I have two laptops and one PC which are all running Windows Vista at the moment. I see you can buy a Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade – 3 User Family Pack for £129.99 but I am not sure if this will be fine for my three computers or if I need to buy three Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium full versions. Any advice would be great.

I am about to purchase my first laptop, a Gateway NV5214u. Its my first PC aside from an old, almost unusable desktop. Ive grown up a Mac user and I am going into my sophomore year of high school. I really dont know much about these operating systems. I get a free upgrade to Windows 7 but to me (someone who is not too PC savvy) what are the major and/or noticeable differences between Windows Vista and Windows 7?

I was wanting to buy a Windows OS to put on my new MacBook using BootCamp since I miss all of my Windows stuff, so if I buy Windows Vista (not the upgrade version) will I be able to claim a copy of Windows 7 once it comes out?

I have a rather new laptop, and I was wondering if it would be easy to upgrade to windows 7 from windows vista?

Also, would windows 7 run smoothly on my laptop?
I have a 2.0 ghz intel core 2 duo processor and 4gb ram.

Would 7 work ok with my computer?
Would it be hard to install windows 7 (I have never installed an operating system before)?

Thanks
oh, and if I upgrade, will i lose all of my files?

Which one would be faster?

Snow Leopard:
2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB RAM

Windows Vista
2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB RAM

Windows 7
2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB RAM

I want to install Windows 7 on my laptop. I have Windows Vista right now. When I am reading the instructions it says that all of the hard drive will be erased and that I will need to reinstall programs. Does that mean all the programs I have installed myself will be erased or does that mean my computer will have nothing on it after I install Windows 7?

Is it possible to upgrade from Windows Vista Home Basic to Windows 7 Home Premium?

Please provide a link to any website that can confirm this if its possible.

Cheers
The question is regarding Windows 7 when it becomes available in retail stores, not the current beta. Thanks.

My current computer is running vista and I bought myself the windows 7 upgrade disk (campus store already has ‘em in). What I want to know is what disk I should use to reformat my computer in the future; my old windows vista disk or the windows 7 upgrade disk I bought. Oh and by the way the guy at the desk said that the disk wouldn’t work until that magical day on October 22 when its officially released; any ideas what would stop me (unreleased drivers, the software is coded such, etc.)?

Now that I’ve installed Windows 7 on my C drive, Windows Vista is left on my D drive, and everytime I boot up it asks me to choose between which OS system to launch. How can I set it to default launch Windows 7?

I took a quick look at windows 7 the other day and didn’t noticed much difference in appearance. What’s different and which one is better?
