Win 7 confusion/ issues
Well not sure where to start here, since I have for some reason alot of issues with doing a install of Win 7. I had purchase thru Best Buy web site back in Oct when win 7 was released the home version. I just now got around to doing a install, guess I should of read the forums first. I have followed the instructions that were in the packaging on how to do the install, which seem easy. I went from Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Upgrade Home version, which I found out now you cannot do. I had to do a custom install which was fine with me, but after installation on my 300 GB HD I showed 155 of GB space used, how can this be I asked after this was to be a custom install and it should of wipe clean my HD. Well it did not, so I proceeded to reformat the HD and start over with XP install then upgrade with Win 7. Now that worked but now my system with Win 7 is so slow it takes 16 min from the time I push the pwr button to bring up the desktop. Plus once I do get to the desktop it take 60 sec to get online once I click on internet explorer. So please why is this OS so slow? Or what can I do to fix this? Or what did I do wrong? Plus Win 7 cant find all of my drivers either, especially my brand knew video card. Please any help here? Sorry had to explain all this from the beginning here. I do not want to go any further on working on my PC until I find a fix here. Please let me know any suggestions, ideas..etc etc..throw it out the window,,LOL..thx
