I would like to install Windows 7 (as a Christmas present because it is faster and more stable) on my Dad's Acer M1201 on a second drive (already installed, connected to motherboard and functioning) and keep Vista for booting on the original drive just for insurance. Is this the proper procedure to follow? It should be compatible since it has a 1.86 processor and 4G ram and 512 PCIe video card. Is this the proper procedure to follow?
1. format 2nd drive NTFS
2. install Bios for Acer M1201
Acer Support: Downloads & Support Documents - Desktop / Aspire / Aspire M1201
3. install this version of Windows 7 on 2nd drive
Amazon.com: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit (Full) System Builder DVD 1 Pack: Software
4. install drivers. Will Windows 7 find drivers needed or do I need to have them downloaded and on a flash drive to make everything workable?
Thank you,
Chris
