You gonna install Win7 fresh for SP1?
Windows 7 SP1 is released on the 22nd. My OS has been installed since June 2010 and has accumulated a bit of crap on it, although it's working fine.
Therefore, I'm thinking of reinstalling fresh with the service pack. In fact, I can get the install disc with SP1 integrated into it off my friend with an active TechNet sub and just use that. You just gonna install SP1 over the top or reinstall the OS?

Unfortunately nLite doesn't work with Windows 7 and slipstreaming is no longer supported after XP.
Microsoft hired the guy that wrote nLite and made him stop developing it as a condition of employment.

Well, option 2 first. If it fails, option 1. I'd rather save time and I know how to maintain my O/S without reinstalling it every other week.

![]() Still on 32-bit? Yeah, +1 fresh install! Especially as you have 4GB RAM in it and can't use it fully.

Hopefully by the 22nd I'll have a 120Gb SSD waiting for a clean OS install but if not it will be option 2.

Unless it fails to install I'll be going option 2... No need to reinstall every month imo.

But there is vlite. Works with 7. Not sure why Microsoft has a problem with slipstreaming and putting patches inside of a disc so you have it from the start of a fresh install, but they do. http://www.vlite.net/

![]() Once again, they have hurt the legitimate customer while doing nothing to stop piracy. Muppets. ![]() Finally, vlite is very old, so I would recommend its use with caution. Without any recent development, it may well have showstopping problems now with the latest OS release.
