I have a question regarding xp, vista and win 7 so it seems fitting I add it to this thread (correct me if I’m wrong).
I currently run xp sp3 professional.
I have just ordered a new WD drive that has AF. I intend to copy over my current xp boot drive and files onto the new drive.
From that point, I am going to upgrade to Win 7 using the XP-Vista-Win 7 method.
Should I bother aligning the drive for the brief time it has XP on it?
Do you forsee any problems with this plan?
Thanks in advance.
Upgrading from OS-to-OS like that can get pretty messy on it’s own. I would highly recommend installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 instead of going through multiple upgrades like that. Also, a fresh install of an OS will typically have better performance.
