I want to share my experience on the transition to the seven. At work, the machine (licensed XP) is already full of necessary and customized applications, so I really didn’t want to demolish and reinstall everything :) But the W7 upgrade doesn’t allow a normal upgrade, so the following trick was attempted:
- XP upgrade to Vista SP1 (just got such a disk), did not enter the code, the checkbox “activate as I catch the net” also took off for some reason - Vista upgrade to W7, here I have already entered the code, only after installation. ')
The process took about 5 hours, everything works, only faster :) Only the sound driver refused to work normally, the native Realtek was replaced by the Microsoft driver.
I would be glad if someone comes in handy, good luck.
