Windows 7 (29)

1 Name: MastaT : 2011-08-16 17:16 ID:tzm7Y0Fk [Del]

Okay, so my computer runs on vista and ive been thinking up upgrading to windows 7.. Since everyone praises window 7 for bein better than vista(which i wont argue with since i have bad experiences with windows vista).
What I want to know is, if i upgrade my pc, what do i have to look forward too? Ive done all the maintainance i know to on it so will 7 gran less freezing?
I mean, i really what to know how the upgrade would make it better before i go out and just try it.
I do have some friends that have windows 7 and their computers dont seem to give them much of a problem at all but i didn't go through their specs to know what else makes it run that well.

well, if you wanna upgrade from vista to 7, i suggest you to fresh install it...but there is one weakness 7 that i experience, some older pc/laptop doesnt support 7, so you have to use vista driver to install it(exmple, launch manager usually in laptop)...

yeah i was planning on a fresh install, i have another hard drive installed that I've backed everything up on. My computers about 3 years old and I ran a recommendation test on my pc and it said 7 home premium or ultimate can run on it..
so I'm thinking I'm going to go for it and install it..

4 Name: setton : 2011-08-17 07:04 ID:y0TQbyqd [Del]

just do it...7better than vista(though vista is cooler bcoz of its black design)...remember to install vista driver when there's no 7 driver...

5 Name: MastaT : 2011-08-17 09:11 ID:tzm7Y0Fk [Del]

lol i never liked vista's design ~_~; i always used a theme for style selector... well its 10 am and im goin for it ;o wish me luck :B

6 Name: setton : 2011-08-18 05:20 ID:GSUUHMc8 [Del]

why dont like vista's black design? Its cool(only theme)...btw, is it done?

7 Name: Anonymous : 2011-08-18 15:31 ID:tzm7Y0Fk [Del]

Yep, its done and I'm diggin it.
Its gunna take awhile to get everything the way I want it though... And, it's just not my style. I like a more simplistic look.. Vista's to sleek for me ;o...

8 Name: setton : 2011-08-18 16:27 ID:X1kWwVk2 [Del]

hahaha, *too sleek? Thats the first time i heard from a user...i know it! Vista theme is cool...btw, nicely done, hope you enjoy 7...

Is Windows 7 really that much better? Since I've gotten Vista I've had no issues. D:

10 Name: MastaT : 2011-08-19 18:21 ID:tzm7Y0Fk [Del]

Well I find it to be much more responsive then vista. My vista... got totally screwed up because of an update for vista... it was so annoying trying to fix.. although I am having an issue with my windows 7 task manager.. it wont end processes...

11 Name: Kishinra : 2011-08-22 16:12 ID:sbkrIvak [Del]

I have Windows 7, It doesn't give me trouble at all, although I had trouble changing my desktop background, ahaha

12 Name: setton : 2011-08-22 23:27 ID:OV9eiYrs [Del]

well, if you have old pc, try using win 7 vs vista...the difference in performance is so significant...thats why its better to go for 7 than vista for old machine...

Greetings, Program.

Windows 7 works fine for me - I really haven't had any problems. But then I never had many problems with vista either, although I do agree that the whole interface was needlessly clumsy to lose.

eventhough this thread is mainly for win7,
i would like to share a link(transfomation pack) for xp to vista

but read the description first!

i even ask all of my friend to identify my custom vista(xp) and they agreed that it turn xp completely into vista...

15 Name: MastaT : 2011-08-25 08:48 ID:tzm7Y0Fk [Del]

o.O I guess I should have put "OS" instead because I was interested in learning the taste of the OS systems. I've used windows 98,xp,vista,and now 7.
I think skins are different from the actual OS unless you were referring to what we were discussing earlier about how vista looked :o..

Shhhhhhh, don't say that word. Say instead that you got the "Jar full of dirt" version.

Seriously, Vista had problems. A lot of them. Windows 7 seems to have addressed those problems. But Windows XP has one-up over Windows 7, and that's the ability to run DOS programs (as in MS-DOS, not Denial Of Service). I will never be able to revisit my childhood on a Windows 7 computer.

@Pintapau

and i LOL'ed at "as in MS-DOS, not Denial Of Service"!
