• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Windows 7 upgrade time: 30min to 20hours

Yeah, but I remember the when I had to clean install XP. Same thing with a clean win 7 install: install all aps, copy data, download and apply patches. Something like 20-50 reboots in there too! Still took 12-16 hours to get everything back "the way it was". The clean install is going to take a while too.
 
The install --
and then adding back all the software.

Couple of new systems back --
spent the weekend adding back most of the software --
and the next day the new disk crashed.

Went faster the second time.
