So i can install win7 on my computers at my house then the 1 at my work and be fine?

twilyth · Aug 26, 2009

I haven't read the technet agreement, license, whatever. I think technically it would be a violation but I also believe there is basically a zero chance of MS getting upset about it. I'd go for it. :rockout:

Is it your computer at work?

yea but id install it on the one-2 computers at work then install it on like 6 pcs at home

DanishDevil · Aug 27, 2009

If they are owned by you, then it's good by their TOS, IIRC.

You should be good. Read the full ToS if you're still nervous.

It will probably pick up. Downloads can be flaky, but it is definitely the exception.

It works pretty quickly for me too, here in the UK. However, it's not always as fast as my "up to" 8Mb (laugh) connection allows.

Ahhh, you can finally add me to this list. Got my subscription today. Wooohoo!

As far as connection speed, the MS servers completely max my connection when I leave it uncapped. If it's not maxing your connection, check the MS File Transfer Manager options to make sure you don't have it throttled.

Quick question, are all the Win 7 x64 isos created equal like the Vista isos? Just wondering if I have to download both the Ultimate and Business iso, or if all the versions are already on every iso.

How long does it take to get your keys? (or is it instant?)

That makes me want it more. :laugh:

I will probably get a subscription (late November/early December).

Is payment for it by credit card? Or can I use paypal or something? Maybe debit?

I used my debit card, which is a Visa, so it works like a credit card anyway.

they half include other versions.

By deleting a file off the ISO (EI.CFG) you can 'unlock' the disk - ultimate contains home basic, home premium, professional, and ultimate.

its a pain to recompile it as a bootable ISO after the fact, but its easy as pie if you combine it with my installing off a flash drive.

a pain to recompile it as a bootable ISO? With power ISO you could probably do it nicely. Just a though.

Also what is the point of installing off a flash drive?

i tried with powerISO, and it came out corrupt and unbootable. unsure why that happened. (bad disk, bad burner, etc)

flash drive? faster, easier, easy to modify files if needed (service packs etc)

That is interesting, I may install Win7 like that (through USB) when I sign up for my subscription. I would imagine it is only faster if you have a USB 2.0+ port (one of my older computers only has a USB 1.0)?

Mussels · Aug 30, 2009

yes you'd need USB 2.0

Wonderful, but does this reduce the life of your Flash Drive dramatically? Also how much faster is it to do it that way?

i had 7 installed and running steam in 14 minutes from first boot.

and no it doesnt - it only reads off it once, its not the same as running an OS from it.

Wile E · Aug 30, 2009

So, I'm trying the "USB" trick, but I can't find my 16GB flash drive (the only one I have bigger than 2GB), so I decide to give it a shot on my unused 60GB 2.5" Sata drive out of my PS3.

I'll let everyone know how it goes. lol.
