Win XP and 7 upgrade - path to benching

DaddyTinman · May 30, 2014

I have a Win XP disk and a Win 7 upgrade disk. Neither have been used.

I want to use these two disks without internet connections to bench my i5 and i7 CPUs.

I will burn to a SSD and use this on my GA-Z68XP-UD4 with a i5 2500K. After I bench on this and save my screenshots, etc, to a USB stick, I will reaccomplish the burn and upgrade to the SSD again for the GA-Z97X Gamming 7 with a i7 4770K.

Will I be able to stay off the 'Net to bench? I will get my drivers from my other INternet-connected (and protected) PC.

Yes though some benches require a key to be able to view the result on desktop i.e. 3DMark06.
