Big Problems with Windows 7 7100 x64
Lerianis 25th Apr 2009
Namely that an upgrade install from Windows Vista, no matter if you have 80GB's free on your hard drive (like I have) keeps on giving you a 'Not Enough Disk Space' error.

Funnily, Windows 7 7100 x86 doesn't have this problem!

Just giving everyone 'fair warning' about this problem.
