    When upgrading from XP to Win 7


    Hi,

    I currently have a company laptop with *gulp* windows XP. I have administrator access to install programs, but I would need admin network login rights to add a computer to a domain.

    My question is, if I was to upgrade from win XP to win7, would all the network configurations remain, inc. the domain?

    I wouldn't think so.

    You can't "upgrade" from XP to 7.

    You must do a clean install.

    You'd then have to re-establish your network configuration.
