Dual Boot question.

Mr.Nick · 29 May 2009 at 21:21

Hi guys,

After I build my new pc, I may consider a little later to Dual Boot with W7 (With XP). Will all the programs and games that I have installed already work with W7 straight away, or will I have to install them again on the partion that W7 would be installed on?

Thanks guys!

They will all need to be reinstalled.

Some will work if you go into the install folder and run the .exe, but none of the registry entries will be there so you'd have to manually create all the shortcuts. Some programs you'll have no choice but to reinstall though as they need the registry entries for things like cd keys etc.
