Windows 7 Upgrade
I have tried several things from the posts above. I have a hard drive that has a working copy of Windows 7 that I want to move to a new system, primarily because I don't want to have to reinstall all my software and programs.
With Windows XP, you could do this by reinstalling windows from the installation DVD and tell it that you wanted to keep your existing files on the hard drive. This just reinstalled windows without wiping out the whole hard drive.
The problem I am running into is that with Windows 7, you have to run the upgrade installations from inside your old version of Windows. It won't let you run it from the DVD. That becomes an issue because you can't get the system to boot on the hard drive from the other machine until you fix all the drivers.
Any suggestions?????
