sorry to revive a dead topic, but i was google searching this, and i stumbled upon it. so, because there is a windows.old folder, then you don't have to back anything up?

ok. my computer is a Compaq Presario CQ60 215DX. and ill check for windows updates.

well, im no pro at installing OS's (im only 14) and im buying the windows 7 upgrade for vista home premium 32-bit version. im not installing the RC because i don't understand dual booting and ive read about it, and don't fully understand it. and i don't know anything about my mother board lol...

somebody please reply!

Urgent compatibility issue here! please reply! today, i downloaded the microsoft windows 7 compatibility checker beta, and most things were compatible, accept one thing; the nvidia nForce system management controller. i checked for updates ob this driver, and i have the latest version. will...

oh, ok. well, i don't know how to do a clean install, but my dad could show me, and im sure the package has some instructions on it. but that sounds better, and maybe i can get rid of all that pre-installed hp crap off here through that (that stuff is completely useless, i wish i could get rid...

anybody know?

ok, which is better, upgrading or clean install? also, what's the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit?

yeah, i was wanting home premium anyway :) it has everything i need. i must convince my dad!

you got it right on the spot what i have :D well, that's definitely very convenient, i just wonder how efficient it is.... will i get the same features as the full version of windows 7?

im not gonna use the RC or anything, im talking about the final product because im really wanting to get this OS, but my dad is saying it's just gonna be another vista. besides, i really don't know how to dual boot and is way too complicated for my understanding.

that is absolutely awesome! that could save you a lot of trouble, but ive heard it's glitchy, is that true?

so what you are saying is to move all your save data onto a disk, then erase everything else, then pop in a windows 7 cd? newbie confused.

what i want to know is, what is an inplace install? does that mean you can just install windows 7 right over vista and not lose anything or do you still lose stuff?

i do like vista, it's just that this seems like such a steal! it's supposed to be a great OS, but my dad doesn't agree. oh well, it may not actually be worth it since i really don't have a problem with vista.
