| 824974 | 2009-10-28 18:37:00 | Definitely :) Heck even Home Premium is enough for the better majority of people, they should have labelled it "Power User Edition" just so that it doesn't have the 'stigma' that you're getting a cut-down edition. Compare them here: www.winsupersite.com You may just be wasting your money getting the Pro / Ultimate version. Also, see here for a final recap on Win7: www.winsupersite.com |

Even then, you can setup XP Mode in Home Premium preovided you have a legal XP liscense As PCTek has mentioned, you cannot perform an upgrade from XP>7 You will need to boot from the DVD, then select "Custom Install" You should backup all data first, but when you upgrade all old files/settings should be in a Windows.old folder in root of the system drive. Once you've got all your data run disk cleanup to clean up all the old files.. Blam |
