what to do now? SLOW
I'm very disappointed with the results of Windows 7 and am wondering if it has to do with my installation.
Before I did the upgrade, I decided to wipe everything clean and install a fresh Windows Vista and did all the updates (this took forever with SP1 and SP2). Don't ask me why I decided to do this, in my head I thought this would be the best option for a fresh install before windows 7. I didn't realize until after reading this forum that the "custom" install would have been a clean install of 7 for me. I then installed 7 via the "upgrade" option.
My results? My PC now feels slower than it did with Vista. I'm NOT happy and I have a feeling I would have been better off doing a "custom" installation allowing a clean install of 7.
I tried doing a clean install with 7 currently on my system by booting from the windows 7 DVD. It doesn't offer a "custom" installation anymore since 7 is already on my system.
So here's the question.... would I be better off reinstalling Vista and then doing a clean install of 7 via the "custom" installation option?
