Do windows 7 ultimate boot files take more HD space than basic during initial installation? I ask because I plan to install the boot files on a 64gb SSD then do the usersother stuff on a normal HD to save space. Will ultimate take up more space on the SSD?

View 4 Replies View Relatedpinpoint the EXACT how-to on upgrading a windows 7 basic system to ultimate (both x64bit) without losing any of the softwares and any other data on disk.Overview of issue:I've bought a new lenovo Z580 ideapad series laptop which came pre-installed with windows 7 home basic (x64) which I absolutely loathe as it has no aero themes and I'd like to change my windows to ultimate. My laptop came pre installed with some softwares and features for which I wasn't provided any driver/SW CD so the only way to keep these softwares intact is to upgrade (from what I understand, upgrading windows doesn't wipe off your softwares and program files?)What I've already tried:It seems windows basic can't be directly upgraded to ultimate using windows anytime upgrade. I tried and upgrade failed.I have windows 7 ultimate 64bit installation CD and product key, is there any way to upgrade my system using that and not do a clean windows install?If everything fails, is there any safe to use program or method to get setup files of my existing program files so I can reinstall them after clean windows install?

Both systems are installed, along with the application software, in the C partition of 30 GB with W7HP taking up nearly 4GB more then Ultimate.

Both systems have 2GB RAM, all System Restore points have been deleted, Hibernate is on and I have run both Disk Cleanup (as Administrator) and CCleaner to clear out any junk.

Can I upgrade from Windows ultimate 32bit ver 6.1 ( build 7600) to windows 7 ultimate 64bit edition and keep all of my installed programs and files ?[meaning not having them moved to a new folder called windows.old]
View 3 Replies View RelatedI bought the full retail Win 7 Ultimate and trying to upgrade Windows Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Ultimate, both 32bit. I get to the Expanding Windows files to 21% and nothing. The program is still running and stuck at 21% but after waiting 3 hours I shut power off and Vista was reinstated. Why can't I get past 21% Expanding Windows files? I want to use the upgrade because I have a ton of programs on my Vista and don't want to spend days reinstalling them.

View 6 Replies View RelatedOn my system I am using the following: Windows XP Professional SP3, Visual Basic 6 Enterprise Edition, and Crystal Reports XI Developers Edition. I also have quite a bit of other software.In previous reports I remember reading that VB6 will work with Windows 7 if "AERO" is NOT turned on. By the way, I never went to Vista and I DO NOT know the purpose or use of "AERO".Now that Windows 7 has "Windows XP Mode", is that statement still true? I do some development and maintenance of PC applications in VB6 and do not want to give it up.I would like to go with Windows 7. I have heard nothing but good reports. If VB6 or other related products are going to give me a problem, I just can't do it.
View 22 Replies View RelatedFor starters let me say I know they are probably thousands of different threads on things related to Aero its just they seem to say all the same things and they aren't working.the problem that i have is that yesterday my Aero theme just switched off i think it was after I used tdsskiller tool from Kaspersky but not 100% sure. I've been searching for a fix on Google and everything I do doesn't really work. I've followed this tutorial - How to enable Windows 7 Aero theme? and different ones in these forums and still nothing works.

I recently bought a copy of Window 7 Home Basic. But all my friends and everybody I know that owns a computer have a pirated version of windows running on their computers (Third world problems).I recently read somewhere that pirated Windows CD are backdoored and viruses are installed with windows installation. Is it true? Is it possible for an attacker to do something like that?
