How do I switch Windows 7 versions on two computers?

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009


I get Windows 7 Ultimate for free from work, and I bought a laptop with Windows 7 home premium. I was wondering if there was a legal way for me to get home premium on my desktop computer, because I want the ultimate version to be on my laptop.

I realize this question has been answered a lot, but I’m looking for a answer specific to my question. Thank you.

How can I properly install a custom made Windows 7 theme?

Friday, November 20th, 2009

I have found a couple but they aren’t installing to the effect that screen shots promised they would.

Is there a proper way to install a 3rd party (custom) theme for Windows 7? Or are the screenshots with the cool looking windows and menus just hocus pocus to get the download numbers up?
