Reinstalling W-7 Pro - It doesn't work the same!
Hello,
I'm at my wit's end.
I reinstalled W-7 Pro, and it doesn't work nearly as well. Maybe I installed it incorrectly, I would appreciate hearing the voice of experience.
The reinstall was an effort to speed up the machine, but in some ways it slowed down.
I tried to install the XP Mode and that mode wouldn't install at all, whereas I installed it without a hitch on the previous O/S.
The machine was bought used and had the O/S already installed. I used an eBay bought, previously unopened SKU-FQC-00129 Win Pro 7 English ROW/DVD as the source for the installation. The DVD was run and things seemed to proceed normally.
The physical machine is a Lenovo ThinkCentre M Series x86 64 bit, so I installed the 64 bit version of the O/S.
Do I need to take it to a shop to have the O/S installed correctly? I previously installed W-7 Home Premium on an XP machine and had no problem. Is W-7 Pro a different animal? Can you install W-7 Pro on a machine that already has W-7 Pro?
Thank you
