Q: Intalling Windows Seven 64bits over Windows Seven 32bits

Possible Duplicate: Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit upgrade? I'm upgrading a computer. Among other things it now has 8GB of memory instead of 2. Currently it runs Windows Seven 32bits, but to support that much memory I need to install the 64bits version. So here comes the que...

I say we reopen this question because the linked duplicate suggest users should reformat their harddrive to install a clean copy of Windows.

This however is not true. A custom install as suggested by Microsoft allows you to keep all your old data.

Of course, Microsoft still suggests you should backup your data, but you can perform a custom install and still keep your old data.

The old files are merely orphans in this case. Programs still have to be reinstalled.

Old user settings exist in orphaned files and have no association with your new install.

@Sathya Thanks, you are a champ.

@studiohack Psh, I was born with safety.

Sathya

@surfasb well, I should've read the question more carefully, took "install over" to mean as upgrade

surfasb

@Sathya I'm actually surprised how unknown the custom install option is among even power users.

Sathya

yeah, custom install is generally what I do always

Heh, if we all were charged a dime for skimming over questions. . .

Q: Is Programming bad for eyesite?

I've only recently gotten into programming and have spent the past few days doing nothing but writing, and I think it may be having an effect on my eyes. Do any of the more experienced programmers have anything to say on the effects of staring at text on a screen for hours on end? Do most of yo...

If only after a few days your eye sight has been going bad, you got mad eye strain problems.

Better bump that font up.

Q: Prolonging the time between death and loading of the latest save game

Is there a way to prolong the time between dying and the automatic loading of the last saved game? I'm currently jumping off the Throat of the World to see the rag doll physics and sometimes the game loads while the rag doll is still moving or even falling.

Hours of fun, right there!

bah, stupid chat timing out on me

Gabriele Cirulli

hello

I'm new here, I'm looking for some quick help

is anybody there?

I guess I'll leave my question here anyway

I'm new to linux and I'm trying to setup a small testing server inside of a VM running Ubuntu Server

I've found the /var/www folder and it should be the one where my apache documents are stored

in fact if I access my VM's IP I see the index.html page that's stored there

the problem is that I can't write to that folder

ls -l says:

d-w-r-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-12-28 16:08 ./
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 2011-12-28 17:02 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 177 2011-12-28 16:08 index.html

and my username is "gab"

what's the best thing to do now to allow me to edit and create files here? Should I create a new group or set myself as the owner of the folder?

Thanks in advance.
