and how do i ditch, replace with windows 7 i assume? Edit Can i copy windows 7 from another laptop we have?

Re: geek challage home tv and pc
 

You'll need to install Windows 7 from a Windows 7 CD. Legally you need to purchase a separate copy of Windows for each PC you install it on.

Choice is yours really, i just avoid vista like the plague. I use windows 7 with all unnecessary services switched off.

Linux is an option.

If you wanna be legit, you will have to buy windows 7.

Could you PM me the unnecessary services mate and how to switch them off

Ok cheers guys, found win 7 for 65 quid ish, as opposed to about 100 from Microsoft, any cheaper anywhere?

Find a copy on the net that's registered. If you like it buy a genuine key then if u don't you haven't wasted your cash ;)

Re: geek challage home tv and pc
 

My suggestion was based on you not paying for it.

If you are wanting windows 7 just to correct your streaming issues, i wouldn't bother, you can get it to work on vista. But id start from a fresh install.

However windows 7 is a breathe of fresh air after using vista for a while.

Putting the work one on a diet before its networked.

7 is damm sight better than vista. The first release of 7 was shocking (when on a vista machine) but its improved massively
