My experience installing Win 7 from Vista X64 was far from user friendly.

Made three upgrade attempts that went through about 90% of the upgrade process (including the unreasonably long installation time) before failing.

Gave up and formatted the installation HDD, and did a clean install. Still took more than one attempt to get it to install properly and quite a few resets and updates before it was stable enough to use.

On the plus side, once I got it installed and working, it's now as reliable as Vista 64, only faster. And my Airlink brand WiFi N card worked with minimal effort, unlike Vista 64.

my hopes have leveled up =D

A fresh install is always best.

I haven't upgraded anything to the RTM of Win7, however, going from Vista x86 to Win7 RC x86 was flawless.

I also have the disk in front of me.

My problem is with hard disk space. My computer has a ridiculously small hard drive.

I was trying to play Age of Empires 2 and I noticed that some of the AI players had the same color even though everybody was set to their proper player color :P

The worst part of Windows 7 64-bit for me is that I only have a mere e2160 cpu (dual core 1.8ghz) and 2 gigs of ram. For the student deal I got on it though, I wouldn't pass it up so now I'm set for when I can finally upgrade my hardware. So my dual boot of Windows XP ought to hold me for a while, but I probably should have given that partition more than 100 gigs :P

You need to spend more time online edycating yourself about these thigns. I have 7 different computers, and all of them are hooked up using ethernet cables. Transfer speeds are ridiculously faster through ethernet.

Lol.

He said wireless internet adapter, it's not the same thing as a router.... it's a network card inside your PC/laptop

and what you call a router is actually significantly more than a router, the type of stuff people use at home are called ISR (integrated services router) because they perform lots of functions... routing, wireless, firewall, switching etc.

And as he has already said, ethernet >>> Wireless.

standard cat-5 cables (ethernet cables) will get you a more stable, and much faster data transfer that wireless.
