Win7 RTM install

My now-venerable Dell Inspiron E1705, Intel Core Duo T2500 2GHz, Intel 945 Express graphics, 2GB RAM, 200GB Hitachi 5400RPM SATA drive, had Vista on one partition and Win7 RC on another. Before doing the Win7 install, I used Windows Easy Transfer on Vista and separately on Win7 RC to make separate backup/transfer bundles to an external USB disk drive (WD MyBook Home 500GB).

And I also backed-up all my data files and documents as I normally do every week, using SyncToy to my home server.
