I am trying to determine if I am feeling adventurous enough to try doing the Windows 7 install tonight. Maybe I should wait till tomorrow.

is windows 7 going to be safe on it? Vista screwed up everything when it was put on a even 6 month old computer...

Yeah but Vista was a POS from the word go.

I downloaded the Win7 compatibility advisor and there were a couple of my programs that weren't able to run with 7, but all of my hardware and stuff was fine.

It's an upgrade right? (you aren't clean installing it onto an empty hard drive) It would take about 2hrs I would say, but then you gonna get the updates and whatnot, but it's a much more faster and efficient upgrade, then let's say upgrading from Winxp to Vista, because Win7 is basically still Vista, but gutted out.

I was planning on completely wiping out the hard drive so I could start fresh.

Yeah. I have had this thing for 4+ years and I have never done it.

It's getting to be in desperate need of a good wipe out to get rid of miscellaneous junk that has managed to collect on the hard drive and in the system registry.

yeah he wasn't too excited but I think he didn't fix it right the first 2 times... I can only assume that it was a facebook app that caused it... Not doing those anymore.. grumble

I know. But, like I said, it's been four years since I bought this computer and I have never done it with this one. I am kinda surprised it had held up as long as it has. lol

I hear ya, just bought 2 new ones. I got tech support last spring and they killed my computer and had to wipe it out and start over. The I dropped my going from airport to hotel and broke it. Got it going again but was afraid it was going to crash soon so I bought a new one.
