Windows 7 - Updating GuidelinesHow to increase your success rate at upgrading to Windows 7:1.Windows 7 will not upgrade any other product other than a version of Windows 7 or Vista. To upgrade Vista it must be the same 32 bit or 64bit version. Windows 7 will not cleanly upgrade 32bit version to 64bit version - you are better off to install from scratch. Prior versions of Windows must be installed from scratch don't try to over install on top of them as you will not be happy! 2. Run the Microsoft compatibility checker to find out potential problem areas and work-arounds. 3. Run a full system scan with a reputable Virus Checker and remove any viruses or traces of viruses. Make sure you have the latest definitions. Run the latest Malware Checker - yes it does a better job then all the combo checkers out there. It would be prudent to run an Internet based virus checker as well. 4. Run a Registry cleaner and Registry backup program. 5. Defrag your drive. Use the built in Defrag utility or a third party Defrag utility. 6. Make a full system backup of your Hard Drive to an External Hard Drive ,CD or DVD media. Make sure you confirm the disks image validity. 7. Do all Windows updates for your current Vista system prior to running the Windows 7 Update. 8. Turn off your antivirus software and any third party firewalls. Turn off any other applications that you can that are running in background in your system tray and don’t have any other programs running. Your actually better off uninstalling your Antivirus and firewall prior to upgrading. Don't forget to do what was recommended in the MS compatibility checker 9. Do not be impatient and turn off your computer during the update – this is a sure road to disaster.
