Windows 7 Ultimate - Perpetual License

Windows 7 Ultimate is the top edition of the Windows 7 operating system released by Microsoft in 2009: everything from Home Premium and Professional plus extras reserved for this edition, such as BitLocker drive encryption and language packs to switch the display language. It suits users who want one Windows 7 edition with nothing missing: home PCs, small offices that join a domain or use Remote Desktop, developers who need Windows XP Mode and, today, older machines and virtual machines that run legacy programs. What you buy is a product key for Windows 7 Ultimate: the key is entered during installation or later in the System window and activates the copy on the PC; it accepts both the 32-bit and the 64-bit installation media of this edition and is not an Anytime Upgrade key.

This product is a perpetual license key for Windows 7 Ultimate: it does not expire and can be used on 5 PCs running Windows. The key is delivered by email together with the activation instructions.

Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 in January 2020: the system still installs and activates, but it no longer receives security updates and many current browsers and programs have dropped it. Ultimate remains a practical choice when you need the full Windows 7 feature set for legacy software, for a PC that cannot run Windows 10 or 11, or for a test machine, ideally kept away from untrusted networks.

Key Features:

• Everything from Home Premium and Professional: Aero desktop with Peek, Snap and Jump Lists, Windows Media Center, HomeGroup and Libraries, plus domain join, Remote Desktop host, Encrypting File System and Backup to network drives.
• BitLocker and BitLocker To Go: Full-drive encryption for the system disk and for removable USB drives, exclusive to Ultimate and Enterprise, protects data if the computer or the stick is lost or stolen.
• Multilingual user interface: Language packs downloaded through Windows Update let you change the whole system language, so one installation can serve users who work in English, German, Russian or other languages.
• Windows XP Mode: A licensed Windows XP virtual machine, run through Windows Virtual PC, keeps older programs working inside Windows 7 when they refuse to run natively.
• 32-bit and 64-bit versions: The edition exists in both architectures: the 64-bit version addresses up to 192 GB of RAM and supports two physical processors, the 32-bit version keeps compatibility with older drivers and programs.
