Higgeo Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 windows 7 needs to be on a dvd for one.. and must install windows 7 on a clean install.. back up all your data and format then install windows 7 Yeah thats the way you do it.

w0nder Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Unless you can get ahold of an upgrade disk. That will allow you to keep all your files. That is what I did. Also, when and if you attempt to play ET it will kick you. The way to solve this on 7 is, goto ET folders, show hidden and find punkbusterA and punkbusterB and select to use as admin. Punkbuster got all pissed off @ windows 7 for me for a week or so until I figured that out.. Maybe that helps. Idk.. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh/Faded :) Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The way to do an upgrade is just install it from your desktop and partition it, no need to install it to a dvd if you want to keep all your files you currently have. A clean install is more efficient but an upgrade does the same thing for the most part. SO ya.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckie Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The easiest way to do it, if you know the lingo, is to mount the iso/zip/whatever to a virtual drive. Then just launch the installer. Doesn't even require a DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
