Windows 7 >>

[Inscribe]

Hey, I want to download windows 7 over my existing windows Vista machine.
The only thing is i dont have a CD/DVD Rewritter, so i can burn the disk.

Although i do have a memory stick from which i can add the Windows 7 files to. My question is,

Can i download windows 7 to my Memory Stick, and install windows 7 that way?

Thanks for any help.

yeah, and boot from the memory stick or I think you can just click upgrade but i'm not sure, well you can with XP and Vista

Thanks, does anyone know a link to where i can download windows 7 either torrent or somewhere else.

Also how to boot from the memory stick

[Wootzeh]

download the .iso and mount it with deamontools and run the setup.exe

Can anyone find a download link for it, when i search on torrents theres loads of versions.

Thanks

go on microsoft.com and download the RC1, you would probably have to downloaded the home premium 32bit(x86) version.

yeah, i don't have anything like that, but i just downloaded the .iso from the microsoft website, and ran the setup.exe without having to burn it, it worked fine :)

Worked fine with me and my external hdd, which is the same.

Get Virtual Clone Drive -> Mount the ISO -> Run setup.exe -> Select partition -> DONE

Download that, stick it on memory stick, turn off comp/laptop plug her in, turn it on, boot from stick, bish bash bosh, your ready.
I don't even have a CD drive, I'm using an Acer Aspire One. :D

Same I did this on my MSI Wind U100 but just used my external to burn it to disc.

Best thing for all you fellow netbook users is to get an external DVD/CD drive, it's well worth it. ;)

Just a tip, if you are a gaming player (MMORPGS, FPS etc) then using Windows 7 isn't recommend. Browser games are fine.

team fortress works fine for me.

team fortress works fine for me.
Some games do but others don't because the companies refuse to make it compatible with Windows 7 until its fully released. E.g Most of gameguards games etc.

Or if you are a netbook user testing different OS's, a memory stick is much better, you can use them the same way you would use a live CD. :D

If I want to burn a Xbox game what do I do? I'm not going to put it on memory stick, am I?
No, didn't think so.

No sir, you would use a lighter/open flame.
Or use a CD burner, but for what reason does an Xbox CD have to come into a discussion about Windows 7?
Goon.

[Wolverhampton]

Where does this argument come into conjunction with this thread? that's rite, it doesn't?

Get back on topic "goon".

[syko2006]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Mr uptight!
All hard behind a computer screen.
Goon.

[Wolverhampton]

I'm not acting hard? are you able to see through PC screens or something?

[syko2006]

Yes, I have extreme powers.

[Wolverhampton]

I was thinking more along the lines of psychic powers.

[syko2006]

More or less the same thing.

[Wolverhampton]

No completely different in which ever way you look at it.

[syko2006]

Okey dokey. :)
