Windows 7 Pro Student deal

**investigater** · 02-09-10, 08:42 PM

I got mine via download (iso) Win7 Pro 64bit ..... burned it to a DVD..... partitioned my HDD and installed fresh. I immediately did a HDD image and saved it to my external then made a repair disk for the, just in case. Never know when something will shit the bed. I also ordered the backup DVD.

I now have WinXP 32bit/WinVista Ultimate 64bit/Win7 Pro 64 to choose from when I boot up. I lub it! :10

Your key will be in your email and email only I believe. You didn't have a download option??

That made me lol!

I really do need to get rid of that resource hog of a epic fail. But shit, I have tons of crap on there from using it for so long before Win7.

They should have given discounts to return your Vista for Win7 for a type of apology.

I do have the download option, but don't have any ISO burning software. I had lots of stuff I needed to do with XP still installed anyways so it was convenient to wait for the disk.

Download the ISO and use this program to burn the ISO to a disk. You need a DVD burner cause it is larger than 800MB. Its around 3 gigs I believe. I have been using this program for years.

Corpse I got mine today... when it was ordered 11/09/2009 as the original ship date.. with them claiming they shipped it several times, and when I threatened to report them to the BBB and have the credit card charges reversed cause they were dicking me around, I got a form email promising me shipment by UPS (which they did give) but wouldn't respond to further emails to provide the tracking # so I was flying blind not knowing if it was coming in, they claim to ship them all in bulk mail (the excuse I was given) and thus the delays as they have no way to track on the orders... sigh I will never do business with student discount software again unless it's in the bookstore after this

What kind of stuff do you have that makes it not worth copying files over for win7 and freeing up the space? Reinstall programs and copy over any other files you need. Should be a fairly simple move.
