Hello all,
I thought it would be interesting to see what installation method people are using these days.. With USB being so widely supported and a much quicker way to install Windows 7, using a DVD to install is starting to become less popular..
So.. What installation method do you use and why?
I use a USB Pen Drive to install Windows (XP,Vista and 7) and in my opinion it's the best way to install. It's not only faster than using a DVD (Windows 7 on my main PC took only 13 minutes from start to useable desktop using my USB Drive... Compared to 19 mins using a DVD. A noticeable difference for sure.. ) but it's also alot more secure.. You don't have to worry about scratching the surface of a disc or accidentally breaking the disc.. Can't wait for USB 3.0 to be released.. That should shave a few more minutes off the total install time yet again..
