I have a HP DV2550se laptop....
Wanted to install RC1.. but didnt wanna go thru the process of making a partition, and dual boo, etc...
How bad would it be as a main OS?
I mainly use Photoshop CS3 and Cinema 4D as programs outside the usual internet programs, and msn messenger and winamp.
How bad would it be? I recommend it highly. It runs flawless here for everything. The only reason I triple boot with Vista and XP is because I want to. I really have no need for either any longer.
Im using w7 as main OS since the first beta came out.
,Wiisper
I have a dual boot Vista/Win7 but find that I almost never boot to Vista anymore. Win7 has been solid with all my apps so far. I'm lovin it.
Awesome, thanks guyz..
Now lets say I did instal the 1st beta in a small partition (8GB) and obviously thats useless now.
So to install RC i need to do a clean swipe, ... how can i delete both Vista and the Beta? i tried formating the drive where I installed 7 previously... but every time i boot up my laptop, it shows Windows 7 and Windows Vista in the OS selection screen :S
I binned Vista at build 7077 - now on RC1...Been my main OS on my home machine and laptop since 7077 - lovin it! No issues at all!!!!!
Fandabbydozzie!
Hello Rosco,
I use Windows 7 RC as my main OS as well and had not had any problems with it.
From your Windows 7 installation DVD, you can select to do a custom install and delete all partitions listed to wipe it all out and start fresh again. This can help show you more on this to.
Clean Install Windows 7
i got dual boot with vista only reason is tv tuner card driver is not available in win 7!!!
Ive been using Win7 as main OS since the beta release. If you are worried about some compatibility issues, you could always download the new Virtual XP.
