I have a 6 year XP machine I thought I would use to try Windows 7 out with. I downloaded the file and burned the ISO to a DVD like they suggest, however I could never get it to install.
After many test it turns out my 6 year DVD won’t read either any of the DVD-R and DVD+R discs I made from different sources.
So what I ended up do was to installing Vista on the machine and then installing a virtual clone drive software and was able to install that way.
After I got the 6 year old machine working, I then installed Windows 7 on my wife’s machine and that install went just fine using the DVD I created. On each computer I did a clean install.
As a test I then deleted the window.old folder and it still ran fine.
My only problem is I changed the username on the 6 year old computer and for some reason my wife’s computer still sees that username even though it was changed and now I am having a hell of a time setting up the Homegroup network.
I am thinking of reinstalling Windows 7 again to see if I can fix that username issue. I will report back on my findings.
