    Evaluating Windows 7

    Ive done a fresh install of windows 7 which was lovely and nice and quick! But has anyone tried an upgrade from vista to 7? fresh install was about 20 mins, upgrade took about 3 hours and was painfully slow after the install as well. Luke

    Hi, I had a computer come in that was running unbelievably slow after a reinstall. After waiting quite a while for start-up (bearing in mind it was a clean install) i could see nothing obvious causing the problem and put it down to a bad install so thought Id do a re-install. HA! that didnt...
