| 1181301 | 2011-02-25 00:57:00 | I will hold my hands up, I am running a pirated copy of Windows 7 Professional. I want to go legit and buy a copy, is may not be Windows 7 Professional because I don't need all its functions. The question can I keep all installed programs and install Windows 7? |

Using illegal programs sooner or later will come back to bite ya where you sit one way or another :D Best bet, save any data, reinstall W7 Legally, then put the programs back. |

If you REALLY want to avoid that, if you got a legit copy of Win7 Pro, you *may* be able to do an upgrade install, which would keep your data and software. All depends on how much the pirated cope has been messed with. A fresh install is always the best option in this case. |

That and Nathan Mercer from Microsoft lurks these forums, I'm not sure how happy they would be about that ;) Welcome to the Forums, but I suggest you make a new Username, and start off on a slightly better note here. |
