Need assistance upgrading XP to Windows7
About to upgrade my old tower system from XP to Windows7. Have read the articles on doing a normal clean install (I am going to be using an upgrade Windows7 disk) but I have some queries.
1) If I install over the XP system do I lose my motherboard drivers?
2) Should I decide to install over XP then I thought I will remove/save all the content, uninstall all programs, do a disk cleanup and defrag so as to get a best install possible. Is this necessary or overkill?
3) Should I just do a normal clean install following instructions from this forum?
Any suggestions most welcome - thanks
btw - have completed Windows7 upgrade advisor and no real problems have shown up.
Not so
