not really upgrading, but as soon as TRIM support comes out for SSD's imma order my SSD and format to Win 7 HP (home premium)
 
Im already running 7..and happy so far!

Been running it since the RC was made available,as my primary os....that was already better than Vista.
 
I never run release OSes from anyone ever really. I also don't think it is worth what they are charging for their upgrades. I will have to talk to my MS rep to see if I can get a free or cheap copy. Otherwise I am not all hyped up to upgrade.

Trying to do a Clean Install!

I wish MS made Windows 7 a lot eaiser to do a clean install from the upgrade dvd. :eek:
 
I'm running on XP pro 32bit right now, and have entertained the thought of going up to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit since its only a $30 upgrade because of my university I attend. I figure, what the hell, might as well get some new bells and whistles! I just dread the whole reinstalling/transferring data back over to it once its all said and done.
 
I'm installing Windows 7 Professional 64 right now on my laptops.

Technically I'm doing an upgrade--From The Win7 RC ultimate to Full Version of Win7 Pro! I love my friends with computer stores and free licenses!!
 
Quick Question: What do I need to have in order to upgrade to Windows 7. Meaning, do I need to have serial keys and all that?

A copy of windows 7... upgrade can be installed without existing version of vista from what ive heard. Cant confirm or deny it though since i really dont know.
 
Dang, because I have a little issue with genuine software (won't go into that + it wasn't my fault :D) and I don't know what to do. I dont want to pay for a full version.

I was able to put Full Win7 Ultimate DVD onto a machine with Win7 RC. (Ultimate) and chose the upgrade option--it 'upgraded' and kept everything.

I had been under the impression this was not doable--yet it worked!!

So I was excited!,,maybe I was wrong and this is just normal..either way that kicked ass!

For shits and giggles I tried to do 'upgrade' option with Pro version DVD and it required full reformat!!. (told me I couldn't upgrade Ultimate (RC) to Full dvd (Professional)..all copies were/are 64-bit)
