I bought a used HP laptop which had Vista Home Premium 32bit installed on it from new. I used it for a bit without any problems but decided i wanted Windows 7 Home premium instead. I fitted a brand new hard drive for this and decided to install the 32bit version. Since doing this i keep...

Thanks for that i was thinking it was the best option. I have a program that will only work with XP so using 7 Ultimate in XP compatibility mode will hopefully let the program run.

I currently have Windows 7 Home premium 32bit on my laptop which i upgraded over Vista 32bit. If i buy Windows 7 Ultimate full retail version can i install this over my current OS with the 64bit version?? If not i will just buy another hard drive and do a fresh install. Incidentally, the laptop...

I would like an Nvidia DX11 card but can't justify replacing my GTX295 at the moment.

OK so i am wanting an Apple device to cater for my Digital Photography work. I can't decide between the 21inch Imac of the 15inch Macbook Pro. The Imac obviously has a bigger screen which is benificial but then the Macbook is portable!! Now portability is not really an issue that i am fussed...

I think the ipad is too limited in it's abilities for the money. It would however make a very good photo viewer, handy for digital photography so you can upload images from your camera to it as a storage device, that said, it is still too expensive. I would like a Mackbook Pro too for my photo...

Is it compatible with Windows 7 64bit though as i have a fingerprint reader.

Thanks Mike. I really fancy the 3D hardware to be honest and have been wondering for a while about getting it. good and bad reports about it but this is like most things so i won't know unless i try it for myself. Even if it fails to impress al least i will have a 120hz monitor.

Does anyone know if there any problems with this combination.

I installed the upgrade version with a clean install with no problems which was nice and took less than 30 mins to complete too. Very surprised to find no Windows Mail as part of Windows 7 for some reason which is rather annoying as i rather liked that. Toying with the idea of either the Acer...

OK thanks for that. I am now about to shut down this PC and do a clean install of Windows 7 64bit on a different HDD. I hope it goes well with no issues.

I will be doing a fresh install of Win 7 Home Premium 64bit on a new hard drive shortly. At the same time i really fancy the idea of using the Acer 23inch Touch Screen monitor, this is assuming my version of Win 7 supports this along with my other hardware which is pretty high spec. Does...

As the title says, can i fit one of these and install a fresh OS on it like Windows 7 for example or will i be just better adding the HDD to my tower case. I already have two HDD's in my system with Vista Ultimate 64bit and Vista Home Premium 32bit. What would i have to do if i fitted another...

Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I see Windows7 supports touch screen monitors and wondered if there will ever be support for this in Vista. The idea seems cool even if Microsoft made it available as a download that had to be purchased for a small fee. Phil.

Does anyone know where in the UK i can purchase this media but i want it to be Lightscribe too. I have DVD Lightscribe but i cannot find Blu Ray Lightscribe anywhere, i would have thought that some would be available.
