Replacement installation

Post by FikriSami »

Greetings everybody. This is my first input here.
It would be really perfect if I could install this OS over an existing MS Windows (e.g. Windows 10), keeping already installed apps intact.
Is this possible?
If it is, without big risk, I would seriously consider switching to ReactOS and say farewell to MS Windows for good.

Thats a quick answer. Check my signature. Answer is NOPE. ^^
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

Thank you.
But I still hope it will be possible.
I think that would quickly burry MS Windows and make Billions happy.

Spread the word and things get along faster. We are quite in need of more skilled low level kernel devs :D

hi if you were trying to upgrade a Windows XP install to ReactOS then you may have more luck but not all software may work
