DO NOT overwrite Vista as you will not be able to roll back. Windows 7 is awesome and I have been using it since Build 6801 thru 6956 and now 7000 Beta 1 which I am working with at the moment. I know its tempting but I suggest installing it on a spare Hard Drive if you have one lying around. As long as the Drive is no less than 40gb then you will be able to enjoy Windows like it has never been before. There is also the option to Dual Boot with Vista http://windowsaddict.blogspot.com/2009/0... Also bear in mind Windows 7 Beta 1 comes with an initial 30day trial period, however you can rearm to extend the trial period http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/11/06... However if you download Windows 7 from the official source an activation key will be issued with your download which will take you through to August 1st. 2009 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows... LUG.
Hi, The Beta versions of Windows - 7 does appear to run slightly more efficiently thatn Vista so you may notice an improvement in response time for software. The BETA file though expires in August 2009 and is not completely functional; for example the mode which allows you to use a touch screen monitor is not enabled in the BETA version. The skins also are not complete so there is nothing too spectacular to view on screen. It is worth trialing though to see if it works ok on your computer. It does appear to have the necessary drivers to support a lot of hardware that initially Vista did not support. If you install it you can also set it to run in Vista Compatability Mode for anything such as printers etcetera that may not work yet in the Beta format. I d suggest installing it on a separate hard drive, but if you only have one then partition that so you still have Vista handy if things do not work well for you. So long as you are trialling Windows - 7 you might also want to try Microsoft s latest Beta of their Internet Browser. Regards, TgTips
yes yes yes yes yes. i have vista. thought it was great. few ugs and problems. and needs bery good system requirements. but windows 7 is very reliable. i am now running the beta of windows 7. works fine. its quicker. seems reliable. should be way more efficiant and so when it comes out. i suggest everyone gets it. it will be the best windows microsoft has ever made. hope this helps.
Preliminary reports indicate that it is an improvement over Vista. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately from what I ve heard) I don t have Vista so I can t download the beta version without reformatting my hard drive (I have XP) and I m not about to do that.
definitely. the Target of windows 7 is to work out all the kinks of vista and make it do what vista failed to do.......work fast,properly,easy, and just be overall better.
No. Beta = not ready and no support for drivers Just wait..
It certainly couldn t be much worse.
