I have Vista Home Premium 64 bit but I want to try the Windows 7 RC.

Do I have to delete my Vista stuff?

How do I do this .. I guess that I am am asking .. If I install the Windows 7 Do I have to delete my Vista?

Can someone who has Vista tell me what to do and what to expect .. Thank You.

Since the RC is going to expire in about a year, you should make a partition on your hard drive. This way you can have Windows 7 and Vista side-by-side, keeping your files :huh:

I’d also suggest that you take the time to backup your PC, just in case. Here’s a link to that: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/pc-backup.aspx. That’s also part of the Windows 7 page, so you can access all sorts of Windows 7 goodness from there.

Cheers,
