista64 Ultimate worked flawlessly. Very Impressed how well XP mode works for older windows programs, especially ripping and copying software or 32bit programs that just dont run on a 64bit system... I love how the desktop background can essentially be a slide show. If you have a projector, desktop cloning is back. Multi-media streaming with multiple computers and devices, its just amazing! Its a geeks dream come true! Its not any faster or slower than my Vista64 Ultimate, uses about 200mb less... If you have a projector and a mean home theater, you can't go wrong with this operating system. In my opinion its Vista64 with alot better multimedia capabilities. For that reason alone its worth the cost. I'm not sure how this works, but Vista64 takes up 47gigs, whereas Win7 takes up 26gigs, same programs installed, drives cleaned etc....

I've been using it since the RC came out in may. Great operating system, feels responsive and noticeably faster than Vista. Very attractive too. Overall, it feels like a very good release.

MS Finally did something rite. I have been using the full version of Windows 7 64bit for several months now. This is a very fast easy to use OS. No support problems at all. There is so many new features I cant even imagine how they got them included and still keep Win 7 super fast. Take my word for it and buy WIn 7 you will not regret it...

I've had this OS for a few months since I discovered it on my school's MSDNAA. It was a huge step up from the RC for me, the memory footprint when down from 37-40% on boot to less than 30%. There are some amazing new productivity features included like stacks on the superbar (if you pin windows explorer, you can set your favourite folders like music, school documents, and etc). Aero snap is incredibly useful if you want to have a PDF running so you can read off of it and have Word open beside it, super speedy pinning!

I pre-ordered 7 two weeks ago and today the 22nd you are offering

Comment:
Thank you microsoft. Vista was nice but had some little issues but being working with computers all the time I got threw the problems. I haven't had and problems but I'm running 64 bit and some software is not read yet but in due time all will be good..

I've been using this since early 2009, I had vista 64 ultimate, bla bla and finally trashed it. Win 7 is quick, logical, and fun to use. The big test was when the motherboard died, I replaced it and connected the Win 7 hard drive, I had done this with XP several times over the years and had lots of problems. Win 7 launched, listed dozens of drivers, etc. and went to the web to get them. 20 minutes later TA DA! I'm still using it today.

This is one of the greatest OS I've used. Got the full Windows 7 Professional Edition for free from MSDNAA, I am reviewing the final product not the release candidate or beta. Windows 7 has improved my battery by more than 1 hour. With vista it usually took a while to turn on but with Windows 7 it's even faster than vista coming on through hibernation it evens turns off faster and restarts faster. Itunes used to be my main media player, now it's Windows Media Player mostly because of the taskbar integration and streaming. Gaming is also great with Windows 7, does not have problems playing old and new games. Haven't had any problems with programs and drivers. Also less annoying pop ups. I will recommend anyone that does not like vista to get Windows 7.
