Just a small tribute to how well W7 has been behaving. Been trough some HD upgrades (cloning) and restores from images (due to my own 'experiments' and doings), but still on my original install (+ all updates), and works perfect, this is my used-daily 'net & office work' laptop. Great.
I had windows 7 since Feb 2010 but since then have re installed countless times
Example this rig I am on now is installed with my Original copy of windows from 2010 /before that I was running Vista
I just built this desktop a few months ago so it has a date of 6/01/2013 but I have a laptop with a Win 7 install date of 9/11/2011.
I have a Win 2003 server here with an install date of 10/26/2006, it's almost never powered down or rebooted.
My previous install ran from January 2010 to September 2012.
I had to reinstall as:
- 3 out of the 4 Calculator modes had broken displays
- Windows could no longer "hold" my static IP address
4/1/2011,,, The day I discovered the importance of backups.
April 6, 2013 because that day I've built this machine.
Hopefully I won't format and reinstall ever since I always have couple of ghost images ready to restore if something goes wrong.
same here - was running with the Release Previews and BETA's for ages - way back when..
ordered the Win7 Ultimate installation disks direct from Microsoft as soon as they became available
they sent both the 32-Bit and 64-Bit disks, which I thought was very considerate of them
- current date is 6th Sept 2013 - when I reinstalled the complete setup on a new SSD
11-2-12,
Which is the near fresh install
A real fresh install will most likely be about the same time this year/ holiday season when business slows a bit,
The original was from my computer manufacture win-7 upgrade disk a couple or so year earlier just before the public availability,
I only had Vista for a couple of months thank goodness
