Hi GS

To do a inplace upgrade repair or at least getting a computer repair man to do it. He says it cannot be done unless SP1 is uninstalled. PS: and it is, with the greatest respect, no good telling me it can be done, because I am not confident enough to do it. I can follow the instructions but in my experience doing things with computers don't always go to plan and it is that that bothers me because I do not know enough (not much at all) to get me out of a jam if everything does not go to plan.

Kind regards

Does your Windows disc have sp1 built into it?

If not you would have to download a copy of Win 7 with sp1 installed (any version of windows 7 should suffice even if you have to borrow a legit copy from a friend).

Otherwise to uninstall sp1

Remember to backup any data you wish to keep before attempting.

Remember to download all necessary Drivers before attempting.

GS Thank you for your response. I do not have a Windows Disk with SP1 or otherwise, It is a OEM Windows. I cannot uninstall SP1 because I used Disk Cleanup since installing SP1, the backup files needed to uninstall the service have been deleted. The computer repair guy says that the Windows 7 downloaded from the anywhere on the internet are not 'Official Microsoft Windows' and cannot  be trusted to work.

Kind regards

GS: Thanks. I believe you. In fact I was confident that they genuine before I posted.

Kind regards

PS: I forgot, the computer repair man said it wouldn't matter if windows from digital river were genuine SP1 still needed to be uninstalled to do an inplace upgrade repair.
