  • how did you enable your windows aero? i just already installed windows 7 but its not aero and i tried everything but it didnt work... please HELP ME!!!!!

  • hey i've got Windows 7 ultimate edition 2009 , is there a niewer version (like 2010) and can i get it by downloading (legal and safe ) from somewhere ? plz reply

  • where can i download this full demo version of windows 7

  • I Want Revenge! bit . ly/jerku

    

  • So if i select windows 7 Upgrade, it will turn my vista into a windows old file right? Or will it make it a dualboot. If u see a notherpost like this on youtube, i made a mistake and tried to cancel it.

  • Wait, So when i select options Windows 7 will put vista into a windows.OLD file and then rewrite over with W7 stuff? Or will it make it a dual boot?

  • I just installed the windows 7 what WizKID Has shown in the video

  • @Computerchief100

    Delete windows.old from disk manager btw. i got 20 gigs back from that, and atleast 10 more by deleting my restore points.

  • what recorder you use?

  • make a review on windows 7 full version

  • hello wizkid I got important question for you

    so I got "special" disk for windows and theres 8gb left when I install win 7 will it remove old and make new or I have to install to my big disk and have a dual boot ?

  • why would you need two operating systems on your computer

    ..

    so what can your computer do .. well is can run visa or windows 7 ..

    there's no room for a real program ...

    Tell me the truth .. witch one has no bugs in it ...

    and your answer is windows 8 is looking more promising

  • i downloaded the RC build 7600 and just cracked it with 7Loader :P

  • i already have windows 7 bow down lol it pretty much sexy and amazing im not gonna lie lol

  • I have the XP and want to transfer it to Win7

    how do yo backup ur files? on CD's USB's xD

    or what?

  • I'd recommend an external HD because I assume you have lots of stuff

  • Well if you don't want to backup you can temporarily make a dual boot system. Use a program like Norton Partition Magic to split your hard drive into 2 partitions (one with your XP) and half unallocated. When you run Win7 Installer select the unallocated space to install to. Copy files across after Win7 is installed, then use device manager to format your XP partition, and then combine them both.

    Sounds like a difficult process, but can be done in about an hour. Good luck.

  • BACK UP ... only window 7 programs will only work on window 7 .. all your X.P. program have to be filed in the bin

  • @xxxMittensxcatxxx

    Go to Microsoft's download center, look for the easy transfer wizard to an external hard disk. After you finish installing Windows 7, run the .exe on the external hard disk.

  • I plan on installing it ontop of Vista and doing a clean install.

  • man you sound a little bit like the actor Joe Pesci, the guy in Casino :P

  • If i have Windows XP and i do a trial out for 3 months, do i lose my stuff ?

  • No because it dosen't format ur c drive it Duals operatring systems

  • yes

    u gotta backup ur files

    Like me. I want to transform XP to Win7

  • that seemed messy, dunno if it's worth the trouble :P not so good with computers^^

  • if you get the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade not full version. Can you still do dual-boot?

  • @PlatinumBattler, you can do dual boot but you have to install the separate operating system you want to dual boot with

  • ok so if I want to install windows 7. I have windows vista rite now and it shows I have a C and D -drive, when I install windows 7 clean install do I have to split my drive in half like you did or I can just install it without splitting my drive. I'm not going to run two operating system so I guess I don't have to split them or partition rite. But why do computers always come with a C and D- drive even though is for one operating system.

  • jart122, disk C is where they store all the programs u have for e.g. mozilla firefox etc.

    disk D is where all the data is kept idk why its like that just go with it

  • @skokaa

    No, disk letters vary by hardware, disk D isn't for data, on my laptop it is the DVD/CD burner, and on my desktop it is my recovery partition, you can change the drive letter very easily. :)

  • Ok we know how to split a etc drive simple! but how to you dual boot it with vista ?

  • After partitioning the drive you have Win7 installed on the C drive and a block of unallocated space (do not format this in disk management).

    Insert Vista install disk, you should be able to choose the unallocated space to install to as part of the install process.

    Once you have two OS's installed simultaneously you choose which to load in a simple menu when you power on PC.

  • and i want download link

  • where do you get the cursor

  • download!!!

  • Woah! That looks ALOT like Vista!

  • Retail is the final version of win7

  • I got the RTM : )

  • if i download windows 7 will it reck my windows xp? will i lose my xp? will i lose all my applications?

  • i would think u would

  • Yes you will lose all your programms

    But when you install windows 7 it will create a folder called

    old windows there is all your programms what you can re-install

  • Dual boot it, I did it tonight.

    Norton Partition Magic- split XP drive into two partitions.

    Insert Win7 install disk. Choose to install to unallocated space.

    You can now choose to boot to XP or Win7 whenever you turn on PC. By doing this you don't lose apps or files.

  • kurva anyád

  • If i boot windows 7 over my vista, will it keep the files? or would i have to recover them from my external hard drive?

  • Can you please send the link for the ISO because Microsoft Stopped providing the download..only the keys

  • @haguylerman

    I think you can torrent Windows 7 and use an activator.

  • got the RTM

  • is the RTM the same as the RC??

  • yeah

  • No the RTM ( Release to Manufactring ) is the Final Version of Windows 7 The RC is a beta and the testing program : )

  • yes with minor-medium updates

  • how do u have 3 partitions on the 500 gb hd the total is more than 500gb.. is the partition 1 part of the primary 250 gb partition 2 ?

  • Comment removed

  • do you have to put it on a cd/dvd or is there an alternative way?

  • no not really unless you are installing it on virtualbox or virtual pc

  • Yes there is another way send me a message back if you would like to know how.

  • yo it`s going to expire on my birthday on 2010

  • happy birthday Jvk :) Microsoft is gonna give u a present, it will take away ur windows 7 :)

  • Can you install it xp home edition

  • lol expire 2010 .... its already expired ..haha

    bad u

  • what?

  • Very good videos. Thanks for the review.

  • where cani get this

  • is there a way to make my windows 7 partition any bigger.

    right now its 15GB

  • yeah, just go into the disk manager that pcwizkid was in.

    from there, select your windows 7 partition and right click on it. if you have any extra space, you can select extend the volume. You can only extend to unformatted space.

    So if you have a vista partition on the same drive, you might need to first shrink the vista partition and then extend the windows 7 partition.

  • cool thanks.

  • just a reminder. you probably want to defrag and turn off the pagefile before splitting the disks, because, otherwise, you won't see as much free space as there is on the drive.

  • dude i dont get it how do u install it if you already have vista

  • Well...

    You put the CD into the CD Drive...

    Then a box should come up, and your supposed to click on, "Upgrade".

    That's when Windows 7 comes out, mind you, this is just the beta!

  • Does ATI Catalyst from Win Vista works on Win7 ?

  • should do, if it works on xp it will on win 7

  • ive got vista currently installed and ive made a partition for windows 7, but after i install windows 7 will i be able to acces my files without re-booting the computing and choosing vista to boot?

  • @calumdarroch95 , you will be able to access your files, but certain areas of Windows vista system files you may not.

  • should be able to as long as its ntfs

  • will this work on CD+R?

  • @kassu09, No, you need a DVD

  • @PCWizKid i always wanted to ask you this. what are the specs of your man pc you use?

  • @TheTechKid101, to the general public without getting an illegal copy , yes build 7100 is the latest.

  • 10/22 is the day for 7

  • So does the windows 7 installer, partition your Hard Drive for you or do you have to do that?

  • @updown454 , it asks you during the install if you want to customize and chose the partition and then gives you the screent actually partition if you need to.

  • So when you clicked "new" during install. It partitioned it?

  • nvm Just heard you say it will expire.

  • after it boots up the first time do you have to leave the install cd in

  • @dominater2156 , after you have verified you are at the windows 7 login screen (after the installation) you can take out the DVD.

  • ok thats what i thought but i didn't want to mess up my computer

  • Okay, its a little confusing but let me make sure i got this right.

    First i need to download the iso, then do i put it on a dvdr or cdr?

    then i go into the bios menu and change it to where the cd drive boots first.

    then i start it up and select custom settings and split the drive into 2 partions and put windows 7 on one and vista on the other, what if i dont have vista discs?

  • you have to burn it to a dvd

    you don't need vista dics just have a partion to install it on.

  • so if i install it a partion it with vista a windows 7, when windows 7 expires will it automatically go back to windows vista fully

  • no windows vista will be complete erased unless you back it up but its alot easier to just make a seperate partition for it

  • do u know that u dont have to burn it to a dvd. u can just extract the iso using winRAR or 7-zip and run the setup.

  • wdf? when I download it isnt an ISO

  • the partitioner (not sure if it's a word) in the setup for it. you delete your partition and where it says new split the value in two(make sure there at least 20gb in size. then choose one and continue through the setup.

  • The active ISO burner says "burning error" when I put the w7 ISO on it. Any help? :)

  • Reduce burning speed or use better DVD-R's

  • how

  • Comment removed

  • should have downloaded directly from microsoft then =P

  • Comment removed

  • can I ever change back from Windows7 to XP?

  • Why do you want to change back? Windos 7 RC is awesome, better than XP or Vista.

  • Is it safe to just upgrade from XP to Windows 7? my PC is Vista capable.

  • how do u boot your computer?

  • @Max4Z , you need to change your BIOS startup options and specify that the CDROM drive is 1st, then the Hard drive is second. That way it will boot from the CD/DVD drive to install it. Then later you can leave it like that or change the BIOS back once you have finished installing Windows 7.

  • win 7 f..... ruleeeeee

  • i installed it way you did but when its over with finalizing it restarts over and over again...nothing else happens..it cant start

  • 7 Rocks. The rest sucks.

  • totally agree. Windows 7 is WAY better than Vista, and even XP as far as Ive noticed. And its great Microsoft isnt charging high prices to upgrade. Cant beat $99 for the Ultimate version I think Best Buy reported

  • Yep thats right. Its my main OS when RC was released

  • great video thanks

  • can i just replace xp? XD

  • Im Installing it now! : )

  • ok windows 7 is big shit.. i prefer Xp or Vista lol -.- ... it wil expire??? ok BOGEST SHIT!! -.- oh my god :S

  • First of all i didn't get ripped off!

    2nd i bough the computer with vista and Geforce 8500gt so that's worth it.

    Windows 7 is gona suck so y bother buying it.!

  • You just got vista, dude didn't you hear about windows 7 before you got it, you should have waited man.

  • How to boot the PC with install DVD??

  • If you don't know how to that, something quite basic btw... Stay away from pre-release software, your totally not ready for it.

  • i got this .iso image file and the installer is diff gui then the vid

  • i have it on my P4 2.4ghz with 512mb ram and a radeon x1300.

  • no!!!

  • he modified it before posting it on YOUTUBE!!!

  • Hi, cool videos, all of them, thx. One question. How did U make all this videos? Did U use some special recording software, or U just putted camcorder on front of screen? Thx

  • he uses Camtasia, which costs money but camstudio is free if you need it

  • hey i have a problem when i boot the CD it wont open

  • Might be something wrong with the burned CD. Make sure you burn the .ISO at the slowest possible speed. This ensures the best possible result in trying ot read an OS or any .ISO image you burn. Hope this wasn't too late of a reply lol.

  • PCWizKid-
