Will I loose my programs after i install windows 7 beta? -

I am about to download windows 7 and i was wondering if I will loose all my programs if i do install it.

Depends on whether your doing a clean installation or upgrade. If your using Windows XP or older, your going to have to do a clean install, which wipes the drives. If your using Windows Vista with SP1, you ll perform an upgrade install, which allows you to keep your programs.

Yes if you upgrade your Os of vista and don t since this is a beta version.Make a another Partition at least 25gb. First learn how to partition so you mess up your computer :D Use the bottom link to make a separate partition to install it to separate the two OS wish I can show you a screenshot using my other computer.

Yes you will lose your programs. Inorder to install it you ll have to format your drive. Unless you partition it first or swap out your hard drive for another one (or have multiple and pick an empty one) you will lose all your files and programs on that drive.

No not all data. For eg if you have 3 drives, the setup will ask you to specify the location where you want to install it. For installation , you have to format only 1 drive , not all the drives.

You will not lose anything. You need to have an empty partition to install it on. It should be good. If you dont know how, you can go on craigslist and pay someone around 20bucks and they will do everything for you.

If you don t know that you should not be using a beta OS. Anyway yes, yes you will if you install over your current os.

NEW OS windows 7 BETA 1 question!!? -

im currently using windows vista 64 bit OS and i was wondering whether or not I could use the new 7000 build that piratebay has. It says its 32 bit which makes me think that i cannot use it. Will windows 7 beta 1 work with current games such as steam/cod4,5/crysis. And will there be a 64 bit version on january 13? or will it be the same as the piratebay version. thanks!

MS - quot;If it run s Vista it ll run Windows 7quot; 32-bit will work on anything 64-bit does, but 64-bit will only work on 64-bit hardware/software. so your fine. As for working with games, it should do, It kinda ties in the quot;if it runs vista it runs win7quot; comment i suppose. Read up on exactly how to dual-boot Win7 with Vista, and back up important stuff in case you balls it up. I m gonna give Win7 a shot soon(already got it on disc) just got a bit more on my plate. Dunno the legality of it all, it s set to lock down after June 31st, and MS are gonna be handing it out for free, Piratebay are offering it up earlier than MS planned( and it s still speculation if MS stuck it up their in the first place for good press)

it probably would be fine if u can run those run those games and but it might either erase ur vista or u could just uninstall it i dont know about that part any ways and if it off of pirate bay i would scan it when it gets to ur desk top so u can see if it comes with a virus or read the comments bye !!!!

If it worked with vista it would but i think you are not allowed to post this kind of questions here though btw there s already a 64-bit version of windows 7 let s say that some old friend has it if you know what i mean?

What do testing users of the Windows 7 BETA operating system think are advantages and disadvantages? -

I have downloaded and will probably try the new Microsoft Windows 7 BETA operating system. First I would like to know what current users think. Are there known issues?

For me, being a beta tester of Vista and 7, Windows 7 starts up significantly faster than what XP and Vista did on my laptop. Note that Windows 7 is far from perfect though. I still had to install my video drivers and sound drivers. As noted by other beta testers, it had an issue with MP3 music files and another issue with UAC and Gadgets. Also, there is an issue with GameGuard (it fails to load with or without UAC enabled) and online games. I tried to upgrade it from Windows XP but couldn t. I did a fresh install instead. There is also a slight issue with the rendering of the Desktop with iTunes. I will find more if I have the time.

I haven t found any issue with Adobe CS3 Master Collection and a few more small programs -Free Download Manager, CCleaner, Mozilla FireFox, PowerISO, VLC, Trillian, uTorrent, etc. Also, Office 2007 installs fast as well -about 20 min. whereas it took over an hour on XP and about 45 min. on Vista.

Try it yourself, I made a new partition and installed windows 7 on it, try that, because all your other os files should be on a different one.

I tired it out and liked it the only problem I had was the resolution on my monitor other than that im excited for when they go to actually release the version and hopefully alotve flaws get fixed.

Windows 7 is very fast, faster than Mac Leopard and Vista. Its also very stable and is much more organized than vista and xp.

Yahoo messenger for windows 7? -

why i can t running yahoo messenger 9 in my windows 7? please help me, thanks

try running yahoo messenger for vista on windows 7. It may work.

I think it wont run because Windows 7 Is Still In Beta and Yahoo Messenger wont support it until Windows 7 is released publicly. Just download an older version or use a multi-support messenger.

Do you mean Internet Explorer 7? That s your browser, not your Windows Version Do this, go to: http://oldversion.com/ and download Version 8. Version 9 is not working well for most people.

I want to buy a new computer. but now that windows 7 is coming up i am undecided. what if I buy it now and ? -

windows 7 is released and i regreat having bought a computer with vista. should i wait or buy now

Microsoft has said that the rumors of windows 7 being release in oct 2009 is false, windows 7 is in the planning stages and development they don t see finishing it until 010 or 2011. so if you want to wait that long then its up to you and even when they finish windows 7 in 20010/2011 that doesn t mean they will release it they want to get as much out of vista as possible.

Windows 7 is not being released until late next year at the earliest. Hopefully anyone who has Windows Vista (me included) should be offered a free upgrade to the new system. Even if we are not, Vista will continue being available just the same as Windows XP is still available.

Unless Windows 7 can make sandwiches and beer, I will stay with XP Pro SP3. Anyway, you won t have to make that decision until around 2011 or so...and the Mayans said the world will end in 2012, so save your money and have a party. LOL

Comes out late this month or the next, just wait xD. http://windowseven.co.cc/index.php/2008/...

erm well id see how long till windows 7 is out then make your own judgement but if its not urgent id wait

Should I get Windows Vista Ultimate or should I wait for Windows 7 to arrive? -

best is to wait for windows 7, as i am using a beta release, and i must say it is a thousand times better and faster than win vista..

If your hardware can handle it, get Vista Ultimate. Windows 7 is based upon Vista, so you ll have a chance to get used to the interface. Also, Windows 7 is supposed to ship in 2010, but there s no guarantee that the date won t slip. I remember them talking about Longhorn (Vista s code name) back in 2000, and it took them 7 years to release it.

I think you should get Vista Ultimate, if you need a computer right now. Waiting for Windows 7 to be release before you get a new computer might be too long. If you can waiting that long, go for it.

windows 7 is out in 2010 and that is a long time from now windows vista ultimate is here today so make your choice wait until 2010 or today it is so obvious today is the answer don t you think?

W7 is supposed to be releaed in winter 2009 My suggestion is if you do not play games or use it for work, then try out Ubuntu Linux. Its free, see the link below

Better go for Vista it takes a long long long long time for microsoft to release windows 7

well windows 7 will be comming out in a long time, vista has only just came out so i dont think microsoft are going to rush a new release
