With Windows 7âs release date just little more than three weeks away, you may be thinking more seriously about whether youâre going to upgrade to the new system when it arrives on store shelves. Microsoftâs track record with OS upgrades has been tarnished lately, and the company is determined not to repeat the same mistakes. One area in which the company took a lot of flack was the unavailability of device drivers for Windows Vista. Microsoft has that in the bag this time, or so they say. Upgrades should expect to find a plethora of drivers available on release day, which should make the process of upgrading smoother.
Upgrading From Windows Vista
If youâre upgrading your system from Windows Vista, you should have a smooth ride. Thereâs one caveat: if youâre running Windows Vista Home Basic, thereâs no upgrade path for you. Youâll need to install the full Windows 7 product. If youâre upgrading from Windows Vista Home Premium, the upgrade to Windows Vista should be relatively easy. Your computer is already very likely to be capable of running Windows 7, and unless you have some very old or very dodgy devices, you should be in luck when it comes to drivers.
