Yesterday, I upgraded to Windows 7 Evaluation Build 7100 and my computer started to glitch. I want to go back to Vista but since I “upgraded” to the new OS I can’t do so without completely installing Vista again, losing all my currents files if I don’t back them up. I’m curious, though, would a system restore get Vista back?
I have an AOC monitor and Windows 7. The desktop is too big for the screen. Changing the resolution keeps the desktop the same, but makes the icons larger. Making screen adjustments just SHIFTS the screen but doesn’t make the overall display smaller. Any idea how to make the entire desktop smaller so all of it will fit?
Thank you.
Current configuration
“c” – Vista home premium
“e” – Windows 7 BETA
What I would like to do when Microsoft take away the Windows 7 in August is re-install Windows XP Pro, but I understand the presence of Vista on the computer makes that a little tricky.
Re-installing Vista is no problem if that is the way to go.
Just need step by step advice
I got a new laptop from the dell website ( dell inspiron 15 ) and it has a windows 7 update offer. Do windows send me a disk? Does my laptop just update its self? How do i recieve it or what ever?
I was just wondering and think it would be assume idea, as you wouldn’t need to open up media player to View or listen to media as it would be build into windows explorer, and it would also obviate the need for these extra peaces of software. As some people don’t even need to use media player to organize the songs ETC. they can just use explorer. And i also wonder this because you have download media player separate, because it wont be installed with Windows 7? what your ideas on this?
I don’t have any DVD roms, only CDR, which isn’t enough space, seeing as the .iso file for the Windows 7 release candidate build 7100 is 2gb+ in size. Is there a way I could basically run the installation off the flash drive, just like a disk, on a newly formatted computer?
If not, are there any other alternatives?
I recently bought a new lenovo 3000 g530, and one of the main reasons I chose this above others was that I thought that it came with a free windows 7 upgrade.
It runs Windows Vista Home Premium, so I was under the impression that that automatically qualified me for a free upgrade.
But when I try to apply, it does not show my specific model as a qualifier.
Any g530 owners have similar experience?
I have a partition on my disk on which i have both vista and windows 7 but they both are 32-bit. I was wondering if i can install Windows XP x64 on my laptop. Its Acer 6920 and could you tell me the method of installing. Do i just restart the computer, go in to the bios settings and select the cd and run it?
I just got windows 7 and need to get my songs and vids onto my comp from my iPod. The only problem is that Music Rescue is suposedly only for 200, xp, or vista.
I want to install windows 7 onto my Acer aspire 6930g laptop, it is currently running vista. However, i would like to keep all my games and programs when i install windows 7… is this possible?
Basically… i want my computer EXACTLY the same but with windows 7 instead of vista
Please give my a simple walkthrough thank you!!!
