Installing Windows 8 on top of Windows 7 without loosing any Data and not a UPGRADE but straight install. And your Original License don't Expire as well

For all those who don't need a picture edition here is the short version of it..

1. Create in your Personal Windows Folder "usually My Documents" a new Folder named Windows Setup
2. Insert your Windows 8 DVD into the DVD Drive of your computer..
3. When the DVD Auto starts, then Wait until it's finished and close it.
4. Right Clicking on the DVD Drive in MY COMPUTER will bring up a Popup Menu.
5. Select OPEN

7. Right click on the selected Files and then Select COPY
8. Now move to your NEW CREATED FOLDER "Windows Setup" Right click in the Window of this folder and select PASTE.
9. This will take a few Minute because the Windows 8 DVD is about 3 GB in Size..
10. when finished then look for the FOLDER SOURCES in the copied Files

12. Move this file to the DESKTOP for editing.

14. You will see 3 lines in there. Like those here

16. Now change the number of the second and third line to followings

17. [HostBuild] ******* This is For Windows 7
MinClient=7000.0
MinServer=7000.0

For Windows Vista
6000.0

18. Now save the file with the same name.. Usually just HIT SAVE from the menu will do..
19. Copy the file back into SOURCES DIRECTORY
20. Close all your other Applications
