Vista and windows7?

[ollie007]

can someone tell me if these 2 share drivers??

what about win2008/server? are they all on vista cores?

The majority of Vista drivers will work fine in Seven.

Hi Ollie,

In addition to Smartey's post, sometimes you will need to use Compatibility Mode with Vista selected on the Vista driver installation file to get it to install in Windows 7 though.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

is it safe to play around with se7en yet??

so is win2008 and se7en built on vista or did they go from scratch?

Oh yes Windows 7 is running great with the 7068 build so far. You can see more about it at our sister site here: Windows 7 Forums.

Windows 7 is similar to Vista, but much better. You can also read more about it here as well.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Sure, once you burn the ISO to DVD using a program like ImgBurn, it will install just like Vista where you can select what drive or partition you want to install it on.

Free:
Paragon Partitioner
BURNCDCC (iso Burner)

burn the paragon partitioner to cd with BURNCDCC, then place it in your drive, reboot, and boot into disk.
