Does it really make a huge difference? I'm sure I can find a free copy somewhere.
Having said that, I do game quite a lot, so if it runs more efficiently than Vista...I might bite. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

i was just reading about that to make sure, Ferdi, this upgrade does not require you to save all your files, it is "SUPPOSED TO" leave all that intact from what i just read..
BUT you can never be too sure, save things on an external HDD if you have one, or a large flash drive, or start burning to some dvd's. lol Straight from MS -- QUOTE What does upgrade mean?
Upgrade means you can install Windows 7 by simply inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software into your PC's DVD drive and follow the instructions on your screen. While you're not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it's a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any software upgrade. Get more information about software upgrades and best practices. This post has been edited by samir0189: Oct 22, 2009 - 5:10 PM -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊

Take all your important stuff and burn it to a few blank dvds or a spare hard drive. You should be backing up that stuff anyway, to prevent data loss. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I just finished the install, not one file is out of place. I backed up to a spare HDD anyway, better safe than sorry.
Windows 7 is awesome!

May 2010 the RC will expire.
My coworker's Father-in-law is a patent attorney for Microsoft, so I got a free copy of Win7 Ultimate. It's pretty much leaps and bounds better than Vista. From a professional standpoint I can't wait to get it in and start phasing out XP. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
