Hi, I just joined these forums to ask this important question, and if this goes somewhere elde, I am very sorry.
I am looking to take advantage of that Student Discount for Windows 7, but I would be using it on a build I'm working on, and I dont have any other OS disks or anything like that...
is it CableLabs? the ones who claim that only certain PC's can be "Certified" Digital Cable ready? Digital cable ready doesn't mean anything other than a small flag has been added to a BIOS that enables OCUR. from everything I've read, it can be added to any BIOS.
Is it ATI the one and...

Hi,
I recently saw the offer to get Home Premium for $30 if you're with a University (have a .edu email address). I looked up the wiki page for W7 editions and it has a comparison chart, and it says that Home Premium supports a maximum of 1 CPU chip. My processor is Intel Core 2 Duo. So does...
Is it possible to transfer program files to another. Since i have a full licenced copy of Tune-up utilities on vista and i have no more licences left and i want it on 7.
Also i hardly use my vista and its pointless now. Is there a way where i copy all the program file folder of it and move it...
I have Windows 7 RC installed on my PC. Previously, I had a Full Ultimate Version of VISTA. When Windows 7 comes out in October, can I use a Upgrade Version (Windows 7 Professional) to install or do I need to purchase a full version of Windows 7? Do I need to do a clean install?
Hi,
It's my understanding that starting March 11th, those who are running W7 RC1 will experience an auto shutdown every 2 hours. Then, in June, the RC1 will lock you out of your system. Even if you buy the retail copy of W7 before June, there is no way to do an in place upgrade, rather, you...

Hi Guys
I've just finished testing the Date expiration facilitgy on build 7048 -- although the popup screen says Expiry in July 2009 it actually REALLY expires on 1st Aug. You can see that by using the slmgr command (Software licensing).
I tested it by changing the BIOS date and then...
Hi guys
I hope that NONE of you has irreparably wiped your original OS since if there is no Upgrade path from Beta 7 to the Final 7 you'll either have to re-install your Old OS to get an upgrade version or have to buy a totally new version which will of course cost considerably more.
