Bonjour Dominique, how are things in SF? I sincerely doubt you can get a free update from Lenovo for your machine. Better to just spring for the small amount asked for 7 recovery CDs at http://www.thinkpadrecoverycds.com/windows7.html
I'll let you know how the Windows 7 DVD works on a new install rather than as an upgrade. I borrowed the set my buddy bought and I'm going to try them on a clean install in my X61 tablet on a spare 320GB HD I've got.

I would like to replace it with the 64-bit flavor, since I put 8 GB of RAM in that machine. Should I use the above link to buy 64-bit Win7 Pro, or am I entitled to a free upgrade (since it's the same edition)?
