    Can I have two Windows 7 on one machine?

    I have Windows 7 RC and Vista Home Premium on one machine right now.

     Can I upgrade Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro without deleting the partition for Windows 7 RC?

    I just don't wanna delete it until I have the time to install all applications on Windows 7 Pro.

    You should be able to do that.  Just select the proper partition when doing the upgrade.

    Windows 7 RC will expire on June 1, 2010 so I am sure by that time you will install very apps you need in Windows 7 Pro. :-)

    Heey! Thanks! I had both for like two days and nuked RC waaay before June 1! Caz I wanted extra space on my "strage" partition. BTW, doesn't it start giving you a warning or a shutdown every 2 hours starting in February or something? I don't what THAT! Haha!
