^^^ FanBoy. :rofl

There is a reason why Windows still owns the majority of the world PC market. Let’s not get into that here.

The reason why MAC’s don’t get virus’ etc. is because no one writes virus’ for them. Too small of a market to affect.

Not for the crazy download torrent whatever version, I mean the legit student upgrade. I’ve never loaded a new operating system before.

Oh.

Yeah, it’s pretty foolproof. Pop the CD in, your PC should boot to the CD (if not you’ll have to find out how to get to the boot menu on your model laptop/PC).

After that, just follow the on screen prompts.

If you have questions, post in the Official Computer thread and I’ll walk ya through it.

Which is why Windows has such a huge market share over it and always will until Mac tackles that segment of the market.

And actually…if you know how to use a computer and keep it running, you won’t have issues with any version of Windows. I never get blue screens of death, etc.

That’s because I know what I’m doing and don’t install everything under the sun, etc.

He said he’s never loaded one before…so I assume he’s planning to get a student copy from a friend, etc. (the legit licensed disc).

JClark, if you want I can do this for you (obviously for a fee). I can migrate all your data over, etc. I charge $20/hr. Typically something like this (if you had a lot of data to move over/programs to install) would take 2-3 hours.

$20/hr is still better than the $60+ Geek Squad charges.

No I can prob still get my legit student discount.

I’m in VA til Dec, so I gotta find another way. If I can just put in a CD and click install, it’s coo.

It’s the full version. I completely wipe my machines before re-installing an OS. Never upgrade.
