Ok. I am just about to download windows 7 from software4students on my dad's pc.
I need to check though, how does the digital download work? Do I put it straight on to a disc then do it or what??

You should get an ISO which you burn to disk and boot your PC from.

Ahh ok. I wasn't sure what software4students was. Thought it might of been some semi-illegal site offering software out for free to students.Quote:

Agreed. To be honest, when Windows 7 is so cheap compared to older versions, why bother? I won't have to worry about rootkits, trojans, malware or anything knowing it came direct from the source.Quote:

All sorted :)
+Rep to those who I can - the improvement is really noticeable!
I thought windows 7 brought from software4students was an upgrade?
Im not sure if you could do a clean install on it or such?
That's what I thought. And it says upgrade.Quote:

Guess it does work :L
Haha, cheers man. I will be buying it for my newer PC soon then.
Many people in my IT class think the upgrade is only a upgrade so will let them know
As I say - I thought it was.Quote:
