Windows 7 Installation Guide

I think your guide looks really nice jlgager.

I did some search here at the forum and found a similar guide that covered this:

and

See section Part 3 of 4: Install Windows 7 which also provides the link to the above.

Though I must say I think you got it a little more covered and detailed.

Great work.

No unfortunately not, I'm just lurking around over there.
It's a great forum though no question about it, great posts about everything.
I usually hang around here for most part.

 

A couple of Win 7 pre-installation questions.

1) In the MDL website to download the 3 files prior to installation, it is not clear whether this is an upgrade or a full installation kit.

2) If it is a full installation kit, does anyone know whether Microsoft licensing checks whether the activation key is valid for an upgrade or a brand new (full) installation? In my case, I bought an upgrade key and but would like to install Win 7 in a completely new partition if possible as my XP system is running nicely without problems.

Thanks.

 

So its not clear what it is?

1: Full of course...
2: what? then do a new install and use your key. No problemo eh?

 

Could you give the original links to the ISO downloads on The Pirate Bay?

 

There are genuine links in the digitalriver thread, use them instead

 

Still it what?

 

Install ?

 

Nice tutorial thanks

 

So if I install Windows 7 on my friend's computer and they are currently running Vista, I can select to upgrade and they'll be able to keep all of their stuff?

 

Upgrades usually do that

 

Just makin' sure.
