 Windows 7 UpgradeSep 06, 2010
I installed the Windows 7 Upgrade a few days ago on both my desktop and laptop and have been pulling my hair out ever since. Screen lock-ups, hours of watching the little spinning circle, failure to come out of the sleep mode, incompatablity with certain game programs, the list goes on. I would definately NOT recommend this software to anyone (maybe the IRS).

 Vista to Win 7Sep 06, 2010
This was one of the easiest upgrades I've done with windows products. It was a quick setup that was finished within an hour. I didn't have any driver issues and it kept a copy of my vista files on the C:/ drive so i could go back and keep whatever i wanted and delete the rest.
Windows 7 itself is so much better than vista both in speed and ease of use. I turn off the UAC because i get annoyed by it popping up, but it's good for the novice computer users who don't know what they are doing. It will prompt them when they are isntalling something that will affect their computer. The window snap functions are great for multitasking. You can snap two open windows to the left and right sides so you can look at one while working at the other with ease. Alt tabbing brings up a list of open windows for you to sift through and Win+tab brings up a revolving visual list that you can scroll through and click on what you'd like to access.
Gaming on this system works well, and seems to have better performance over vista. Backwards compatibility is good as well. I can't think of any issues i've had. Battery life on the laptop is still good, it seems to not abuse the hardware when doing simple tasks.
All in all very happy with the system and no complaints.
 you do need vistaSep 05, 2010
Windows 7 is great and easy to install as lond as you are upgrading from vista.If up grading from XP ther are many step to do.If your not into dumping a system and doing backup for the program then make sure your running vista before buying this product.After loading this you'll wonder why they ever made vista in the first place.Windows 7 works like xp and vista mashed together.fast and much easier to operate.

Works for me!Sep 05, 2010
After I did a thorough job of taking care of all incompatible software identified by "Windows 7 Advisor", the installation went smoothly on my Acer (Vista) laptop. The process takes forever with many re-boots but otherwise no problems.

MORE PLUSES THEN MINUSESSep 04, 2010
I had purchased a new HP computer that had Winbdows 7 and although the pc had issues and was returned, I did like Windows 7 while I had it. I had issues with several new pcs so I thought I would purchase the Windows 7 upgrade for my old pc. So far I am happy and feel it has more pluses then minuses. There are several reviews written by more tech savy reviewers so I will concentrate on my view of the good and bad points:
GOOD POINTS
1. Has made my computer run much faster and cut my boot time in half.
2. I love the two windows feature where I can open two programs and have them run side by side. I had a problem getting this to work at first but once mastered, a favorite.
3. When you have several items open under the same program, the tool bar at the bottom allows a preview of them so you can access the one you want with one click instead of opening the program and going through them until you get the one you want. Very cool.
4. Home Group allows you to easily share photos, music, etc. between your home computers.
5. Windows 7 Media Center allows for easy tv viewing and recording but your pc must have a tv tuner to access this feature.
BAD POINTS
1. Does not play well with older programs. Not everything is Windows 7 compatible.
2. My Mp3 player (Creative) needed a new driver installed to work on Windows 7 - this is a work in progress as issues keep popping up which prevent me from connecting my MP3 player and using it the way it was meant like I did on Windows XP.
3. The automatic updates are not always a good thing. After the last update, my screen size shrunk and I had to reset my monitor.
Deciding which version to purchse might take a moment. The Professional version provides for an easier connection to company networks, a back-up to network option, and more importantly, the ability to run certain programs in a Windows XP mode - the $157 price difference was the deciding factor for me; although in hindsight, the Windows XP mode might have been worth it... Please note that if you purchase Windows 7 software, you receive customer support for the first year but if you purchase a new computer with Windows 7 pre-loaded, there is no support without a fee of $59.99.
I do not regret upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7, although the new configuration involved a learning curve. I have been using it for a few weeks and I am still getting used to it but happy overall. I find myself more comfortable using a computer with Windows XP but Windows 7 is the future and it looks promising.
