Hello, my brother has windows vista pc. He wants windows 7 too, is there anyway he can switch from windows vista to windows 7? :O. Like not a hard direction, he wants easy directions. Can you do it without a dvd?
Below is a link to a tutorial that includes all of the relevent information. Note that you/he will need to buy an Upgrade version of Windows 7.

Hi iirollsushii, Welcome to the forums, Tell your brother to do a clean install of win7 ,upgrading can ,and does cause some problems
Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version :)
Without a DVD, the only other method I know of is to use a USB flash drive. I can give you instructions for making a bootable Win 7 flash drive, but you will still need to purchase a legal Windows 7 product key.
The best way to do it , in my opinion , is to purchase a new hard drive, add it to the system, then install Windows 7 on it. When your done you will have both operating systems ( 1 on each hard drive ) and you can choose which one you want to use everytime you boot up.
First of all,is your brother computer able to work with windows 7?
Write here the system specs of your brother computer so we can help you more.
Also,you can run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
