I bought the "Home Premium Full Version" (?102.45) comes with 32 and 64 bit discs. I have a 32 bit PC with 4GB memory (HP Pavilion). I had to change the hard drive so I thought it was a good time to change the os as well.

So it was a clean install, took less than half an hour. Took me longer to swop out the drive as I had to search the internet for a "how to do it" guide after I had taken the side off and removed the two screws holding the drive cage and still not being able to budge it. Turned out that there was a catch at the bottom of the cage that required pushing down with a long screwdriver.

"there's always a catch"  eeek:

Having been away for four weeks it is absolutely staggering to find the scale of 'updates' that Misco$oft adds to your PC... It has taken two days to download and install them all...

I fear we will all be forced to upgrade to '7 sooner than we thought...  noooo:

I have today ordered Windows 7 from amazon for ?65. (I think the ?120 quoted earlier is for a 3 license version) It will be delivered tomorrow.

 scared2:

I shall install it on Saturday.

 scared2: scared2:

I may be gone sometime.

 scared2: scared2: scared2:

The main PC I shall install it on has not got much RAM so I may have to increase that, otherwise I anticipate no problems 'cos the upgrade advisor told me so.

I have also ordered Assasins Creed II for the PS3.  cloud9:

I can thusly stab people while Windows 7 ferks up my PC.

I think my cat wants to kill me...
