Quick question - I am eligible for a free upgrade to 7 with the ‘puter I just purchased. Do I have to uninstall all my applications first (Office Suite, Firewall, etc...)? I don’t want to bugger my warranties and licenses, but also don’t want to do more than I have to. I know enough to backup all my data/pix/music. I’ve never upgraded from one O/S to another before.
If your PC has Vista it will do a straight upgrade and you should not have to reload anything. Mine went seamlessly.
You should always back up important files to you just to be safe.
