HI, I migrate between a PC and laptop running XP and the above sony running window7 home. It's got to be said i find Win 7 user interface unfit for purpose.
i wouldn't use it if it was free.I tried the Classic Shell program but it's still awkward
Its garbage
So 1; If possible I dont want to wipe the main HDD
2; If possible I dont want to go down the virtual Box route for performance reasons and there could be issues as its not win7 ultimate plus its got the backup
OS on a hidden HDD partition [thats another rant]
3;Not sure how well XP handles the I7 cpu 8gig ram and all the other devices.
Is it possible install XP and boot from an external HDD as the Sony has an eSATA/usb3 port and regain my sanity and get some work done??
(I really do hate EVERY thing about Windows 7 How why it was ever released
i dont get it)
