Honestly, you could just run the installation from within Windows and then move over to the new setup. Wipe the hard drive and call it a day. The main thing is that you got it sorted.
Well, damn it. Honestly, you’re just plain wrong. My Setup runs flawlessly every single time. In fact, I’m actually helping my neighbor run his right now without a single hitch.
Coffee, I see what you're dealing with here... And honestly, this probably applies to everyone else too. If you're running an upgrade, make sure you disable your antivirus first.
Jonathan Hayes14 said:To me, Windows 7 just feels heavier. Everything is more cumbersome—you can't just right-click for properties on the desktop to swap a wallpaper anymore without jumping through hoops. Even the Start menu feels overly complicated, almost like using Windows Vista, which I find incredibly frustrating. It’s all too cluttered and frankly, it just confuses me.
I might just revert back to Windows 7, but only if someone is kind enough to track down drivers for my:
What can I say? It works fine on my end. I pulled it straight from the official Microsoft site, and right now I’m just tweaking Windows 7 using Vlite to strip out some of the unnecessary bloat.
It’s weird. If you're missing the install.wim file, honestly, just toss the damn DVD in the trash and be done with it. Is that file actually sitting in the sources folder on the DVD?
So, you're running Windows now, right? Just pop the DVD in and run the setup. Do you get it now? Since Windows 7 isn't even bootable yet. Are you kidding me?
Look, let's break this down for the absolute beginners out there: Just pop the DVD in. The setup screen should launch automatically, then you just click Install Now.
Somehow, I’ve managed to become the accidental beta tester of the week. I’m getting daily update links shoved into my inbox, and honestly, I’m loving it.
If they keep this pace up, my prediction is that once the final version actually drops, we'll be waiting an eternity before we see any new Windows releases.
I’m on the same page as Bryan Wood49 and the rest of the group. I installed build 6956 about three weeks ago, and honestly, I'm impressed. Every single driver works flawlessly. As far as raw speed goes, the OS feels right up there with Windows XP—which basically means it's twice as fast as Windows Vista.
Listen, Morgan Moore37, I took the exact same approach. I downloaded six different serial keys and walked away with zero points to show for it. Every single one I tried gave me the same error message: activation expires in three days... Anyway, I figured it out on my own 🙂
Bryan Wood49, look, I’m not trying to be difficult, but I’ve already cycled through every single one of those serial numbers. No matter what code you throw at it, nothing activates Windows 7—not even that six-month trial period.
