edge Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I am thinking of switiching from Windows XP 64 bit to Windows 7 64 bit. Please advise me of any concerns, problems, etc. Since Windows XP does not have the support. I use Sony Vegas for Videos and am looking to upgrade that as well. Should I be concerned? I thank you in advance for your assistance and recommendations.Sincerely,Edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heystew Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I used Windows 7 for my show pc for the first time this year. Also did some sequencing, but not much on Windows 7. I had no issues at all. there were some individual discussions linked here http://lightorama.mywowbb.com/forum72/20214.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John2571 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Windows 7 worked great when I used it with parrels on my Imac and am installing it on all of the computers that I am going to build.(I used win. 7 HP 64bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickByrd Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I have been running Windows 7 64 bit for as long as it has been out. MUCH more stable than Vista! LOVE Windows 7 as far as Windows based software goes. I do a great deal of video editing and and have no problems. I have a 3-4 year old Gateway desk top with a quad core Intel Core2 with 8 GB of ram. Wicked computer for it's age.But I would recomend making the jump to 7. If you are currently on a 32 bit system and switching over to 64 bit... get someone there to help that is computer-smart. I remember there were a few small hicups. Switching over took about 4 hours total... Including reinstalling all my old programs.Check older programs for 64 bit compatability.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taybrynn Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I used windows 7 64 bit with latest LOR S2 version, works great, no issues. If your happy with Vista, its not that much better and your graphic performance might actually drop (mine did). But in terms of using LOR software, either is fine. LOR is not a fat pig and works even on really old machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace_master Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Another happy Windows 7 user, no problems what-so-ever, and stability of Windows 7 is far superior to any Windows OS I've ever used (I've used virtually every Win OS since Windows 3.0).Upgrade!

edge Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Thank you all for the comments. I will be installing Windows 7 on 01/26/11. Anyone have any suggestions with Windows 7 and Sony Vegas? I am thinking of upgrading this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taybrynn Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Vegas also works great for me on Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbzeus Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I built a Windows 7 computer about a year and a half ago. Ran the beta 7 first then "upgraded" to the regular licensed version. Love it, love it, love it. I run a 64 bit system and the only program I had issues was Photoshop CS5. After a couple of patches from Adobe it runs just fine.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
