What happens when the Windows 7 trial runs out? -

Hey, i installed W7 over Vista. want to keep my files and settings, any advise on how to roll back or does it just roll back after the trial. Is there any way to speed up the trial?

big mistake in my opinion laying it over your vista installation. very doubtful if you will be able to rollback. and i m sure you have found out it is buggy and incomplete in beta. so hopefully you have the capability to save your files onto cd/dvds for when you have to reformat and reinstall vista after the trial runs out.

It won t automatically roll back after the trial. Typically these betas are designed to run until after the release - I believe W7 will run until 2010. At that time you ll be forced to buy the retail package. If you want to go back to Vista you ll need the CD/DVD it came from and perform a reinstall.

personally i would imagine you will get the option to buy W7 or return to Vista, but as with all microsoft products, these bound to be problems!!
