subject: Upgrade Your Pc With Windows 7 Premium Now! [print this page] If you use your personal computer at a close frequency and have the Vista Home Premium operating system, then there is a chance that you can upgrade the same to a Windows 7 Premium. Since there is not much option available for upgrading the Vista Basic or Premium to, this Win 7 upgrade seems to be the most viable solution. However, there are certain things that needs to consideration before you finalize your decision on upgrading. One of such considerable points being to check on the system capacity before you can get a complete new operating system. Because, if your computer does not have the capacity enough for running Win 7, there are high possibilities of its performance to drastically degrade.
However, if you have the necessary hardware support available on your personal computer and you are quite focused on upgrading to Windows 7 Premium, then there are both good as well as some bad news to it. The users with Win XP in their machine will have the option to upgrade to Windows 7 at a much cheaper rate despite the huge gap of versions in between. The bad news for the XP users is however that there is no direct source of upgrade. Hence, for upgrading to Windows 7, one has to do a complete fresh installation and manually transport every file as well as all the apps to Windows 7. Hence, you might consider keeping a backup of XP or getting a dual boot done on your machine with both XP and Win 7 present. In case of Vista however, you have the option of directly downloading the upgrade to Windows 7 with no problems at all, and your apps get automatically migrated to Win 7 as well.
The Vista users as well get a cheaper option of upgrade to Windows 7 Premium compared to the XP users. Now, there are some negative aspects to the Win 7 upgrade from Vista however. But, this may probably not be affecting the majority of the users. The upgrade paths from Vista to Win 7 have actually been limited to certain upgrade paths. Now, in case if none of these three upgrade paths are not followed by the end user, they will have to go with a complete fresh installation.
