I just installed Windows 7 onto my laptop and so I went off in search of some good themes for me to use.

I have found a couple but they aren’t installing to the effect that screen shots promised they would.

Is there a proper way to install a 3rd party (custom) theme for Windows 7? Or are the screenshots with the cool looking windows and menus just hocus pocus to get the download numbers up?

I’m looking to try it out, can anyone tell me how to create a new partition and install windows 7 on it? And maybe some detail on windows 7, does it update itself, will my vista drivers work on it? (its a laptop)

Thanks!

I am getting a new laptop which will be eligible for a free windows 7 home premium upgrade.

I also have windows xp on my desktop, will I be able to use the same serial number on my laptop and desktop?

Also, I have read that windows 7 uses less memory, etc and is faster just like xp.

I am about to purchase my first laptop, a Gateway NV5214u. Its my first PC aside from an old, almost unusable desktop. Ive grown up a Mac user and I am going into my sophomore year of high school. I really dont know much about these operating systems. I get a free upgrade to Windows 7 but to me (someone who is not too PC savvy) what are the major and/or noticeable differences between Windows Vista and Windows 7?

I just upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 Pro, it will find everything on my wireless network except my laptop running XP home. I have ran through the network setup on both machines & restarted each. I only see how to setup a homegroup which requires W7 on each.

I just asked a question comparing XP with Vista and the feedback I got wasn’t that bad for Vista. But now, I also have the option of installing windows 7 on my laptop. It has 1GB of RAM, and a 160GB hard drive. I want to make sure that it is ok to install W7 on my system. Will it slow it down? Should I just install Vista Home Premium? Or should I just stick with my current WinXP Home? The programs that I normally use are lightweight. I just need it for internet, and a few more small open source programs. Please give detailed answers!

I have a rather new laptop, and I was wondering if it would be easy to upgrade to windows 7 from windows vista?

Also, would windows 7 run smoothly on my laptop?
I have a 2.0 ghz intel core 2 duo processor and 4gb ram.

Would 7 work ok with my computer?
Would it be hard to install windows 7 (I have never installed an operating system before)?

Thanks
oh, and if I upgrade, will i lose all of my files?

I get Windows 7 Ultimate for free from work, and I bought a laptop with Windows 7 home premium. I was wondering if there was a legal way for me to get home premium on my desktop computer, because I want the ultimate version to be on my laptop.

I realize this question has been answered a lot, but I’m looking for a answer specific to my question. Thank you.

I want to install Windows 7 on my laptop. I have Windows Vista right now. When I am reading the instructions it says that all of the hard drive will be erased and that I will need to reinstall programs. Does that mean all the programs I have installed myself will be erased or does that mean my computer will have nothing on it after I install Windows 7?

when will a laptop/desktop be available to buy form uk with windows 7 on it ? aka when is the release date lol
Cool thanks guy’s cant wait to get rid of VISTA for good !
