Nice one Ivan, this really pushes forward the ability to re-install Win7 without having to use Qubes 3.2. for it. @Alex Do you feel the system is as stable as it was on Qubes 3.2. with this fresh re-install on Qubes 4? Of course with the included Qubes 4 required adjustments like network, page-file, and so on. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
