822824	2009-10-21 23:55:00	Afternoon all. Im looking for clear easy to follow advice please. Is there a link to go to to buy the upgrade? How big is it? How long does the upgrade take - not the download - the upgrade? Is this a simple changeover?	Lovelee (6586)
822825	2009-10-21 23:56:00	OO thanks sorry if there is already a thread on this	Lovelee (6586)
822826	2009-10-22 02:25:00	You can buy it online at most retailers such as PlayTech, Computer Lounge etc You cannot download it online(unless you have a subsciption to Technet or have access to MSDNAA) Upgrade times can vary depending on specs of the machine and amount of data. About 2-5 hours, some say even more. Blam	Blam (54)

822828	2009-10-22 04:14:00	A lot has to do with the speed of the PC- its been reported many times an upgrade can take anywhere from 2 - 25 hours (that time is not a typo either)	wainuitech (129)
822829	2009-10-22 06:09:00	+1 for Wainuitechs thoughts, do a clean install, not an upgrade :)	Chilling_Silence (9)
