    Default Windows 7 upgraders?

    Who's upgraded to windows 7 yet for their personal computer? I have and so for I like it. I had a couple issues to begin with but I think I've ironed most of them out. Firefox was taking an extreme amount of memory which crashed the computer a couple times and it wouldn't let me do an upgrade so I had to do a clean install.

    I think I'll like 7 better than vista(even though I never really had issues with vista either). Have anybody here taken the plunge and decided to upgrade to the next best thing in OS?

    1. Run setup from a flash drive or a USB hard drive. Compared to slow DVDs, you can easily shave 5-10 minutes off install times. For upgrades, you can simply copy the files to the external media; if you plan to do a clean install, you’ll need to make sure the media is bootable.

    2. Move massive data collections off your system drive before you start. Copy your big digital media collection to an external hard drive and then delete the original files from your user folders before you run the upgrade. You can copy them back after setup is complete.

    Still running XP here, but I'll probably be making the switch to 7 when I get a new PC with more RAM.

    Do have Vista on one machine, but that's been a bit of a train wreck.

    The upgrade version of Windows 7 (as opposed to the higher-price full version) lets one move from any properly licensed version of Windows XP or Windows Vista to Windows 7 on that same computer. Only certain of these upgrades, however, can be done as a simple update--what Microsoft calls an "in-place upgrade." Users moving from Windows XP, switching from 32-bit to 64-bit versions, or moving from a higher-end version of Vista to a lower-end version of Windows 7 can use an upgrade disc but will have to do a more cumbersome upgrade, known as a custom, or "clean," installation.


    The difference between an in-place upgrade and a "clean" installation, in this instance, means backing up one's data, installing Windows 7, restoring the data, and reinstalling all Windows programs. Windows 7 upgrade disks can be used to do this clean installation and will recognize the previously installed version of Windows. So if you don't have any previously installed Windows on the machine, you will want to get yourself a full copy of Windows 7.
