Steam working with windows XP or Windows 7 64 bit

[UN_LUCKYhighlander]

Has anyone ran into problems running the windows XP home or Windows 7 (64) bit platform? I would like to make the jump so my board can run at it's full potential. Any words of advice or problems out there brothers?

Thanks,

I have Windows 7 64-bit and I have 0 issues. The only issues I will run into are unsupported games, which doesn't happen much.

Windows 7 is the way to go, especially if you are upgrading from XP. I don't know how that upgrade progress works, I would recommend a clean install.

The only issue i have had with windows 7 (64 bit) are a few games that dont run with the User Account Control on, but most should work (Just avoid Rainbow Six: Vegas 1 )

No issues on my computer...and I disabled UAC after I finished installing win 7

Well, thanks so far. I have heard the opposite from others. Might have just been non-techie chat also. UAC, since I know absolutely nada bout 7, can we expand futher?

Thx again.

It is a built in security feature that prompts you to run/install anything that requires administrator. I have mine on, and I have had no trouble whatsoever.
