Windows 7 inplace install 10 vs ?
Likely a few months before 10 starts shipping with new machines I need a new laptop. I might be able to plead desperation with my wife and continue to use her laptop until Lenovo starts shipping 10. Even that's not such a hot idea since it could be 3 or 4 months instead of 2.
Ordering a new laptop. The problem is doing an in place upgrade after having used the machine for some period of time vs. a 10 clean install. Although the clean install would be preferable that would mean doing so twice within ~6 months or so and I'm not a masochist.
So my alternatives (that I can see) are:
1. Order the machine with Win7 on the primary SSD, do the in place upgrade to 10 whenever and get over 10 not being a clean install.
2. Wait the indeterminate # of months until Lenovo ships 10 and continue borrowing my wife's laptop (maybe?).
3. Since I will order the laptop with an SSD primary drive and a SATA drive in the DVD bay, I might be able to have Lenovo put the OS on the SATA drive and later install 10 on the SSD drive calling it the primary and erasing 7 from the SATA drive.
I may be making a mountain out of a mole hill here and if so you'll say so and that's good too.
