  1. Saying goodbye to XP

    02 August 2011 - 01:32 PM

    I scored a legal copy of Windows 7 Ultimate retail for doing a repair job. I ran the advisor on my trusty old home built desktop and both of my Thinkpad T42s. None were ideal candidates, but the 15" Thinkpad with the ATI Mobility Radeon 9600, SXGA+ screen, Atheros wifi card and 1.5GB of RAM was the better choice.

    I slapped in a spare 100GB PATA drive, formatted it NTFS with my XP cd and installed Win 7 yesterday afternoon. I grabbed all updates from MS including SP1, installed MSE, SpywareBlaster, MBAM and other favorite programs. I also installed the System Updater from Lenovo for Win7. The best drivers for my graphics (even though AERO wasn't supposed to work it does quite well), sound and wifi came from MS Updates.

    This laptop is flying compared to when it had XP installed. It will be hard using my old XP systems now and I can't wait for Windows 8. :thumbsup:

  2. It's someone's birthday.
