Is it easy to upgrade to windows 7 from vista?

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009


I have a rather new laptop, and I was wondering if it would be easy to upgrade to windows 7 from windows vista?

Also, would windows 7 run smoothly on my laptop?
I have a 2.0 ghz intel core 2 duo processor and 4gb ram.

Would 7 work ok with my computer?
Would it be hard to install windows 7 (I have never installed an operating system before)?

Thanks
oh, and if I upgrade, will i lose all of my files?

I have installed the Windows 7 RC, and am currently debating whether to keep going with it or to go back to Vista.

What’s going to sway me is the Windows 7 Ultimate pack. It’s a bit pricey for one user, but if shared over several users it’s worth in my opinion.

I’ve done my best to find this out, to no avail, and was wondering if one of you lovely people knew the answer. How many people can install Windows 7 on a single “Ultimate” Product Key?

Monday, November 16th, 2009


I have two laptops and one PC which are all running Windows Vista at the moment. I see you can buy a Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade – 3 User Family Pack for £129.99 but I am not sure if this will be fine for my three computers or if I need to buy three Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium full versions. Any advice would be great.
