Windows 7 from home basic to home premium hello all,
i m using a dell inspiron m101z notebook which has windows 7 home basic prebuilt. now i got a very new Windows 7 home premium dvd. and since yes i m not very good in all this computer stuff i have opened my own topic so that things bcom clearer to me.
i want to install home premium so how can i do it if i dont want to lose my files on the laptop. specially some dell softwares like webcam and all.
i went thru this tutorial. does this do the needful. it is ok i dont need to format my HD. but do i need to backup? also the notebook i use has only C drive n no other drive. Clean Install Windows 7 from the Windows 7 Desktop | My System Specs |
