-- Posted by XxHeroHeroinexX at 4:52 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 And im wondering if installing Windows 7 will erase my current version of windows and all its contents... so...? -- Posted by ManiacPenguins at 4:53 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 Install it on a dif partition and you will be fine. -- Posted by h a t t at 4:53 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 you can upgrade vista but i'd recommend installing it on a seperate partition. (upgrading shouldn't erase anything) -- Posted by UltimaTaz at 4:53 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 Mis-read. Ignore it -- Posted by Pendulum at 4:53 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 Oh yes. -- Posted by r o c 2 at 4:53 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 damn a new windows comeing out? vista just came out lol -- Posted by Eclipse2005 at 4:54 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 Lol, illegal for the major loss.

But you can't use the feedback system as they don't care about non-partner/WinConnect people. -- Posted by marshmellowman at 5:02 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 Quote: from Eclipse2005 at 12:57 am on Jan. 7, 2009 But you can't use the feedback system as they don't care about non-partner/WinConnect people. Most people just want to try it and couldn't give a shit about actually trying to give feedback. OP: You can upgrade it, but it's probably best to partition your drive and set it up separately because it is a beta, and it will expire, so if you don't buy Win 7 before the expiration date then your system will effectively not work. I installed it on my MacBook over the 6801 beta, and it works quite nicely. It even recognised my external screen using the miniDVI port, I was quite impressed. I don't really have much use for it other than to just test it out and for the rare times I do need to use Windows.
