Xavi Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 First off, I have windows XP, so if I put up Windows 7, I would be able to switch through both using Grub, right?Also, Windows recommends not installing this on you primary computer, is that valid advice, or can I go ahead and install it on my computer without worries?Thanks, Xavi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eviltyphoon Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 You can just install it in dual boot. Use a partition program and split up your HD, then install windows 7 on the empty piece.About not installing it on your primary pc, thats just because the betawill stop working in a short time, and they don't want you to lose all yer data.

Devogen Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I would hardly call February 2010 a 'short time' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavi Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 But can't I just take it off my system and move all the non-windows7 data to my Windows XP partition once it expires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
