UEFI with BIOS legacy compatibility is setup in the UEFI-BIOS settings.īefore anything else I run a chkdsk /f (just to be sure W7 is in good shape), made a W7 Repair Disk CD, and the last thing before starting the Buster install I made an WindowsImageBackup, just in case, which was saved in the D: 4 TB data drive. A second NTFS formatted 4 TB data HD is installed with all my personal data, including Dropbox folder in auto sync setting. The original primary HD was a WD 500 GB, which I replaced by a 1.5 TB to make sure I have room enough for both OSs. My current system is a 64 bit W7 Pro OS, i3-4170 CPU GHz, 16 GB RAM, and with the latest updates possible as of now (Jan 2020). But I love these kind challenges and, despite not being any tropical cool breeze, I'd rather face it than the dreadful M$ W10 and its descendants. I fear I'll have a very steep learning curve ahead, though. ![]() And, hopefully, I will be able to install my W7 within a VirtualBox on top of Debian sometime later on, to minimize the threats from outside. I sure will be with both W7 and Debian in a dual boot system for the time being during this transition phase. But now, like for so many other windoze users, I can't go beyond W7.Īfter doing some research, I decided to opt for Debian, mainly because it is said to be stable and with lots of options in terms of packages (apps). Although I also worked at Sun Microsystems as Ian Murdock (the founder of Debian Project) did, I worked mostly with windoze systems afterward.
