Windows 7 Upgrade Versus Clean Install - Shift Development

Hi. I have read the many threads about the various methods of installing windows 7 on shift. However all these are about making a clean install of 7. My question issue is what are the pros and cons between UPGRADE from vista to Windows 7 as opposed to making a clean install. I know probably it is not possible to upgrade with 7 RC but I do have a retail 7 Pro that I wish to install. I hope to upgrade so that I can keep all the settings, possibly dont have to re-install the drivers as well as the programmes that I already have.
Any advice on this. Thanking you in advance - Ed

good luck

Windows 7

Everyone,
I have never put on a custom rom on my phone, but i am going to give it a try I have windows 7 RTM on my laptop, do i need to download any other things like .net framework or anything before i use Hard-Spl ????
Thx, i am little bit nervous about flashing the rom 2nite, but these roms are soo cool looking.
Any recommendation on cool looking stable rom with lots of features ?

I was nervous about flashing my first rom too, probably most of us were! But looking around the forum I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497511
There are also videos that show you what flashing a new rom looks like and tells you pretty much everything you need to know.
Personally I'm using Firestorm, its a WinMo 6.5 rom - One of/the most fast and stable roms availible. After a while flashing can become an addiction, wanting more and more. I'm sure others can vouch for that!
Happy flashing!
Thx, i saw those videos, and i am currently downloading them
but do u know if there is anything different as I am using Windows 7?
I looked at firestom, looks really nice, with youtube and the big buttons for dialing. Does it also capture peoples faces from facebook ??

Just connect the phone using USB and let the drivers install.
On 7, don't care about the NET 3.5 installation step, it is already available (with SP1).
You have to install windows mobile device center (new activesync tool from MS)
And that's all, connect your phone, register it in mobile device center, sync it, then launch Hardl SPL, it will work
For Win 7 you will also need 'Windows Mobile Device Centre", for activesync.
It is on Microsoft's website.
thx everyone

Use this guide. Works for both Windows 7, Vista, XP etc. You may need to downgrade your drivers. Link within thread for updating drivers. Any further queries on flashing should be posted in dummies guide thread.

Hello
2 months ago i bought a Lumia 521 for just 24$ in eBay it is great but the last week i got kinda boring and i want to change the device , play with it !! (like get root access , install costum rom etc.)
I started googling for development and installing custom roms in it and every search result shows me WP Internals
-So i installed in my laptop and i want to try now getting root access and installing custom roms and other stuff!
But before i get into the game i want to ask some questions:?:
Q1. I enable root access what after that , how can i get the tweaks that Heathcliff74 is saying in his website!
Q2. Where can i find custom roms for my device! And step by step how to basiclly install them!
---------------
NOTE : I TAKE ALL THE RISKS AND IF YOU TELL ME HOW TO ROOT AND OTHER STUFF YOU DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope there is a good mind that can help me!!
@Heathcliff74

Sorry for my bad english is not my mother tongue!!!

Right now, there are no 'working' custom ROMs for Lumia 52X-devices. There is a project underway on XDA to put Cyanogenmod 13 on this device and they have made excellent progress so far, but the WiFi/2G/3G/Bluetooth/Camera don't yet work. They'll likely work eventually, but no idea how long this will actually take. Other than that, nothing else is available to my knowledge. Recommend waiting for now to install unless you absolutely don't need the device.

Windows RT on Lumia tool

Ok hi guys. So, on a video about installing windows rt on lumia, (7) [TUTORIAL] How To Install WINDOWS RT On Lumia 2019 - YouTube , this guy is using a tool which seems to be the WinRTInstaller made by cdsmatheus, except modded by this guy Fadil Fadz. His version seems to be a bit easier to approach than the one made by Matheus, however download links are removed. Does anybody know where we can still download his tool or perhaps does anybody still have it?
