It is tempting to take your Windows XP or
Vista computer, and just upgrade it to Windows 7. No questions asked, just to do it. Windows 7 is the best operating system yet, according to our Windows tech team, and so why not upgrade?
Before blindly upgrading your computer to Windows 7, check your computer manufacturer’s website to ensure all of the drivers are available for Windows 7. You might be finished with your
Windows 7 upgrade, and then realize you don’t have sound or wireless capable. Not a good upgrade, eh?
Also, you’ll want to make sure to get the right version of Windows, either a manufacturer-based one for your computer, or a regular Windows 7 one from the store. Basically, make sure you don’t put in a Dell Windows CD if you have a Sony!
If you would rather have a technician handle it, we offer computer repair across New York City.
Overall, you can upgrade directly from Windows Vista to 7. But, with Windows XP, you’ll need to perform a full installation of Windows 7 so back up your files first. Also, make sure your computer meets the minimum
Windows 7 system requirements.
If you need help with your Windows 7 upgrade, feel free to call an
