I Know, I Know, another ? about M$ rules
Hello extended friends and family,
What I want to do is buy another HDD-$77 and an OS//full blown-$199 or, from what I understand here, an upgrade-$89
If I do a clean install from the purchase of an upgrade, I understand it's the same as a full blown product?
I want to be able to keep my current {win7 64bit setup on my current HDD-with clones to other same size HDD's} and then, the new HDD, put the win7 Professional 64bit OS version on it and be able to use the XP Mode to play around.
when I want to come back to my current win7 64bit setup I can just flip the HDD's. ((( is this an issue with M$?))
and when I flip, will the computer know I have both paid for OS's and no question about activation?
(the current setup is from gateway; they sent me reinstall discs after me begging for a month)
this may sound convoluted but it's the only way I can explain what I want to do.
if you need more info, I'll try to explain, sorry, I've been up for 38hrs.
I thought about buying:
Amazon.com: Acer AS7741G-7017 17.3-Inch Laptop ( Black): Computer & Accessories: Reviews, Prices & more
or:
Amazon.com: Gateway NV79C51u 17.3 Inch Laptop - Satin Black: Computer & Accessories
Love and Respect,
Carmine
PS... I don't want to do a dual boot thing and I cant grasp it anyway
