Go for Win 7, available from the usual sources.

definetly win7 Ultimate edition. and if your pc has the appropiate componenets (CPU and ram) go for the 64bit edition

thanks mate been looking about and lots of people think there are trojans attached to the bootlegs available for download unless you no of one thats ok

What's all this bootleg talk?

You just need a standard Win7 download, whichever version you want. Install it & don't enter a product key. That will give you a 30 day trial.

Then you just use Daz Loader or WGA Chew to activate it.

I run 7pro at home. Not seen any problems yet, but there's always compatibility mode on Pro & Ultimate. Install the troublesome program & select XP mode in the compatibility options.

All depends on spec of the system. XP requires less resources to run than windows 7 so is suited more to older machines

[manxspud]

True but i have had win7 running on a netbook with no problems

[gopher7]

I've got win 7 ultimate running on a Samsung N150 Netbook, not had any problems yet.

Here's a download link for WGA-Chew.

Just uploaded it, virus free.


@Gopher7
How the hell did you get 7 working on an N150? Mine struggles with XP at times.

I did have 7 working on a single core 1.7Ghz laptop with 512MB & IDE drive. It was slow & multitasking was none existant
