Why is it called "upgrade"? What is being upgraded?

Not sure why they actually called it an upgrade. I just purchased one because somehow my original one that was attached to my external hard drive was not working properly. I used this to replace the damaged one. Works great now. Hope this helped.

I believe this upgrade is a single user license (it says so on my box) but you should check with Microsoft.

packaging states full version, not an upgrade.... but we have not used it yet.

The term "old version" is used by Asus. I don't know what they are referring to.

It is a full version, although, if you have 6, it will simply upgrade some things to 7.I have 8.1 and find it works just fine with same.

The 70 buck version is upgrade only. Course, down the road when your system crashes and you have to reinstall I wonder if they expect you to dig up the original version, install it, then install the upgrade over it? Strange, but yeah, the $70 dollar version is for if you already have some other version installed, I think as early as XP will work fine.

For me it was a great improvement since I upgraded from 2009. I especially like the fact that my information is only one file now. I did the Amazon download. Hope this helps.

Yeah you can upgrade even if you don't have the original or real version of windows only thing you need to know is when you upgrade you will lost your data unless you back it up on a external hard drive or usb

Mine was windows 8. Upgrade to 8.1 was free and easy. Most articles I've read say the upgrade to Windows 10 (looks like Microsoft is skipping 9.0) will be free as well.

I upgraded mine a few months back, but put it in another computer. Still working like a champ.

No. In fact, they moved a bunch of stuff around for no apparent reason and the program is significantly buggier and slower. I wish I hadn't upgraded. If you do upgrade, wait until around December after they have released a whole year of patches and fixes.

Here's the thing, I threw out the packaging. Either way, Monster still quarantee's that if product becomes obsolete, they will upgrade for free. I believe 15.8 is the current standard. Sorry not of much assistance.

I'm sure the upgrade is free. They're doing this to keep people from waiting for the release of Windows 7 before they buy a new computer.

The new spec release come in effect when they are incorporated in to new devices manufactured and media created to use it. If you are not buying new device with new spec then the upgrade is not required. In case you are upgrading the system (end-to-end) to utilize new capabilites of new spec then it might need an upgrade after review.

It is my understanding that upgrades are only for previous versions. I am fairly sure you can get an answer about this from the Filemaker site.
