Win Vista Upgrade Possibility

You will be fine.
Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version[2]=General Tips

I would take the upgrade advisor to double check. If you are approved just follow the easyinstuctions for the install. You have to buy another key, however.

But after that you will love the system, I do.

Sure

I use that flavor of 7 and I have had no problems. If your machine is decent, you should have no problem with any version of 7. I personally like 7 pro. :)

Yes everyone should do a clean (custom with format), but you can use an upgrade DVD. Read the tutorial.

According to this chart, I need to do a custom install, not an in-place upgrade?

If you want to upgrade, you can still try. No harm to try - worst case is it won't work. Clean install may be a alternative if you don't mind reinstalling your programs. Use windows easy transfer to transfer files and settings to 7.

Ematts,

I am here to help and I want to give you my thoughts on what you want to do. Then you weigh the pro and con and do what is best for you.

Bottom line a clean install with format is best. So many posts from those that have problems because they did not do a clean install

What would you like a brand new 2011 car or the 1998 waxed, cleaned, fixed with all new parts and detailed, running like a kitten. The OS is the same thing, its best to get rid of the old and start fresh

Its your choice, anything you decide, I will be very happy to help, just want you to know the facts and 95% of the membership agree. The other 5% are the ones with the problems

Whatever you decide, good luck and I and the other members will be here for you.
