I’ve read conflicting information on different websites. And Microsoft’s website is not any clearer.

If I buy a Window 7 Home Premium Upgrade and perform a clean install, will this work coming from Windows XP Pro?

I’ve heard things like. Previous Pro versions can only be upgraded to Windows Pro, likewise, Home -> Home Premium and Ultimate -> Ultimate. Very confusing stuff.
So with upgrade disc. I can perform a clean install. From any version of XP to any version of Windows 7?

I just asked a question comparing XP with Vista and the feedback I got wasn’t that bad for Vista. But now, I also have the option of installing windows 7 on my laptop. It has 1GB of RAM, and a 160GB hard drive. I want to make sure that it is ok to install W7 on my system. Will it slow it down? Should I just install Vista Home Premium? Or should I just stick with my current WinXP Home? The programs that I normally use are lightweight. I just need it for internet, and a few more small open source programs. Please give detailed answers!

i have windows 7 ultimate and i heard about windows xp mode and was wondering why it wasnt on my computer.

Does the windows 7 Home Premium version have XP mode? I’m planning to preorder it but don’t really want to pay an extra $50 just for xp mode in the Professional version.

Okay…im building a new computer.

Should I spend $90 on an OEM windows XP cd….or should I use Windows 7 RC for now and then buy Windows 7 when it comes out ?

I currently have Windows XP and I want to find a way to restart my computer system and change my Windows XP to Windows 7. I have a Windows 7 disc, but I don’t know how to convert my computer system to it.

if there was a task that was scritly based on OS power and if i took windows vista 1 minute to do that task then how long would it take windows xp and how long would it take windows 7.
thanks 10 points for best answer.

Hi, Currently I am running Windows XP 64bit on my first hdd, I would like to install Windows 7 on my second hard drive, does anyone know how to do this so i can keep Windows XP on my first HDD without loosing all the data for XP and have a dual boot between Windows XP 64bit and Windows 7.

P.S I know that windows 7 is only the release candidate!

I’m confused as of what version I could download. My only options that I can find are for downloading Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Vista.

I have a pc, and recently using Windows 7 Ultimate, beta version?
I need a drive/software compatible to use with CanonScan Lide 70 and my pc, to scan work.

Or can I only upgrade to Windows 7 Home?
