I have a CD at home waiting for me. The dreaded Windows 7 upgrade. Has anyone experienced difficulties and issues with upgrading Vista to 7? Is it worth it for me to do it now or should I wait?
If I have problems, is it possible for me to go back to Vista?
As long as you've bought computer equipment from mainstream companies you won;t have any problems with drivers.
You'll be able to re-install Vista as long as you have the install discs to do it.

I believe they had some difficulties putting it in over Vista though, and had to do a clean install.
I still got XP, probably have it untill they don't give updates for it anymore.
OOPS...I don't know if it was upgrade version!
Originally posted by darvlayI was in a similar position with the Vistard upgrade. I bought a new computer right before Vista came out, and was promised an "upgrade" disk as soon as Vista became available. When I got the disk, I installed it right away. The computer hasn't been the same since.

I'm not a programmer or computer expert, but I've since been told that factory installed operating systems are generally more "stable" than these upgrades.
Honestly, you sound relatively happy with Vista. Hang onto the upgrade disk, but IMO, if it isn't broken, don't fix it.

I use this computer essentially as an instrument. I don't use it to surf, download or whatever. I'm wondering if I should even bother...
Originally posted by rbmorrisVista has been relatively stable on my computer, I think, because I keep it to a bare minimum. There's pretty much nothing running on it other than music software and iTunes.

if you use the machine primarily for music, the software you're using won't change with the install. so I don't see the use of paying money for the win 7 for it. but if you have a spare lying around, I don't think I've heard of a single bad experience yet. not that I had been looking...
