Try and run a SSD on Win XP with junk collection.
May I ask why?

...Used the dev preview before, didn't like it. Still don't like it. Only upgraded from 7 because of a serious java problem...
So why not simply use Windows XP and all your troubles will be over?
Not everyone has this option. I don't know what his specs are, but I know for Nvidia they do not have XP drivers for above the GTX460m. This includes the GTX470m, GTX580m, and the whole GT(x) 500 line. I am not sure for AMD or other components, but I think most manufacturers are missing the XP driver support these days. Sad day, but it is coming.So why not simply use Windows XP and all your troubles will be over?
Is that personal opinion, or lack of driver support?Pretty sure I can't downgrade from windows 7. I was trying to avoid a clean install.
XP is not really suited for modern hardware. The guy states he has a GT540M and an i5 in his signature - why would you want to run XP on an i5? I think the problems with Java the guy is having is probably more to do with conflicting software and/or bad Java installs than it is to do with his OS, in which case downgrading to XP won't help.S.T.A.R.S. said:So why not simply use Windows XP and all your troubles will be over?

tried it. Uninstalled all my jre's and jdk's, and cleaned the registry. Re-installed, and my browser stuff started working again, but any java programs just wouldn't.When I had issues with Java on W7, I uninstalled all the Java, then cleaned the registry, then reinstalled the newest Java and all was great.
ok, fair enough. And I did not take time to read your siggy either. Even if you did go to XP, you would not have driver support for the 540m, so not a good option at all.I couldn't do a clean install simply because I don't have the space. I have about 500GB's of data that I have nowhere to put until I can get another storage drive to put in my computer. Because of that, I just migrated to win8, and simply kept my files and just reinstalled all my programs.

Yeah, It was just bad java installs. OS doesn't matter, I just needed to wipe/upgrade and get something fresh. Sadly, wipe wasn't a option

I really don't see what's the rush.Windows 8 is not finished operating system and it is just a beta.And using beta operating systems is never a good idea and no wonder why you might have problems.I am not saying everyone has problems with Windows 8,but many people do.Windows 8 is under the development and you should wait until it's completely finished and THEN use it.Until then use Windows 7 or whichever you prefer.
I haven't a problem yet with windows 8, I just don't like it. At least the metro aspect of it. All my problems were with windows 7. Honestly, if it wasn't for gaming and some schoolwork I'd be linux only.
All I can say is...COMPUTER GEEK!!!!!!!!!
I agree. I think Windows 8 has been rushed out too soon, Windows 7 isn't even 3 years old yet and it is perfectly usable. Microsoft tend to rush new products out before the old ones have really taken, I mean, they're planning on bringing in Office 15 Beta this summer, and most people have only just upgraded to Office 2010. It's getting kind of ridiculous now.S.T.A.R.S. said:I really don't see what's the rush.Windows 8 is not finished operating system and it is just a beta.And using beta operating systems is never a good idea and no wonder why you might have problems
When the Release Candidate is released shortly before the final product goes on sale, I will download it and see if anything has improved.DMGrier said:I like it but Like S.T.A.R.S. said it is a Beta. It still has a lot of work to go and I am curious to see what the future is going to be.
