How many installations: I format my computer frequently, almost 2 times per year, and also updrade it with the same frequency (new memory, processor or video card) will this have install limits like vista does?

I would say as long as you uninstall from the old PC, then you should be perfectly ok to install on a new PC. I'm pretty close to needing a new computer, so I'm going to test down the road. If not, I will just purchase a new license. Thank you.

I wish that I could answer this with 100% confidence, but I can't. I'm guessing that you won't have any issues as it has all of the proper timings and settings. The install is very easy, so I would just try it out. Do give the system plenty of time to boot. First time I booted with the new memory, I "freaked out" a bit thinking that the system wasn't going to boot - AGAIN - with a memory upgrade. I had tried some other memory that I had laying around.... that was a flop! It did boot, it just seemed to take a bit longer than the first time. Good luck!

Before replying, may I suggest you get the newer version, CorelDraw X6. Another Amazon vendor is offering the X6 version for just a dollar or two more, which is the product I purchased just last week. You used the term "upgrade." However, nothing I noticed in the product I recently purchased identified it as an upgrade. On the "honor system," you're expected to be a home or student user, thus entitling you to purchase this full X6 version I purchased at a deeply discounted price. You'd also be entitled to making three installations and a license number was provided with the product, too. In other words, it's a full version, not an upgrade version. I installed it without a hitch. By the way, I'm also running Windows 7 Home Premium on an I5-3450 processor. So, as far as I can tell, you'd be perfectly "good to go" buying the X6 version I purchased for about the same price. Good luck with it.

Yeah, like anybody would want to mess around with Vista. LOL Have fun with your XP (and yeah, like you said, it does come on one disk).

This is a Dell Vista Reinstallation disc, but can be used as a clean new install. Do you know how to install a operating system? If so, you can format and do a clean install with this.

The memory is not upgradable as it is soldered to the motherboard. Personally I have run some games on high resolution settings and the gameplay has been excellent. Additionally, Windows 8 has been architected to be more efficient with the memory it uses so the higher memory requirements should not be an issue unless you plan on running Hyper-V or doing memory intensive type of computing.

You can always reinstall. After two times you will need call the Microsoft lincense 1800 number to allow additional installations.

I upgraded mine to 32GB of RAM and installed a 1TB SSD Drive. It literally rips !!!!! They can keep all the new W8 PC's.

An upgrade keeps other programs installed on the computer intact with no need to locate installation disks for those programs so in my opinion an upgrade is the preferred way to go. I am not sure if the upgrade must be from ultimate to ultimate version. My upgrade was from vista ultimate to windows 7 ultimate which was problem free.

If I recall the license allows 2 installations but read it carefully bc if you need to reinstall on an existing computer that would use up the other installation. We load all our languages on one computer for that reason

Many...way too many as far as I was concerned. I ended up deleting serveral of them. Some is Lenovo's and lots of third party stuff. If you are looking for a full office install, not there.

Brad I think as long as it is sata 2 or 3 you are good. Mine started as a vista I up to 7 it is so fast now for loading I love it.

It depends upon how much memory you have installed when you buy it. I bought 8GB of RAM. I will probably never fill it up.

The install routine will ask you where to install. When it does this you can choose to format the drive and then install. I like the others recommend a clean install.

Yes and I think there is even a version for 5 computers as well. I had it on 3 of mine, got a new PC, uninstalled off &#65279;the old PC and installed it on &#65279;the new PC in under 5 minutes with no problems.

Thanks for the info in re do-it-yourself upgrading to 2GB. I have a HP 210-1040 NR and would like to try an upgrade but would need at least basic instructions before I opened up my computer. Are such available, as far as you know? Thanks.
