very easyReview date: 2010-09-05 Rating: 10 out of 10I upgraded my Toshiba laptop. First I ran the compatability program downloaded from MS then went to Toshiba website and got the recommended upgrade drivers and programs. I then backed up all my data and removed it too. I left all my programs on. Then I followed the instructions after loading the setup dvd and all was done OK. I only had to re 'pin' icons to the Start Bar or Task bar but that was all apart from the usual numerous updates.

Goodbye VistaReview date: 2010-09-04 Rating: 8 out of 10What a wonderful change to Vista and, so far, Windows 7 looks as good as XP. When I get to know it more it might even be better. If so I suspect I will change this PC to 7 as well.
Delivery was as prompt as ever. Many thanks7Review date: 2010-08-25 Rating: 6 out of 10I intend to install this but people have told me to keep with my XP?MS Windows 7Review date: 2010-08-20 Rating: 10 out of 10MS Windows 7 is a significant improvement on both XP and Vista - much better presentation and easier to use etc. The one 'minor' issue I had was that it took quite a long time to install (like 5 hours!) - as I had to install the latest SP for the o/s I was using. Also I couldn't upgrade to 64 bit as you have to do a complete re-install if you aren't using 64 bit in Vista. You then have to re-install all of your software packages. As I couldn't find all of my software discs/licences I had to stick with 32 bit as I couldn't face turning the house upside down to find them... so aren't yet able to fully benefit from the 64 bit architecture.
This is more of a 'for information' comment. It doesn't detract from Win 7 I'd still thoroughly recomment it, its just forewarned is forearmed and they don't tell you this when you buy the upgrade.
Since installing it has been great - system load/shutdown times are very quick. Thoroughly recomment - at last MS is shipping products that I feel able to endorse!Way more stable than VistaReview date: 2010-08-17 Rating: 8 out of 10My wife got her Vaio laptop with Vista a year ago but recent crashes started driving us nuts. I already heard quite good stuff about Win7 so thought why not go that way: ordered from Amazon, it arrived in a couple days, installation went really smooth and all the previous problems were gone. There was a tiny issue with the Intel 5100 AGN driver but managed to sort it out with the latest one from the vendor-site.
