What should I expect when my new computer arrives? Is there going to be anything installed like windows 7 testing version or something?
If so, how long will I be able to use it? What is going to happen after that time? Thanks

If you have selected no OS, then your PC will have version of Win7 on it, but it will not be registered and I think it will stop working after 30 days, this 30 days could well be from it was installed from testing, so by the time you get it is could be somewhat less time on it, but dunno.

If you have your own copy of retail Win7 then you shoudl just be able to put in your CD-key for it, if you're not putting Win7 on, you will have to install your own OS.

Indeed, it will be Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it will be unregistered, and the license should have about 25 days usually left on it, during this time you can use it and buy an activation code, enter your own activation code, or delete the partitions of the disk by booting from your OS media, and proceed to reinstall Windows :)

Can it be upgraded to W7 Ultimate just via the activation code, do you know?

I've a key ready for my machine .. and if it saves me reinstalling, even better.

No,you will have to use your own disk
& do a clean install.
