Hi, Im new around here and I am not really good with computers/techinical stuff so I got some questions to ask. Would appreciate it if people around here are willing to help me. The thing is that recently, I found out that I qualify for some MSDNAA thingy and could get to download Windows 7 RTM for free. However, I am afraid I would screw up and kill my laptop. So here are some questions I need answered before I decide whether to install it:
1. Whats a RTM version? (does it have some expiry or some limitations, either due to RTM or by MSDNAA?)
2. Can I use a 64 bits version (processor is T7300) and are there risks to using a 64 bits rather than 32 bits (My laptop is kinda old and only has 2gb of ram)
3. I do not have a Windows Vista disk (my laptop came with a manufacturer disk that kinds of ghost/clone everything when I need to reformat) Would I be unable to use that disk any more to reformat once I install Win 7?. Anyone can help me on this? (this is 1 of the main considerations I have about trying to install Win 7)
Thanks in advance to those who try to help me
