| | Install?? Alright, so I am thinking about installing Windows 7 now, but just wanted to know is it a fresh install for is it an upgrade? ( I believe it is a fresh install, which is what im kinda hoping for) Has anyone had any problems? I haven't had any problems with Vista. So im guessing ill be alright with 7. |

| Windows 7 Ult x64(x2), HomePrem x32(x4), Server 08 (+VM), 08 R2 (VM) , SuSe 11.2 (VM), XP 32 (VM) In a ∞ Portal | can you post up your specs??? the only thing that be a problem is if you have hardware from the Windows 2000....lol most XP computers can actually handle 7 as long as you have more than 512 of memory.. a fresh install is the ideal way although if you have programs you can just live without (and dont have the installation) you can try the upgrade option |

| | Honestly? You have to evaluate what you are going to be doing with the machine. Many here have moved over to Windows 7 completely, others have kept a backup OS around for 'just in case' reasons - still others have multiple versions of Windows 7 for the same reason. Bottom line- can you afford to lost your data and / or deal with a buggered install and have to install from scratch and then install all your apps? If so, try the upgrade. If not, Shrink something and then install Windows 7 onto that partition. |

| | Well I installed win 7 on my 2nd hard drive and I'm using it as my main OS. it was a clean install and so far working perfect. Games, Coding, Music all work fine. I still have xp64 on my other hard drive, not going to delete that incase something bad does happen. Plus that one has everything installed on it and works fine and I don't need to use it's space so I might as well keep it for now. |
