<div class="moz-cite-prefix">From your answer I am realizing that
the question I should be asking is how do I end up with a Win 7
ISO.<br>

I know WIN hides a restore version on a hidden partition, but I
have never figured how to get a usable copy from the HDD to use
for loading, or reloading.<br>

This decision is up to what you would like to do. Dual
booting Windows and CentOS will not affect your ability to
remote into your computer while offsite. The risk of
security is no different if you just at CentOS running
honestly. Any computer can be riddled with all sorts of
malicious software.<br>
<br>
</div>
The thing you want to concentrate on is the hardware of the
computer. Myself, I could dual boot my Wins 7 system but I
have 2 HDDs so I don't mind. I have ISOs of WINs7 also and
virtualize that envirorment to learn the system w/out dual
booting. The other thing to consider is that with dual
boot, you will have to restart you computer each time you
want to go into the other system. Use VBox, VMPlayer, or
HyperV if you wanted will allow you to stay in one system
and create a guest OS.<br>

When you come to the Installfest on the 20th down in
Chandler. A lot of people will be there and you can ask
in-person because everyone will have different options. Some
might even have the ability to show you the difference on
their own computers.<br>
<br>
</div>
Hope thats enough to get you started thinking about what
direction you want to go.<br>

<div>I am looking forward to the delivery of a new PC,
which has Win 7 installed on it.<br>
<br>
I would like to bring it to the Sept 20 installfest for
advice and assistance in setting the machine up with the
latest version Centos 64-bit system.<br>
<br>
I would like to be able to run Win 7 either in a VM or
as dual boot.<br>
<br>
I haven't had a Windows system for quite a number of
years and I know some changes have been made.<br>
<br>
If I boot the system and test (play around with it) will
I be compromising my ultimate goal by having Win tie
into the motherboard, or calling home or some such
system change that will prevent setting up dual boot or
getting a copy of the system for use in a VM
environment?<br>
<br>
My goal for the Win system, in addition to learning what
changes have been made since XP will be to run Minecraft
and the Garmin GPS update program.<br>
<br>
Sorry if this is too long and confused, but at the
moment I am a bit confused.<br>
