Hi.
Even if your Vista is not broken, I would encourage you to take the time
and complete the upgrade. You should have sighted assistance around just
in case you run into any problems. Fortunately, I have upgraded and even
reinstalled Windows 7 several times, all without sighted assistance.

Hi all.
Now with Windows XP you have no choice but a clean install. There is
simply no in-place upgrade path from XP to 7. If you think about it,
what is the point if XP is getting to be an old operating system.

Hi All.
Windows 7 is about as responsive as XP. So if you are happy with XP then
stick with it. Yes Windows 7 might be more modern and secure than XP but
as a technician I should appreciate why people would want to stick with
XP. Personally I wouldn't use XP unless it's in a virtual machine.
Hi Yvonne.
I suggest looking at Microsoft's site. I also suggest asking your local
