Re: The "I just upgraded to Seven!" Thread

boot from disc and choose custom install.
eventually it will ask you about partitions, etc. choose advanced or whatever and you can delete your former partition.
you don't even have to make a new partition, just choose to use all available space and install - win7 will create the partition and install.
if your on a notebook, netboot, or oem pc, don't kill the recovery partition if you see one. these are usually about 10gb and allow you to restore the comp back to factory OS.

one last thing - don't put in your win7 cdkey just yet. leave blank and install and then verify everything is running smoothly for a couple weeks. you have a month to register your cdkey. win7 will prompt you to enter it from time to time.

so basically, set to boot from disk and then just install 7 on top of vista? or what

Re: The "I just upgraded to Seven!" Thread

Full reinstall. I would never advise upgrade.

It works most times, but when it doesn't it's a nightmare.

What would you guys recommend for installation? Format the hard drive first, then install? Or just install it over Vista?

Not sure if it counts as upgrading to seven but my netbook came in on thursday. Out of the box its XP but the australian government upgraded to seven! Everything is blocked though, facebook, TGN . Tried getting a naughty copy of red alert 2 to work but so far no good.

Is it blocked on the network you're using the netbook on, or on the netbook itself?

My $10.50 copy of Windows 7 Ultimate hasn't arrived yet since it takes them a while to call Best buy to confirm I'm working there, BUT I got Win7 Pro for $40 via the student thing. That copy is for my dad though. Aren't I a good son!?! LoL.

Installed it just an hour ago... installing drivers is a pain Semms to work like a charm though, only game I got to try so far is Tropico 3 and it runs loads better than on my old PC.

I've technically upgraded to 7 but I still need a HDD to install it on...

putting windows 7 disc on your ipod does not count:p

Re: The "I just upgraded to Seven!" Thread

Thought I'd have a little necro post.

I've finally upgraded, I was just putting it off until I got my new hard drive. So much easier to install that XP was :awes
