Hello, I was just about to install Windows 7 via a [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and I was just wondering if it would mess anything up, I remember last time I did this, the screen resolution was really low and I couldn't change it, my drivers were out of whack, but I'm just thinking that the .ISO was corrupt or something.

Help, quick! Thanks, OCDxPro.

Everything should go fine. You will need to update quite a lot of drivers but you need to do that with all ways of installing OS. Give it a go, and if you come across problems, post here again, I'm more than happy to help.

It finally got done installing, and my resolution only goes up to 1600x900, my monitor is a 1920x1080 monitor, the ethernet cable isn't picking up, and I know it works because it did on my old os, and it's Win7 Ult and it doesn't support Aero.

Any suggestions?

Okay... It wouldn't matter if I went from Windows 8 down to Windows 7, would it? That's my biggest concern, I just hope that it didn't screw something up in the process of downgrading.

Edit: OMFG THIS IS AWESOME. THANK YOU GUYS, WINDOWS 7! #OLDDAYZ!
