Upgrade to Windows 7Although Windows 7 Upgrade will be smooth, problem may arise if you are upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 directly because the hardware of your computer or laptop may not support Windows 7. So you need to upgrade your PC before you install Windows 7 on it.

In some cases, upgrading will be simply a plug-and-play type of process. The hassle free process only involves loading the Operating System DVD, providing in a code and waiting for approximately 45 minutes to upgrade. Although, there is no need to take a back up of your data but still you must not take chances. Hence, do have a copy of your files before starting the upgrade.

When you run Windows 7, all your applications, programs, settings, and files will be available as it is. The process is called in-place upgrade. The problem here is that in-place upgrade applies only to those PCs that are running Vista with at least 20GB of free space in disk.

But, the ride is not smooth if you have Windows XP in your PC. You will not be able to enjoy in-place upgrade option. For upgrading XP-to-Windows 7, you will have to do a “clean installation”. It makes taking a backup of your data compulsory. And after the installation, you need to restore all your data and reinstall all the applications that you were previously using.

On the whole there are few issues that make the road to upgrade tough for the users. Because of incompatible applications and drivers, upgrade for Windows XP to Windows 7 necessitates clean installation. Furthermore, most of the old computers lack the power to run Windows 7 to its full capacity. All of this makes XP users think twice before trying to install Windows 7.

Microsoft team is working hard on upgrade issues faced by users so that there is marked improvement before the official release of Windows 7.
