I actually got my copy of Windows 7 Professional for free from school about two and a half weeks ago. I haven't installed it yet since I'm too lazy to backup all my stuff. Once I do that I can do a clean install.
Yes, please, everyone, do NOT do a upgrade. I bought the upgrade disk, but am doing a "custom" upgrade path (aka fresh install). If you do an upgrade it will be slow as shit.
I used an upgrade disk and it's definitely not slow as shit. Then again this is a new laptop so I might not be able to tell as easily.
I did the upgrade (custom), and when I got into windows, I knew something was wrong, it kept alot of my settings, wallpaper, etc, but all the program files were gone. Then I noticed it seemed slower than before, so I formatted it and did a fresh install, boot times dropped by about 1/3, steam took half the time to open, all around much faster. It made my 3.4ghz quad seem sluggish, if it can do that, then something is wrong.
Also I was worried that if I formatted (using the disk on boot), it would not see it as and upgrade (with a blank drive at this point), but I wiped out the partition, formatted, and everything worked fine.
