Nightmare with Vista to 7 "easy upgrade".
I recently purchased an upgrade CD. WHAT A NIGHTMARE.
I used the "easy upgrade" option as I know little about computers. Everything went fine until it was done. Some of my issues:
1) The keyboard isn't right - the keys aren't in the right places. It's set to UK but seem to shunt me to the end/middle of lines etc when typing and erase whole lines/sections at random.
2) It's put all my old stuff in a "windows old" folder and doesn't recognise any programs at all. All shortcuts have disappeared, desktop icons etc. The control panel > programs list is empty, the start menu > all programs is limited (accessories, games etc). Even my graphics/sound card and trackpad etc programs aren't there though laptop seems to be running okay.
3) It isn't showing user accounts on the welcome screen, it defaults to my account even though it allows me to switch to others using the "switch user" button.
My laptop was perfect before and a year of getting it just right is wasted. I want to cry. Any help would be so appreciated!
