Hello ckmerc,
Welcome!
Your first question about recommendations before upgrade, you did a very good thing, you joined the Windows 7 Forum! ;-)
I always like a clean install, in setup choose for customized install, and select advanced drive options, remove all partitions, and select one disk with unallocated space to install Windows 7. NOTE, you will lose all data!
Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version
Clean Install Windows 7
Only one thing to add to your preparation, disconnect devices (usb) as possible before the install, and connect them gradually again when the installation of Windows 7 is finished, and your system runs fine.
That way, if a certain device is not supported or giving an error or even a blue screen, you know which device it is.
Please let us know how your installation went.
Have a nice day!

Can any Firefox user confirm or deny.... DOES EZ TRANSFER COPY YOUR FIREFOX BOOKMARKS OVER FROM OLD TO NEW SYSTEM?
No several forum members complained about that, but go to file import, export. Export it to a flash drive and then import back when you are done. I have done and it works.
Whenever I add a favorite to IE, if I can't remember when I last backed up my Favorites, then I export them in a few seconds to Documents. That way they are always backed up when my Documents are.
Like I said EZ transfer does get all your IE favs and settings, but yes a good idea to have an extra backup!
