      IRC Nickname: Groedius Group: Ex-Member Posts: 1556 Member No.: 99 Joined: January 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 256    | Ok so with my PC im getting annoyed because on windows XP SLI mode will only work 1 monitor and i have 2 monitors. On Windows Vista / 7 it will run SLI mode and will work with both of my screens plus i believe windows 7 has multiple other advantages over XP. I was wondering what would be easiest i didnt partition my HDD like i should have when i got it so everything is in 1 place OS and all my files if i straight upgrade ill lose everything. So would it be easiest to create a new partition and put Windows 7 in there and everything will work ok ? --------------------   | ||

However, dual booting is relatively simple, just partition the HD using Gparted or the Windows default one (assuming it exists on XP, I don't remember) and then just use that to install (there is an option when you run the install disk). It would probably be a pain long term, and most programs would have to be reinstalled due to compatibility/registry issues anyway --------------------  Joined September '04 | ||
