Re: Anyone upgrading to Windows 7?
I would always do a clean install. Especially if you already have a back up Hard drive, you can just backup the files you wanna save then copy them back over. Formatting my hard drive and installing windows 7 took less than a half hour, very fast.
I talked to one of my friends who upgraded from vista without formatting his hard drive and it took him four hours to install. He is also having some minor issues.
Also, with windows skydrive, you have 25GB of free online storage. Here is the link:

You can format without doing this, but this method is much faster and easier. Also, don't forget to backup the files you want to keep. Like I posted above, you have 25GB of free online storage.Comment

Windows 7 is the bomb. More I use it the more I love it. Going back to XP at my workstation feels like I'm going back in time ten years."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: Anyone upgrading to Windows 7?
I have no idea why anyone would want to stick with XP over Windows 7 or even Vista. I think Vista has been far more stable and more robust and I'm sure Windows 7 is even better than Vista from what I've read. I know XP was pretty stable but I've only had Vista crash once on me in several years and XP crashed more frequently than that.
Anyways, I think I'm going to upgrade my laptop and see how things go. I think i'm probably going to do the clean install route.
Anyone know of any good deals on Windows 7??Streaming PC & PS5 games, join me most nights after 6:00pm ET on TwitchTV https://www.twitch.tv/shaunh20

oH and one other thing - if you want windows 7 to run in 64 bit mode and you're currently using a 32 bit OS you will have no choice but to do a clean install, otherwise you'll be stuck with windows 7 in 32 bit mode.Streaming PC & PS5 games, join me most nights after 6:00pm ET on TwitchTV https://www.twitch.tv/shaunh20

I keep trying to drag my window to the top of the screen to maximize it on the computers in the lab at my school. Lol.Member: OS Uni Snob Association | Twitter: @MyNameIsJesseG | #WT4M | #WatchTheWorldBurn
