Windows 7
Having been convinced that Windows Vista was the be all and end all to computing problems, I must admit to being less than pleased with it after almost two years of being frustrated by the stop/start functionality and the amount of space it takes up on my hard drive. The pundits are now extolling Windows 7 as the antidote to all the previously encountered problems and pushing users to upgrade. My version of Vista is 32-bit and I am advised that I will need to clean install Windows 7 as only the 64-bit version can be upgraded, which makes me reluctant to attempt it as I will need to rehash/reload all my peripherals which may or may not work with the new system. I welcome any advice subscribers can offer.

Re: Windows 7
windows 7 is a big improvement on vista, i wiped vista of every pc or laptop i or my family and some friends owned and put xp on it because vista was nothing more than pure garbage
i am now using windows 7 ultimiate 32 bit and it is easier to navigate , easier to turn off annoying features, fatster performance and even if your manufacturer hasnt started providing driver support for win7 i have had no problems using vistas drivers for win7 as of yet. try/borrow/aquire a copy off a friend if you can before you pay for it and never do a simple upgrade they never work as well as a fesh clean instalation just back up all your favourites and important files and strat a fresh. another big problem vista had was that most manufactures sent out pc units and laptops with only 1gb of ram as it is teh minimum needed to run vistabut in reality you need a bare minimum of 2gb my laptop is about 18 months old and has 2gb of ram and gets a higher performance score running win 7 than what it did running vista loads of nice little features with win7 as well which can be seen on youtube if you look around windows 7 videos on there |
Re: Windows 7
why did you use the 32 bit version and not the 64? I am asking because I am about to try out 7 but not sure if I should use 64bit

Re: Windows 7
yeah i have 4GB in mine so it needs 64bit windows
mancie. Windows 7 rules, Vista was ****e. You will find a lot of people agree. I fixed my friends mum's pc other day (shes 80) and even she agrees hehe |
Re: Windows 7
Guess I'm more baffled than ever now. My system has a 224GB Hard Drive and 2GB's of RAM. If that will support the 64-bit Windows 7 operating system, then I reckon my best bet would be to clean install it after backing up all my important files - which will no doubt mean my having to reload Microsoft Office and my HP Photosmart Printer Disks, not to mention my internet modem. Buggar.

Re: Windows 7
2gb of ram isnt enough ,it will work but not very well, eveywhere i have read up on it says 4gb of ram minimumn
personaly i would go for 32bit because you will probably get problems with some software unless they have a specific 64bit version of it like photoshop does foe example |

Re: Windows 7
if that is the case when you go to install windows(the process may wipe your HD) it will ask you which version you want to install 32 or 64.......least it was the same with my disc
