| 736304 | 2009-01-10 07:41:00 | Aero is governed by the graphic paower, not RAM, Virtual Machines dont have powerful GPU's!, so no VM of Windows 7 will show off the graphics If u have a GPU that can use aero, aero will work even in virtual machine right? :stare: |

| 736305 | 2009-01-10 07:55:00 | Nope - Virtual PC emulates a 8MB graphics card (www.imagef1.net.nz)! Future versions will apparently allow VMs to use more graphics memory though. |

| 736307 | 2009-01-10 08:11:00 | Make sure you back up your files FIRST. How much spare HD space do you have and which OS are you running at the moment? |

| 736309 | 2009-01-10 08:15:00 | If you want to dualboot with 7, you need to split your disk. This can't easily be done without a 3rd party program or a Linux live disc. Note that just because there is 17GB of disk space does NOT mean you can shrink your HD by 17GB. You may need to to a clean install of XP, create a small partition for it, then use the rest for 7. |

| 736311 | 2009-01-10 08:20:00 | ive done 3 dualboots before without backing up my data because i don't have a big enough hard drive and there's nothing really that important on my computer. | pcuser7895 (12979) | ||
| 736312 | 2009-01-10 08:21:00 | Lol, i dont think its very exciting but i did not even realise it was missing until i saw posts about it haha!@ then the diffrence between aero and no aero must be very small |
