2	You cannot use a Windows 7 Upgrade on a computer unless a valid, activated copy of Windows XP, Vista or 7 is currently installed. answered Aug 12 '12 at 19:58 Tim Fontana 15.5k●136●202●377

0	if your old version of window is not a legal copy or coming up as valid, an upgrade will not work, you need an original copy with it's validation code. answered Aug 13 '12 at 20:46 lasaboy 561●1●3●12
