Where can i get windows 7 from our just take a look at it and see what it does? -
Is Windows 7 going to be compatible with EVERYTHING Vista is? -
The beta looks more promising than Vista s did. It s not ready for general use yet, but that is to be expected from any beta software. Most programs will already run on it, and all the major anti-virus programs should be working by or soon after release, but keep in mind that security is usually very weak until SP1 at least. The biggest issue would be drivers. The drivers for Vista were terrible when it was first release, and are just now starting to mature. It probably won t take as long for Windows 7 drivers, but I d suggest waiting for reviews to come out after its release to make sure.
Windows 7 will not be compatible with everything that runs on Vista, but the switch will be much easier than XP to Vista was.

What tach specs would you need in your pc to run windows 7? -
Nope, because windows 7 hasent released any tech specs, nobody knows if it will run.
R u trying to boast your high end PC?
What happens when windows 7 expires in August? -
HEy DON T worry, take your time, relax. Tech advances every day, there should be a hack at the time. Just look for it two or three weeks before it expires!! RELAX xxx
Hello tootal2- My name is Jeff and I work with the Windows Outreach Team. To answer your first question, I will quote the Microsoft Windows 7 Beta Installation Instruction page: “The Windows 7 Beta will stop working on August 1, 2009. To continue using your PC, please be prepared to reinstall a prior version of Windows or a subsequent release of Windows 7 before the expiration date. We recommend doing a custom (clean) installation.” As to your second question, you will have to reinstall any programs you installed on your Windows 7 Beta OS to whichever OS you revert back to after the Beta expires. If you have any more questions, take a look at the Windows 7 Beta FAQ page and the Windows 7 Beta Installation Instruction pages. Here are links to those pages. Thanks for your interest in Windows 7! http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows... Jeff Windows Outreach Team
Restoring XP from Windows 7? -
Since Windows 7 hasn t officially been released yet, I assume you either have a beta version or you really mean Vista Ultimate. If you have Windows 7, then you are out of luck. If you have Vista, please read this article. http://www.computerworld.com/action/arti... Good luck
When is Microsoft releasing Windows 7? -
From what i read in pc world magazine the end of 2010 but i think it will come out like end of 2009 because of all the trouble with Vista
Wrong, release will be June 30th 2009 if not delayed. Beta will be earlier. The build number is already 6933, 7000 will be out very soon, which means you can get the Beta, that s just as stable as Vista. If you can t wait, evaluate it via BTJunkie, etc. Report Abuse

How to Dual boot windows 7? -
Use windows built in partition manager, or download one http://gparted.sourceforge.net/, delete your Ubuntu partition, create a new partition, restart and install windows 7 on your new partition.
Windows vista to windows 7 beta please help ? -
I am afraid it is almost certain you have lost Vista. If you don t have a Vista Installation Disc then it is gone forever, unless you are prepared to fork out for a copy of Vista. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way, sorry. LUG.
i think you did i m sorry for your your loss. RIP WINDOWS VISTA BOUGHT-HATED-CRITICIZED WE WILL SOON FORGET thats way I didnt download it yet because idk if i can go baCk!!!
Well if your chose to install it on the same partition as Vista, you are screwed. If you chose to dual-boot(install two operating systems on one computer) then you will be fine. Even if you did make a restore point, it wouldn t matter because when you format, it will remove everything anyways. Besides, why would you want to go back to Vista? Don t you enjoy the new features amp; updates that Windows 7 brings to you?
Install your Vista disc.. boot from bios select your language insert your vista key delete old partition with windows 7 beta select the deleted partition Re-install Vista ^gt;^
you werent suppose to install it on your primary pc, its BETA. i guess you are going to have to reformat.
How do I create a pdf from a Word 2007 file using Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional running Windows Vista? -
Since you already have vista, Im sorry to say vista has compatibilty issues with some software and some applications. Since vista released early, the manufacturers didnt and some still dont have drivers for certain software. Just wanted to make you aware of that. Anywho...in MS Word 2007, upper left hand corner there will be a FILE tab and click on that. Click on Save as...and under the bar where you name your file, there will be a bar that allows you to select what format to save your file. Hopefully MS Word 2007 supports pdf. format. If not, Microsoft failed to supply their customers with a great operating system.
When will Windows 7 Beta be back online for DL? -
Check the blog on the official site. All info is there. You can dl the ISO file, but the key will not be available till later today.
Need help on changing partition for Windows 7- Mac user? -
Use the Disk Utility application to reformat the partition. It s in the Applications gt; Utilities folder.
If you have Mac why would you want Windows anyway. Obviously you don t like Windows.
How to go back to Vista, after Windows 7 installation? -
you have to go buy a vista disk or see if the company that made your pc can give you a disk......... thats why you never install a beta as your main os especially if you don t have the disks to re install your previous os
You will have to boot from the Vista disc and delete the partition in which Windows 7 was installed. Then create a new partition and format the drive then install windows Vista in that. Thanks and regards Rahul
Should I install Windows 7 on my laptop? -
http://inthisall.chills.it A very informative website you can also get much information in websitece, global drop shipping, accept PayPal, very good customer feedback.
Windows 7 is only a Beta version right now, actual version is still a few years away....I would say try xp first and hope you can find the drivers... pretty sure you wont be able tp find windows 7 drivers....
Windows 7 Supports Vista Drivers so if there are drivers for vista there are drivers for windows 7, Windows 7 Runs well on older systems so i have been told but remember windows 7 is beta release and will stop working in august.
Damn ur lappy passes the WIN 7 Beta test. And the beta version is also faster bt may not have all drivers. so although the specs are good and ur lappy will definitely run faster than it does with current vista (am not comparing it with XP if u happen to have one), one thing u ought to remember that it/or u may not be able to load/find all drivers (audio, video or fingerprint or camera (if ur lappy does have one). But you won t know until u give iot a try, as Microsoft has not released all drivers for it yet and still collecting info from users/ beta testers. So go ahead and give it a shot. But be forewarned, backup all that u love(ur data ) on the present hard disk, as there r high chances or risks that u will eventually lose ur present data in process of researching the new OS. **Thsi is the Beat release of Win7, need to wait till may be oct 09 for he final release!
Hi mo, My name’s Ron and I’m a member of the Windows Outreach Team. First, here are the minimum specs for the Windows 7 Beta: ?1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor ?1 GB of system memory ?16 GB of available disk space ?Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128 MB memory (in order to enable Aero theme) ?DVD-R/W Drive ?Internet access (to download the Beta and get updates) Also, unless you’ve already downloaded the ISO, you might be out of luck. However, if you’ve already downloaded, you can grab your product key here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows... Also, keep in mind that Microsoft recommends installing the Beta on a secondary PC, not your primary box. Hope this helps! Cheers, Ron Windows Outreach Team
I installed Windows 7, deleted it... And now I have boot errors? -
Oh yeah, that s probably because the Master Boot Record is in the XP partition. The way to fix this is to put your XP Home CD in the disk drive, boot from CD, enter the recovery console type in fixmbr , which deletes your old Master Boot Record and replaces it with a clean one that only has XP Home on it.
In msconfig the first module is General there have options to repair Original or modify the boot, also in a DOS command:Run type cmd and press enter you run the command named fixboot and press enter, this command can be also used the CD of xp and boot time and select repair the 3 commands to use are fixboot,fixmbr and chkdsk/p after this pull the cd out and type exit and enter.
You were suppose to back up everything (and XP) on a disc BEFORE you downloaded Windows 7. Im not sure why or how to get it back. Either go to a Microsoft FAQ or call Microsoft.
format all the hard drive (both partitions) and reinstall xp home again
What programs work with windows 7 beta? -
No all programs do not work. It s hit and miss right now, I would say more won t work than ones that will.
Like you, Jason, I m still testing, but did you find it odd that you had to turn off the Windows Firewall in order to download the Windows updates?
Anything that worked with Vista supposedly(I;m still testing).
Can u tell me were i can download quot;18 wheels of steelquot;(fulll version free)that i can run on windows 7?thankz? -
Ha! Most likely http://btjunkie.org/ or http://thepiratebay.org/ If you are unsure what a torrent file is and how to use it, then check the help sections on those sites. There is a step by step with links and examples. BTW If possible read the user comments about a torrent to make sure it is not a fake.

If I download the beta of Windows 7, how long does it last and what will happen when with my Vista? -
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. 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... LUG.
It lasts until August 1st. After that, you d need to go back to your old operating system. If you don t do the quot;upgradequot; (ie do a dual-boot), your Vista should remain intact. If you do upgrade, you ll have to reinstall Vista from scratch after the trial is over.
It last until August I believe. Also as long as you install Windows 7 a separate partition, nothing will happen to your installation of Vista. But before doing so, always make sure to back-up your information!
It will last until August 1, 2009 if you have product key. If not 30 days. Back up Vista, you won t get it back. After August, you ll need to reinstall Vista.
i just installed windows 7 but i made it dual boot so i can still use vista lasts till aug 1 2009
I cant get the apple drivers to install on Windows 7 Beta Build 7000? -
Windows 7 Thinks Its On Drive C? -
It depends how you dedicated the space. If you created the Z partition using Vista, then ONLY vista knows that drive letter. If you installed Windows 7 by booting from its own DVD, Windows 7 has its own partition manager built into it. It would then display all of the partitions that you have created using vista. HOWEVER, it will have different drive letters because the drive letters are ONLY seen by the operating system on which they were created. So, if you created a partition and changed its drive letter to Z, then it is seen as a SECONDARY partition in vista. Vista boots from its primary partition, which automatically labels itself, drive C because that is where it boots from. You cannot change the drive letter of a booted operating system. Like I stated above, the letters are DEPENDENT on the operating system that they were created from. Vista sees it as Z, because IT labeled it as Z. Windows 7 sees it as C for 2 reasons: 1.) It is the primary boot partition for WINDOWS 7 2.) the vista partition is labeled as another letter because it is not the primary boot partition for Windows 7 So really, you can t Change them at all. The only thing you can change is the drive letter of the OPPOSITE operating system. (windows 7 changing vista drive letter, vice versa) All in All, no matter what you do, each operating system CANNOT see the drive letters of the other one - they re not OS independent. Good Luck. Hope this helps. Email me for more assistance.
windows always saves its stuff to c so u will only see your windows 7 drive in windows 7 as c. to see your vista partition in windows 7, click start, right click computer, click manage, click storage, click disk management ( its disk management local if your windows 7 is one a different partition as the drive with vista), right click on the partition that has vista on it. click change drive letter and paths, click add. as soon as you give your vista drive a letter, in windows 7, you will be able to see all your vista stuff in windows 7
