Windows 7 upgrade install on Win7/Vista dual boot
Well i am currently running Vista Home Premium sp2 and Windows 7 Ultimate (build 7100) in a dual boot config for about 2-3months and loving it. I was wondering if i could upgrade my Windows 7 install to RTM without affecting my Vista install? Do you get a choice which OS you want to upgrade or does it go by what OS you load the upgrade disc from?

You can upgrade, but you will need to repair your MBR with BartPE or a similar program. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number ASUSTeK Computer INC. CM5675

By MBR you mean Master Boot Record? Can i not just use the repair install feature on either vista or Windows 7 disc to fix it? I duno im being noobish now, just thought i would check here first before i tried. So it can be upgraded but it will cause a problem? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Asus M51Vr/Myself
