Does anyone know if Windows 7 Beta can be installed as an update from a XP or must Vista be installed?
Also, has anyone installed Beta 7 as a daul boot?
Thanks, Steve

For Windows 7 BETA, the options available only clean install or Dual boot.

Re: Windows 7 Beta 7 upgrade.
It's better if you do a dual boot. Just create a primary partition on your HDD (about 20-30 GB is ok) and clean install Windows 7 on that partition.
My laptop runs with XP / Vista / Windows 7 and all seem to work fine. Anytime you want to re-install windows 7, just format that partition.
Have fun.
