Other Notes
You can upgrade computers running Windows Vista to Windows 7. When you upgrade from
Windows Vista to Windows 7, all documents, settings, applications, and user accounts that existed
on the computer running Windows Vista are available when the upgrade is finished. The advantage
to an upgrade is that it allows you to keep the current application configuration. When you perform
a migration, you need to reinstall the user’s applications on the new computer. As mentioned
previously, this can be problematic in organizations that are not careful about keeping track of which
specific set of applications are installed on each user’s computer. Prior to attempting to perform the
upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7, you should run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. The
Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor is an application that you can download from Microsoft’s Web site that
will inform you if Windows 7 supports a computer running the current hardware and software
configuration of Windows Vista. Prior to running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, you should ensure
that all hardware that you want to use with Windows 7, such as printers, scanners, and cameras, are
connected to the computer. The Upgrade Advisor generates a report that informs you of whichapplications and devices are known to have problems with Windows 7. A similar compatibility report
is generated during the upgrade process, but the version created by the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
is more likely to be up to date.
This is such a stupid question
