  If you’re interested in upgrading your existing PC to Windows 7, you can use the free download from Microsoft, the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor," to scan your PC and help you understand whether everything will work, whether a clean install will be required,  or if an in-place upgrade will work for you, saving time and the headache of backing up and reinstalling all your programs and data.

 

The "official" download is available at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=1b544e90-7659-4bd9-9e51-2497c146af15

I invite you to take a look at what ZD net has to say as well, and if our download above isn’t working it’s mirrored below:

  Here’s a great article on how you can speed up a Vista PC you’ve just installed Windows 7 on!  Oh, and unless you’re more of a guru than me I’d reccomend you skip the section about registry editing: tiny gains, huge risks!
