Description

Windows 7 Home Premium is a practical choice for users who need to run legacy software, maintain an older PC, or recreate a familiar Windows environment that remains simple to navigate. Its traditional desktop layout, Start menu and straightforward file management can be especially useful for home users who prefer the classic Windows experience over newer operating systems. At £29, it offers an accessible option for compatible hardware and specific legacy-use requirements.

Designed by Microsoft for home computing, Windows 7 Home Premium provides the core tools needed for everyday tasks such as managing documents, organising photos, browsing compatible websites and running supported applications. The familiar Start menu and taskbar make it easy to locate programs, switch between open windows and access frequently used files. This means less time learning a new interface and more time working with the software and files you already know.

Windows 7 Home Premium includes the Aero desktop experience, with visual window previews and improved window organisation features. Functions such as Snap allow users to position windows side by side quickly, which is useful when comparing documents, copying information between files or following instructions while working. Libraries help gather files such as pictures, music and documents into convenient locations, making personal content easier to find even when it is stored across different folders.

For entertainment and home media use, Windows 7 Home Premium was built with features for viewing photos, playing music and watching compatible video content. It supports a range of home-computing activities without requiring a complex business-focused operating system. This makes it suitable for a dedicated media PC, an offline family computer, a legacy gaming system or a machine used with older peripherals and applications that may not work correctly on more recent versions of Windows.

The product is Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, supplied at a price of £29. Compatibility depends on the computer’s hardware, available drivers and the requirements of the applications you intend to use. Before purchase, customers should confirm that their PC meets Windows 7 requirements and that drivers are available for essential components such as graphics, network adapters, printers and storage devices. The exact licence format, installation media and product key provisions should also be verified with the seller where relevant.

Windows 7 Home Premium can be a sensible solution for users maintaining specialist software, older games, legacy hardware or an established workflow built around Windows 7. It is particularly appropriate where a newer operating system would create compatibility issues or require unnecessary changes to a working setup. For security reasons, it is best suited to controlled, offline or carefully managed environments, as Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 in January 2020 and no longer provides regular security updates.

Choose Windows 7 Home Premium when your priority is continuity, familiarity and compatibility with an existing Windows 7-based setup. Backed by the Microsoft brand and offered at £29, it provides a recognised home operating system for users who understand their hardware and legacy software requirements. With appropriate compatibility checks and sensible security planning, it can deliver the dependable classic Windows experience needed for a dedicated older PC or specialised use case.

    7 is best

    I have used Windows XP since it first became available and found it to be a stable and very excellent operating system. I am running this on my desk top PC and shall continue to do so as long as possible. I now have alaptop PC running Windows 7 Premium and I am very impressed with 7, I find it very stable and organised and user friendly. particularly under the ‘computer’ functions and accessibility and set up. I am still in the learning stage on it in familiarising myself. Up to now very satisfied.

    Windows 7 Home Premium Full Version

    I ordered this at a good price in May 2011 at under £89 and I have been very pleased with it.I bought the full version because I have upgraded an old computer from Windows XP and if this should not work or I wish to buy a newer model without an operating system at a later stage I will be able to use it on the new machine.Windows 7 does everything I want it to and although a little more expensive than an OEM version it is worth it just for peace of mind.

    Windows 7

    This is a definate improvement on XP or Vista. Bill Gates has finally got it right. Very user friendly

  4. Triestino

    Fast and stable, but in the end just another MS operating system

    To begin with, I enjoyed using Windows 7, but perhaps inevitably, small niggles began to creep in, and nowadays I’m not quite so sure. The big advantages of Windows 7, as others have remarked, are its superior speed and stability – and on the cosmetics side of things, it’s easy to make it look very nice indeed. But problems nevertheless remain.I’m a keen photography enthusiast, and like all other digital camera owners, I rely on being able to load my photos directly and quickly from the camera to the computer – a task that in Windows 7 is handled by a built-in Microsoft utility called AutoPlay.Two days ago, AutoPlay suddenly stopped working on my computer and consequently I couldn’t transfer my photos via the camera’s USB cable in the usual way. I spent ages trying to overcome the problem, and even resorted for a while to loading the photos directly from the camera’s memory card – fortunately my computer has a memory card port. It then occurred to me that approximately at the time of the collapse of AutoPlay, I had uninstalled the W7-compatible shareware application Media Monkey. I re-installed the app and lo! AutoPlay began working again.When I investigated via the Internet, I found that the sudden disappearance of AutoPlay is a fairly common problem – in fact it’s a highly irritating glitch that Windows 7 seems to have inherited from Vista. Internet forums offer all kinds of complicated and sometimes barely comprehensible solutions devised by advanced computer geeks, but Microsoft doesn’t seem to take the problem all that seriously, and its advice, such as it is, certainly didn’t work for me.It may seem perverse of me to devote all this time banging on about a single problem that may not affect lots of Windows 7 users, but the fact is that this seemingly mundane incident has seriously dented my confidence in the operating system as a whole. I now use other allegedly W7-compatible applications in fear and trembling lest they too suddenly and inexplicably give up the ghost. Sadly, I’m forced to conclude that Windows 7 is not really the breakthrough that it’s sometimes made out to be, but is just another Microsoft operating system, albeit one that is somewhat faster and more stable than its predecessors.

    Great upgrade and easy to use OS

    I had been running Vista on my laptop that came pre installed.After the years warranty had expired, I decided to clear out all the pre installed programs, and start fresh with 7.This also meant I could run 64bit to make use of the 4Gig of RAM.Thirdly, I was looking for power saving which I was informed 7 offers over Vista, it does indeed run easier on my processor, and non active screen dimming etc all help when I am running on batteries.Overall 7 is simple to use, much the same as Vista, some nice extra features, though I am sure there are lots I have not used.The only problems I had was finding all the drivers for my hardware, but bit by bit I have got there.I would recommend this to anyone with XP or Vista

  6. J. Clarke

    An early transition

    I planned at the start of the year to wait until Autumn at the earliest to upgrade to Windows 7 as I felt that for all its new features a new PC would be required. However, due to a nasty virus, which couldn’t be fixed with a simple XP repair, and the mislaying of the Win98 disc needed to reinstall my XP upgrade version, I had no choice but to format and go ahead with purchasing it earlier than expected for my almost 4 year old Dell Dimension Pentium 4.I was fully aware that due to having no graphics adapter other than the one provided onboard by Intel and the lack of a requisite slot for simply buying a new one that Windows Aero would be out of the question; yet as I still plan on buying a new PC later in the year, having to wait a little longer to use this feature didn’t especially bother me.As someone who has never used Vista, I can only compare it to XP and the difference for me is enough to feel very happy with the ever costly endeavour of upgrading. I’m also pleased that when I finally do buy a new system, I won’t have to pay yet again for the 64-bit version.

  7. E. T.

    Microsoft Windows 7

    This is the best OS from microsoft yet. The only drawback is that they did not include outlook express or make it compatable with os 7. They are trying to make you use Windows Live so if you don’t want to use Windows Live (I don’t) you have to find another e-mail client. This is why I only give it a “four star rating”. Fortunately there are plenty e-mail clients out there. Outlook does work with os7 as does Incredimail.

    got this to improve my gaming experience and glad i did too as i get windows 10 for free soon.win 64 system allows for use of more pc memory which is essential for high end gaming

  9. Adrian Mallon

    Solid

    Well, it’s easy to install and it works. I can’t fault it. I was too nervous to install Windows 8 on my new build but Windows 7 seems solid.

  10. James W

    great easy to load works a treat

    upgraded from Vista to window 7 and it has made a big difference in how the pc works .great

  11. Laura Castro Espinoza

    As good as promised!

    Super quick shipping, great communication and everything worked exactly as promised and like a genuine MS. There is no difference, except you won’t have the fancy packaging. Brilliant.

  12. April Boyer

    Finally a Windows that “just works”

    Admittedly, it only just works if all your computers are running windows 7, but still. Example: I tried for months to find a way to get our house computers to all print to a printer on one of them, but no matter what I tried, I couldn’t do it (1 with XP and two with Vista). I upgraded my desktop and then got a new Win7 laptop, and as soon as I joined the homegroup when setting up the laptop, it already had the printer installed and set to default. I didn’t have to do anything! Everything I’ve used it for is great, and don’t worry about older programs working with Home Premium. Everything I’ve installed from my old computers has worked fine so far.

    My Apologies to the Vendor

    My experience falls under the category of naive buyer beware.While I did a fresh install on an existing drive (MacBook), I was ignorant of the fact I was not buying a retail product. I had searched on Windows 7 at the keyforrest retail site. I did not understand what I read. My mistake, not that of OutletPC.From the vendor:System Builder (OEM) cannot be used to validate an existing copy of Windows, or to upgrade from another Operating System. You have to do a fresh install on a new computer, or format the Hard Drive on an existing system, then reload the Operating System from scratch.From the ManufacturerUse of this OEM System Builder Channel software is subject to the terms of the Microsoft OEM System Builder License.

  14. William Dobbins

    good price for this I suppose.

    leave it up to microsoft to sell an os for a fraction of what the office software costs…I like Windows 7, windows 8 sucks unless you use something like classic shell to get the feel of 7 but whatever…I get pissed when the software costs so much. In fact I just bought windows XP Pro 4 years ago and I am pissed that this will be the last year Microsoft plans to support it. I like xp better because of the customization ability like TinyOs, and such…anyway, this is 7 whatever…if you need an os 7 is best, and keyforrest has the best price.

  15. Catfishsushi

    Good stuff!

    With the System builder kit you have full support from Microsoft for this product. 64 bit computing is much faster and smoother than a 32bit, that is, you can utilise ALL of your system’s RAM for your OS, not just a fraction. The features are just what you’d need for gaming and surfing the Internet.

  16. furfoot

    Still the best.

    Fixed all the problems with Vista and has great driver support with windows update. Interface is far easier to use than 8 which is a nightmare.

  17. Boo

    Love the program

    By far a better program than Vista & XP. Easier to use and more user friendly. My next adventure will be a ultrabook with Windows 8

  18. DanShaw

    It seems to work good enough

    It works, didn’t solve some computer problems I was having. This review doesn’t really matter since Win 7 is outdated.

  19. Neal

    Great low cost version of windows 7

    I did have some issues initially getting online because I couldnt use my wireless card, bit worked fine with ethernet. So far, no other isdues with this copy of windows. It is OEM, but that is why its cheaper.

  20. Kris Olson

    Perfect

    Worked exactly as I needed. Needs your typical updates but they come automatically if you don’t want to keep updating and searching for the updates.

    Windows 7

    I purchased this operating system to upgrade a laptop that was running XP. Installation was very simple. The program located all the laptops drivers and runs without a hitch.

  25. James D. Lundeen

    Wrong Item Ordered

    Actually, the purchase was my mistake. I ordered and received Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit. What I need for my computer is the same Windows 7 32 bit. Is there a way I can exchange the 64 bit for a 32 bit version of Windows 7? Please advise.

  26. Brian

    Simple and awesome!

    Total breeze to set up and my machine runs like a champ! Long overdue upgrade from XP, debated between 7 and 8 for a while. Could not be happier!

  27. rdp2011

    Very easy install click and go!!

    Easy as 1-2-3 install was very simple and no computer maker pop-ups. This full system is what I needed. A little pricey but Microsoft needs the money right ???

  28. DTT

    Perfect

    The ability to run windows on a Mac is great. It’s like getting the best of both worlds. Shipping was quick and the price is very reasonable. I’m very satisfied with purchasing Windows 7 from keyforrest.

  29. Bob

    Can’t load McAfee virus software on this OEM software

    I have the latest macbook pro with the latest snow leopard OS. I purchased both the latest parallels along with the above described version of windows 7 from keyforrest. The advertisement via keyforrest on this version didn’t mention that it is an OEM version and that you cannot get support help from microsoft. The problem I encountered was the downloaded McAfee virus software that would not install on my computer. I spent two hours on line with the parallel troubleshooter representative to no avail. They even took admin control of my computer. They determined that the problem was with the windows desktop software and they suggested that I contact microsoft for help. I did call microsoft and they informed me that they don’t provide support for the OEM version. I just waisted $99 and have lost confidence in both keyforrest and microsoft!!

  30. T.Bishop

    Good

    Installed with no problem. Good quality

  31. keyforrest Customer

    Speedy 7

    A much better OS than the ‘Vista’ that it replaced, installation was easier than anticipated. Most impressive was the free delivery I was expecting it to take around 5 days, it arrived in just 2 days – well done keyforrest.

  32. ric

    microsoft

    Delivery was prompt. As for the os. Well its microsoft what else can you say. Im just glad they came out with some thing better than vista!!!

  33. marco castagnetti

    Windows 7

    There are plenty of fake windows service packs on the market for a cheaper price but ask yourself is it worth damaging your computer to save yourself the little extra cash.?.

  34. Jimmy cooper

    Love it

    Does what it says on the packet. Installs windows 7 but I have moved on to windows 8 and I would recommend windows 8 if im honest

  35. Grant

    A Windows 7 Installation disk…

    It’s a disk and has on it what it says it does. It works. In that respect it’s great. It also got delivered quite quickly, so that’s good too.

  36. Chris Buse

    it arrived with no cert of auth and no shiny microsoft sticker

    BUT, I called keyforrest, I sent the one I had back and they sent me another one and we were both happy, I was real happy with the excellent customer service…again. product installed no problems or incompatibilities. So, it was a great experience….it was as if Microsoft wasn’t involved anywhere in the transaction…and that is VERY good

  37. Justin

    Exactly what I wanted!

    I’m not a fan of Windows 8. This is still the best main stream OS on the market that runs the software I need day to day. It came with the disk and key.

  38. R. Mazzeo

    Just what I paid for

    Hard to “rate” a software purchase when I knew exactly what I was getting & how it would perform. Needless to say (but I’m saying it anyway), worked as expected.

  39. Beri

    Best Version of Windows

    I’ve been a WinXP user for years. I wanted to upgrade, and after trying Vista, 7 and 8…this version is by far better choice.

  40. Gypsycat

    Greatest windows os yet!

    Here’s my opinion… If I were to describe Windows 7 I would say it is the most fastest, stable, user friendly experience ever made for a windows. I’ve had 2 experiences windows 7 first one was on my old Pentium 4 computer that I’ve been using for 3 years now and its never gotten a virus, to be honest with you I personally think Microsoft finally mastered windows. Then I was so satisfied I got windows again for new gaming desktop. Here’s what windows is good at:If you’re into customization, gaming, internet browsing, entertainment, business use, or want something that will last 3-8 years then windows 7 is perfect for you.If you want something that’s overpriced by 100’s of dollars, paranoid about viruses, only good for video editing, and want something that gets outdated in 6 monthsthen buy a mac.(this scale should help you decide)Pros: very, very nice yet affordablecons: you can’t upgrade your motherboard, and one minor thing… it didn’t come with a windows 7 sticker!!!And Thanks for reading… Hope you enjoyed my review! 🙂

  41. Richard B.

    Would not Install

    Could not use it as it would not install on a system that came with Win 8 Web search said many people had this same problem, it would just hang during the installation. Installed Umbutu operating system instead. Will sell this to whom ever.

  42. Jim Holloman

    Invalid disc, may be a Counterfeit Copy of an Upgrade

    Invalid disc. Apparently, an Upgrade disc; No Product Key; No COA provided.First of all, I have talked with a supervisor at keyforrest — and asked her to take appropriate action. She has agreed to do so. I would advise not ordering this item until the issue is corrected and the inventory is culled of all illegitimate copies.While there have been many happy customers, a few of us have received invalid or counterfeit copies of this software. I counted 12 reviews indicating `counterfeit’ so I figure around 2 percent or less.This package arrived like a wine bottle filled with water rather than wine. The exterior printing and packaging looked legit. Also, the User’s Guide on the inside showed quality printing. However, the disc was upside down with the printed side facing downwards and the recording side facing upwards. There was no Product Key nor COA (Certificate of Authenticity) included. The disc also had faint lines on the recording side that were similar to the water marks that some fabrics will show when they get partially wet. The printing (label) on the disc was Black and White with no other colors used. The disc, near the center is marked, in the plastic, “Made in Puerto Rico” and either “X17-58399(M04W)14” or “X17-58399(Mo4W)14”. The printing on the label shows “6/11 X17-03404-02”. So, the two numbers do not agree.I proceeded with installing the software to a newly formatted disk to see what would happen. I got the error message, “Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate and existing system partition. Set the setup log files for more information.” So, the included disc was apparently an Upgrade Disc rather that an OEM or System Builder disk.I then created a system partition with an XP disc and tried again. The install then proceeded to the point where it asked me to enter the Product Key.So, it appears that someone gained access to a legitimate Windows 7 package, removed the disc and the Product Key and the COA and then inserted a copy of an upgrade disc. But, it is hard to know exactly what occurred. They pirates could have just replaced the original disc with a blank disc – or with nothing. But, I guess they wanted to try to confuse the user, and perhaps the supplier as well, by making the switch look like something other than a theft.I build my own systems so I like the idea of being able to purchase a Systems Builder disk at a discount. I don’t need any hand holding nor support unless a program has a bug. And, I would rather not pay for support that I don’t need. So, I am hopping that keyforrest gets the supply chain cleaned up and can continue to offer the System Builder discs with full confidence that the package is legitimate. In the meanwhile, I will have to look to a couple of other sources. Unfortunately at least one customer has reported a counterfeit disc at one of the alternate sources.

  43. Payless!

    More user!

    This product should be used for more that one computer in the household, been as it is the full vision and cost so much money.

  44. WRETCHED

    Good product.

    I installed this with no problem and then activated with no problem. I did read reviews saying that activation would be a problem if I had to replace my motherboard and processor as the serial number is linked to the motherboard on activation. I will only find this out when I have to upgrade again but for now it works great.

  45. Justin Gross

    Good price.

    Remember that OEM means you get the disc and once you activate it stays with that one motherboard. Windows 7 is the only OS i use and is great for computer gamers.

  46. Jonathon Kobyluck

    As Advertised

    I encountered no problems when using Boot Camp to enable my Mac to boot natively to Windows 7. It runs flawlessly!

  47. Nick

    awesome

    worked perfectly. had no troubles. still working great. I’m writing this review on a the very computer that I have installed it on right now! 😛 thanks!

  48. Janeta

    Worked Perfectly

    Purchased this software to upgrade our older HP Laptop’s OS from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium. No problems with the installation, everything went very smoothly and Windows 7 is a joy to use after the dreadful Vista. Would recommend to anyone who is thinking about upgrading – we are not all that computer literate, but did not experience any problems during installation. Everything now runs much faster and no crashes yet and this Windows version is better in so many ways.

  49. Todd

    OEM version – heads up

    Not much to say. Its Win7. This is the OEM version, which means it is tied to a motherboard. No big deal because if you ever rebuild your rig with a new mobo, you call Microsoft and tell them what you’re doing and they will issue a new key.This was delivered to my front porch via UPS within 2 days of ordering along with the rest of my computer components for a new build. keyforrest did a great job bundling the shipment to reduce shipping costs.Windows 7 64bit is a kabillion times better than the 32 Vista I was running. I’m really enjoying this new OS. Not to mention I can now use more than 4gb of RAM. Highly recommended.
