We bought a new PC a few months ago that came with the upgrade to W7 when released. It showed up yesterday. I know there are several here that have used it and others that have some PC expertise.
The PC is a Core 2 Quad Q8200 with 4G DDR3, 640 GB HD (single partition) and integrated graphics (I know, that sucks but it is much better than our old system WITH a graphics card ). The system is running 64 bit Vista Home Premium and will be upgrading to W7 Home Premium.
The questions is, Is there anything in particular that I need to be aware of and do before hand or should I just plug in the 2 DVDs in the order that the 6 sentences of instructions say to do? |

I've been trying to upgrade my laptop to winders 7 for about 3 weeks now and I work for the bastards....
Well, I did go on vacation to elk hunt for a week of that and they closed my help desk request while I was gone. Drivers are what'll kill ya. Find what you need for what you got *before* pushing the go button. If there is no W7 driver for what you have, call or do some research on what is compatable. |

Their little upgrade advisor has told me no issues. Our printer is the oldest thing and it is only a couple years old. Shows drivers available. |
