Default Win 7 on 8gb Mini 9? - 07-18-2009, 12:43 AM

Will Windows fit on my Mini 9 8gb. I have a Runcore 32 gb on order to replace defective 32gb I got last week. Interested to know if it can be done without nlite.
Thanks in advance

Well, from what I've heard, you would have about 1 gigabyte free if you installed it on your SSD. I'm not sure if that's with or without nlite, but either way it's not pretty.

You'll want to use vlite to shrink it down. Good instructions are just a google search away.

This is the guide I used. It's VERY detailed and VERY good.
