A million thanks! Yep, into old menu and b gets it. It's got a brand new sub menu for the monitors but they seem to be doing much the same.

I don't know. I'd never have looked in there - it kind of put me in mind of help for wobbly old people . . . oh, wait . . .

While searching for another answer I came across this. I don't fully understand, but I gather it's an issue about having to extensively update the new download - or not.

I was looking to see if I could upgrade my PC from W7 home (OEM) to pro, and 64bit as well. I know it wouldn't be free, but wondered if there was a path and if the cost might be erm, promotional.

Given MS are not at all fond of OEM packs being sold to the public* ( I phoned them about mine) I imagine even if there was a route to a version upgrade, the OEM packs might be excluded.


* I recall us discussing OEM packs some years ago. BTW. They have let me reinstall on a new hard drive after my carry-on disc didn't survive airport security.
