Procedure To Install Win 7 Pro over Win XP Pro for Dual Boot
I do have the serial number of my Lenovo T500.
Looking for instructions. Any good URLs to look at ? My understanding is that if Win XP Pro exists on the laptop, then Win 7 Pro will ask if this is a dual boot install. Do I / Should I make a partition for Win 7 OS ? Resize partitions to allow making a 40G partiton for Win 7 Pro or ? Currently C: 40G Free D: 40G Free I can delete more if necessary. Will Win 7 Pro installer ask for drivers ? If so, where do I put them. If not, do I just finish Win 7 install and then figure out how to install drivers. I need Video, USB, Network WiFi and LAN and audio. What others should I install ? If dual boot is not do-able or impossible, then I can live with only Win 7 Pro install leaving D: with my data alone I hope. Dual boot is what I really need. |
