Hello,
I'm going to buy a W7 very soon, so i can use all my ram (currently using 32bit XP and got 6GB) and i've also heard that W7 utilize i7 better than XP.
I fear, that I'm, going to encounter stability and reliability issues on W7, and would therefore like to dual boot with XP (please tell me, if i'm being too hysterical ).
I would like to hear, if there's any problems regarding dual booting W7 and XP on a partitioned HD, and if it's recommended at all?
Is it fine to use the XP install disc to make the partitions?
I don't like tweaking, so is it best to install W7 or XP first?
Also, i'm going to use my PC for gaming and movies, so i guess the Home Premium is enough for me? I would also like to password protect private folders because i never log out when I'm AFK, but i guess W7 ultimate doesn't support that?
Thanks and regards
