Windows 7 installation? -

If I download the Windows 7 Beta and when I need to go back to Vista since I already have my Vista recovery in my hard drive will I be able to reinstall Vista without a problem? Also will I be able to upgrade to Windows 7 when the beta trail is up since my PC came already installed with Vista?

I believe you can because the Vista recovery is on a different partition. When you install Windows 7 it will be on a different partitions. Make sure you backup everything tho. I think I read something where you can t upgrade your Windows 7 Beta to the regular version when it comes out. But I believe you can with Vista.

Hello Nymetsof, I’m Rick from the Windows Outreach Team and I see you have some concerns around installing the Windows7 beta and how it might affect your Vista installation. You can find instructions for Installing or upgrading the Beta at the Windows7 page here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows... Please take a look at the guide and use the easy to follow instructions to complete your Beta installation. Rick, Windows Outreach Team.

Windows 7 actually give you both options, you can either install it as an update to vista and when it expires just delete the upgrade and keep vista or if you have a second hard drive you can install it as a second operating system.
