This is the first windows 7 topic I found!

Okay, I'm still running the beta of windows 7 which has now expired to an extent it will shut my computer down every 2 hours. Bitchy thing ;D.

I have bought a studentwindows7thingyupgrademybob. Can I simply burn it to a DVD and use it to install? Or do I have to install vista first THEN new windows 7. Or even is there any other way I haven't mentioned or something.

Got windows 7 at home but it will be a pain to travel home just to sort it out / get my family to post it up. Additionally don't think the product key would work with this version of windows? or am i wrong ;O.

You can install it straight from the disk, no Vista needed.

ok cool. Well I guess I should actually find the file to download now xD

ok, struggling to find the email now . FFSSSSSSSSSSS

FUUUUUUU windows.

Well I guess it's time to wait for a trip home or something It's going to be annoying having a restart every 2 hours now though

Yes.

Markus, if it makes your life easier, you can copy the DVD files to a flash drive and install via that to make life easier.

I just installed Windows 7 two days ago. And I must say I quite enjoy it. My bf had it for a month or so and I really liked it so I made him install it for me as well

meh, I can put up with restarts every 2 hours until I get back home.

Good luck being keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee[WINDOWS SHUTTING DOWN]

[*TURN ON*]een.

He'll time things perfectly to make sure he can get a match between each shutdown

match, restart, match, restart :P

Just set your PC clock back a few months

Yeah I don't think that works, maybe 10 years ago lol.

it's a little annoying but my computer boots again in like 2 mins so as long as no damage is caused then it's fine. Only have to put up with it til Friday.

And there are ways around it already lol.
