Absolutely !!! Better safe than sorry.

If you are worried about losing data and unsure about the upgrade just buy another hd and install the upgrade as a clean install. You can then move your data over once you are satisfied with the system. You then have a hd with the last os if you want to go back or you can clone the new os to...

I'm assuming that you are attempting to add a folder to the start menu (??) >Left Click on the Start Orb >Right Click on "All Programs" >Right click on "Open All Users" That will allow you to add or change the items in the start menu. Good Luck

I've used TrueCrypt in the past. Worked well. I changed to PGP Desktop. Excellent program and works well in Windows 7. Good Luck

Upgrade requirements ??? Does anybody know how the upgrade sequence will work ? If I have a clean HD and have the original XP or Vista disks will I have to install XP or Vista prior to installing the upgrade OR Will the upgrade disk just ask for a disk of the older operating system ? Thanks...

What's the difference between the RC and RTM branches ?

I loaded 7100 RC x64 on a Dell Latitude D630 with 4GB ram. Slow and sluggish. I went back to x86 and all runs well. Appears x64 is just too much for the D630 with only 4GB ram.

I loaded up 7127 with a clean install with the same programs I had on the RC (office, Acrobat, Snagit, etc etc) For me, definitely quicker. For me, the RC got slower, especially after office SP1. 7127 is going well after Office SP1 and 2 I would recommend it, but only for a clean install...

Hello, My AppData folder is showing up in explorer even though I have the "don't show hidden files, folders, or drives" checked. Any suggestions to fix this problem is appreciated. Thanks OK, apologies... I had my head up my a.. and somehow had unchecked the "Hidden" box when I had the...

I have had the same problem with: Slingplayer software Holdem indicator Kavoom (km software) Other than that 7077 seems faster and very stable.

Oh, Well, OK, I will first try to do a clean install and if a vista installation is REALLY necessary I'll just install it without any of my programs then upgrade. I'm certainly not jumping up and down with joy if I have to re-install vista but if that's what it takes so be it. When the retail...

I didn't stick around that long in 7057. I tried IE but didn't notice much difference. I was just bummed out by the speed difference etc. I'm running 32 bit. I'll give 7048 a try in a day or so. I've got my necessary programs down to where it only takes an hour or so to install all. I don't...

I have 7022 on a Dell D630 with absolutely no problems. I skipped 7048 and installed 7057 and found it to be a bit slower so went back to 7022. I'll wait for the RC. Good luck

That's usually the case with using only the laptop usb ports. I tried 2 different external usb drives (external power) and my Dell D630 didn't want to acknowledge their existence. I tried several different flash drives and the D630 picked up on all. When I put my hd with vista back in with...

I have the same problem with my Dell Latitude D630 laptop. It will pick up flash drives but will not engage external HD's. Having said that my desktop will pick up the external HD's. I suspect it is a driver problem and will have to wait for the next Beta release or the final release when sony...
