Win 7 -> Win 8

[Shadow.97]

Hey, I'm currently using Windows 7 together with DAZ loader, and i want to ->Buy<- Windows 8 as i got all confused by the activation methods. Is there any risks (busting)? I am going to wipe my harddrive (Currently 2 partions 500GB each) and rearrange them to 800GB and 200GB One for Windows 8 and one for Linux. Is it as user-friendly as windows 7/xp to install and arrange the harddrives?
The biggest reasons for wanted to upgrade is Windows failing to boot (Needs repair every time i turn it off shutdown -h <3)
Is there anyway to backup and compress both C: and D: to my external drive as i have really nice files i don't want to loose.

Happy 2013

I can't really help you with the Windows 8 department as I have not installed it yet. One question though, when you shut down your computer, do you press shut down and let the system shut down or do you hold the power button?

Oh wait, the one you download is able to clean install, right?

Shadow: if you're referring to Windows 8, as I see it your best bet is a clean install. From what I've been reading, all "upgrades" offer that option too. In fact, so far I have yet to see one that doesn't.

There are activator everywhere.

Where is everywhere, piratebay is down

They're down? That's news to me. I haven't had trouble logging on there.

Also, there are trillions of fine torrent sites out there. htt3.com is my second favorite, and you don't even need an account to leech all you want. There's also fulldls.com and so many more. Running out of torrent sites is one thing we pirates will never have to worry about.

Now that you mention torrent sites, I have a question regarding your use of that VPN site. It makes sense that their software proxies your browser to the torrent site because it might be blocked. However, once you obtain the torrent, that's another thing altogether. The file comes from everybody and stopping it is next to impossible. There is no need to go through their proxy and expierience slowdowns. Right???

How i understand it is the company that wants to charge you downloads the torrent and watch the seeders or leechers IP's and sniff it then save it in a database and sniff it then send you a letter about court, i honestly dont know im rather just on the more safe side

Have you checked this out or is this mere speculation? Besides, keep in mind torrents come from everywhere and keeping track of them isn't easy. Also, there are tons of legal torrents out there, so how do they know you downloaded pirated stuff? What if you told them it was just pr0n?

What my previous ISP did while I was still in Miami was impose a cap. If you leeched 250 GB or more per month, they'd charge you for an extra 150 GB and so on. My current ISP has no such restrictions.
