thats what im wondering. im not about to upgrade it and lose my entire office professional suite

I'd call Microsoft, oh wait, or would you call your PC maker? Hmmm.....


....See what I did there

.

I saw what you did but your still a @%!

I need someone with a college e-mail address to purchase that for me....but i dont know anyone in school right now.

has to be better than the vista im running... hate vista

 

[2g00d4u]

Yep, getting free W7 is great. Been using the RC since it came out. Once I have time, Ill be reformatting to W7 Pro.

Probably will start installing it on all the computers at home.

I need some help from computer savvy Nters.
i wanna upgrade to windows 7 64bit. with what im running is it ok to go ahead and install or should i run more ram??
also how is compatibility with W7 and programs. is it almost guaranteed that if it ran on vista it will run on W7.

I need to read up on this OS at some point. I havnt done any good reading about it. I'll probably cop it sometime around December.

you should be able to. but download that just to make sure. it'll tell you if you can or not

You don't "need" anything extra to run 64-bit. It just makes more use of your 4GB+ RAM. on 32-bit I think your only using about 2GB.

 

[varsity kid]

Windows 7 ultimate is that piff

 

[bkmac]

I am getting a free upgrade (I purchased a Sony Vaio over the summer, claims it comes with an upgrade when it releases), so I will just wait until then.

Looking forward to it. I personally have had no problems with Vista like a lot of people say they have, but I've heard 7 is good, so I'm lookingforward to it.

XP virtual mode coming to Windows 7 this month on the 22nd I think. 2 best Windows environments on one computer 4TW.

 

[polorsport]

One other tip.

DO NOT USE COBIAN BACKUP!

Myself and two other people that I talked to lost whole drives because of it. We just never told each other we had the problem.

I lost over 250 gigs because it would not let me restore, and there backups are not compatible with other programs.

I copped a dell over the summer, do I get a free uprgrade?

but Im completely new to vista and I love it, windows 7 doesnt look worth it

 

[wizards23]

^ vista sucks man. windows 7 is wayyyy worth it.

 

[iansmk]

ive had windows 7 since mid august. my old boss was part of some tech group that got copies of it early(the copies that retailers get to put on PCs). itscrack.

 

[his diabolical majesty]

Never understood why everyone said Vista sucked. I had it for a year and never had a crash, let alone a problem. I like how 7 organizes the windows on thetaskbar. I think everyone and there mom has 7 already.

 

[2sappy]

just got my copy today off the student promotion. cant wait to upgrade my RC to the full version...

Yea man, i picked up a new Dell in July, I asked the guys over at the Best Buy where I bought my laptop at, and they said Dell is like the onlycompany that's not doing any promotional deals or specials with/for Windows 7

. HP, Sony and all those other companies have a free or atleast discounted upgrade.

 

[physicx]

ill prolly put windows 7 on my laptop in the near future. i have a mac too

i personally think DELL is a piece of S. they are over priced and they and they have the same specs as a regular Toshiba/HP. IMO Toshiba/HP > Dell and theyare cheaper
