    I know there are threads about installing the correct drivers etc but I was wondering if there was any way to keep the original programs like the full licence of adobe photoshop etc. Do they install of the vista recovery disks on to the win7 system?

    I know this is bordering on a dodgy topic as it is close to breaking copy protection.

    All I really want to know is if I need to keep my vista partion to access these programs or I can make the full transfer to win7.

    Thanks

    The programs off the recovery disks should install fine to Windows 7, just the drivers won't. Did photoshop come on your FW? Photoshop Elements?
