Windows 7..

**SeVeReDiStOrTiOn** · 12-06-2009, 08:19 AM

Just installed this bad boy yesterday....64-bit home edition upgrade from xp

So far no issues with program compatibility (new OS plus x64 I thought there would be) and even though it's prettier it runs a lot faster/smoother than xp. Only issue so far is with my iphone, sometimes it won't register that I have it hooked up.

Anyone else runnin her?

Welcome to Vista "Lite"

**raynor139** · 12-06-2009, 02:00 PM

Upgraded on my new pc from Vista to 7 about a week after it came out. So much nicer.

Ive been running pre release and the ultimate version for some time and havent had any problems.

**Hot Black Trans-Am** · 12-20-2009, 03:40 PM

I've been running it since the first beta release. Much better than the previous MS OS's. Everything I've ran it on is much faster than XP/Vista.

yup running Enterprise edition ..i upgraded from vista...i didnt have a huge problem with vista..but 7 is sooo much smoother and the layout is awesome

**Hot Black Trans-Am** · 12-20-2009, 03:54 PM

I even have it on a bastardized HP 4410t thin client!

**KahanaReef** · 12-20-2009, 04:00 PM

So, what about drivers? Any issues with older scanners, software and such like with Vista?

my 4 year old e1505 came with xp and is vista capable with a duo core processor. is my pos powerful enough to handle win 7?

**Hot Black Trans-Am** · 12-21-2009, 07:04 PM

If you have a duo core I'd say so. I'm running a centrino 1.7 w/2 gig ram. If you run 2g's no problems. A bit sluggish with 1 gig though.

Yep, running the Ultimate Version 64 bit.

Its like Vista SP3. LOL

**KahanaReef** · 12-24-2009, 08:13 AM

I've got Ultimate 64 sp2. I've installed sp3 twice and uninstalled twice

It really slowed me down for some reason and made it run like it had a short circuit or something

I hardly have any trouble with this laptop. As a matter of fact, it's been the most trouble free name brand computer I've ever owned. Had it built to order.

I just don't like ie8 or sp3

Oh, and the whole ie8 thing was your fault

Yes you did!

**FSANE** · 12-25-2009, 12:56 PM

I just got my PC that I ordered early this week. I came with W7. I am a XP guy, so this is new to me. So far I am catching on to it. Like everyone said, it runs very very very smooth. I am starting to like it .

**allbaugh_04** · 12-25-2009, 01:18 PM

I paid 100 bucks for my vista HTPC, so i don't think I'll upgrade since W7 costs more than my computer did.

If its compatible with Vista then it will run on W7. Plus some programs and items that I could never get to run on Vista I have been able to run on W7. Just depends on the item and the support the company puts into it on keeping drivers up to date for the latest OS.
