It works!
5 of 5 found this helpful The product is indeed what it was claimed to be: a never-used original retail package for upgrading from Vista to Windows 7.
I needed to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 because Microsoft support for Vista is ending on April 11, 2017, and I did not want to buy a new computer. For $95, I can now use my computer until Microsoft support for Windows 7 ends in another three years, and, if I want to keep my computer beyond then, I can upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
Installation and setup were basically simple. However, I did run into an immediate problem: You're given a choice of updating Windows 7 first and then installing it (recommended), or just installing it without updating it first (not recommended). I chose the recommended option to update first and then install. However, when I did so, the "downloading updates" screen just ran indefinitely.
After doing some research online, I cancelled the updates and went back and chose the not-recommended option of installing Windows 7 without updating it first. With this option, the Windows 7 upgrade installed smoothly.
The next issue I encountered was that after installing the Windows 7 upgrade, I needed to download and install, I think it was, about 300 updates to Windows 7. This process took a very long time. It required a lot of patience.
When the updates to Windows 7 were finally downloaded and installed—voila!--everything worked perfectly! Moreover, everything on my computer, both programs and the internet, works much faster. It’s like I have a new computer!

Neat Little Structure with a Lot of Charm
It's a neat little structure with a lot of charm. I say "little," because, well, a shanty is a small shack. In design, proportions, and colors, this Lionel structure is an excellent representation of typical prototype crossing shanties you can see online. The shutters over the two windows even open and close. When they're open, you can see soft illumination inside from an overhead incandescent bulb. A thoughtful touch is that the wires for the bulb come down through a small hole in one corner the ceiling, keeping them out of view from the windows. With the advent of automatic signals at grade crossings, the need for a flagman and his shanty came to an end. Still, shanties could be seen for some time. On any layout other than one whose theme is totally contemporary, this well-made model can add an appealing vintage touch.
