I'll be getting Windows 7 soon. I don't know what version it is since its being sent to me as a birthday gift but I will assume its either Home Premium or Professional. I would like to do this all in one shot instead of doing all the other installs I want THEN doing the other tricks later. If people can help me prepare so I can do so, it will help me especially since my Windows 7 usage is... quite limited (even though I used Vista and had quite a bit of issues).
So this is what I'd like to do:
I guess I'm hoping number 2 is still possible with number 1. Number 3 is so if I have to fix windows for whatever reason, it should be easier.
Also, any tips would be useful for Windows 7.
Finally, the last part that I'm questioning...
Sorry, I know, its long winded. Thanks to any assistance provided.
Edit: Completed and thanks all!
So this is what I'd like to do:
- Share folders that are user limited on the network (as in you need a user name and password to login) as I tend to go to LAN parties.
- Still allow my upnp to work on the network (for things like Foobar2k using the upnp sharing as opposed to Windows Media Player upnp sharing)
- Install Windows 7 in a way so that my Windows install and swap files is on one partition and program files, documents/user files/folder in another (I have seen this done in XP and still don't know how to do it).
I guess I'm hoping number 2 is still possible with number 1. Number 3 is so if I have to fix windows for whatever reason, it should be easier.
Also, any tips would be useful for Windows 7.
Finally, the last part that I'm questioning...
- Is Microsoft Security Essentials, Antivir, or Kaspersky the recommended choice as a anti-virus software?
- Any useful programs for Windows 7 that I should know about?
- Should I make 2 accounts? One for installing and whatever, the other as limited?
