How to update Vista(x64) to Win7(x64) on dual-boot computer?
Hi,
I need to upgrade my Windows OS on a dual-boot computer.
I was hoping that I could just purchase this
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate (32- or 64-bit) GLC-00184 B&H Photo=
and do the "upgrade install" option.
However, I don't know if it will be as simple as that since I am in a dual boot configuration. (System specs below.)
I also don't really know which boot loader the computer uses, and the company which built it is no longer in business.
Previously, I had to update to SP2. I couldn't get it to work, until I found advice on a Linux dual-boot forum which said to disconnect the power and SATA cables to the non Windows drives for the SP2 update to be able to take effect. This worked.
Would an upgrade install be as easy as unplugging the these drives and running the installer, or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
