Guys anyone has a spare key for Left4Dead2? My kid love those games! thanks in advance :D

Stability increases, lol seriously? last time an OS was unstable was like 15 years ago and was called windowsME.

AOMEI Backupper works great on Windows 8.x

Use a live distro to backup the stuff to an external disk, then boot off the windows install disk and run diskpart/clean from a command prompt, then proceed to install.

Download clonezilla or aomei backupper or whatever freeware tool you prefer, even the freeware version Acronis provided by WD should work, but remember to clone using the bootable rescue disk never clone from within Windows or you'll end with a drive letter mess...

Use a virtual machine to create the base WIM, virtualbox works great for that.

I havnt partition a disk since Win98

Seriously guys, bumping a 2 year old thread?

Go with Win8, and let them get used to the new interface.

Latest bios on motherboard?

Is the processor single or dual core? I think flash versions are optimized for 2 core processors.

Exactly what i use and recommend :D

You can use ABR (Activation Backup and Restore) to manually backup royal key and manufacturer certificate, that way you can clean install windows 7 and restore the key/cert any time you want, just install windows and skip entering a serial number.

You didnt try hard enough.

May i suggest this awesome tool: Advanced Tokens Manager to backup your activation files, if you ever need to reinstall, do it offline and restore the files and windows is activated in no time.
