Question about using the Windows 7 beta build 1? -

I currently have Windows vista. If I download and use windows 7, when the beta ends will it just go back to vista? I dont want to download windows 7, have it end, and then have to buy vista. I do not have the disk for vista. It came on my computer Help!

If you upgrade your PC to windows 7 from Vista you won t be able to roll back it. I don t know what will happen when the trial period is over.Think it will lock it self. But you can install windows 7 as a secondary OS.It means you can install it without changing vista.. Then you will be able to use both os..

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, soon to install 7000 Beta 1 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. LUG.

i think, u must install Windows 7 in a seperate drive in ur existing machine.. suppose u ve install d ur Vista in C:\ drive, install this Windows 7 in quot;D:\quot; as a completely fresh install.. so ur PC, will have a dual boot, amp; u can use both Vista as well as Se7en! just try it out...

Don t do it! Windows 7 is BETA remember and for testing by those who know what they re doing. It s not a freebie to take the place of Vista. Stick with Vista - it s much maligned by n00bs and is in fact very reliable and solid. :-)

Suggest you leave the beta version alone unless you are an expert. It will not just quot;go backquot; to vista when the beta ends. You should check out what restore disks you have - or whether your Vista install files are on a hidden partition on your drive.

Why go to Windows7, aren t you having enough trouble with Vista?
