My apologies if this topic has been brought up before, I've been scouring the interwebs for days looking for an answer, and most don't quite answer the specific question I have. I have two PC's custom built, both are Win 7 x64 machines. My wifes machine, which changed to the "kids" machine after we got her a laptop, unfortunately died (Mobo gave out). It's an older machine and not worth...

Reinstalling Windows 7 with a Win7SP1 dvd with Win7 key

Hello, I plan on reinstalling Windows 7 Pro 64-bit on my laptop. The key that I'm using came from a generic Windows 7 Pro 64-bit DVD. I do have a DVD lying around that is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with Service Pack 1. So my question is, could I use that DVD with SP1 already on it to install Windows 7, but still use that key from my straight up Windows 7 Pro 64-bit DVD that DIDN'T have SP1? ...

This might be fixable through the OS or it might be peculiar to my notebook (ASUS G74SX). I am seeing my notebook while on the battery just shutting off as its power level reaches a certain threshold. There is no forced entry into a sleep or hibernate mode as a user would want. It's an abnormal shutdown. Moreover, the shutoff is occurring at something like 20% power level. Do I need...

Loaded device drivers - no yellow flags. Ran Windows Update ad nauseam until there were no...

I have a 16 gb USB drive and the Win 7 64-bit ISO is about 3 GB. There as a 13 GB wastage there. What else can I put on the USB drive to maximise the space used?

Do I need to make a partition with that? Is it...
