Thread: Perfect Windows XP / Vista to Windows 7 change

The upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 is right and therefore not easily possible. But do not worry: we will show you how to step by step from Windows XP (and Windows Vista) go perfectly on Windows 7.


Windows Vista users have it easy: Just putWindows 7 DVD and already is a direct upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 But it's not quite that simple of course. After all, such a direct upgrade cost a lot of time. A lot of time even: Up to 20 hours or more.
There is a lot easier and faster to reinstall.Depending on the hardware on a computer, the install takes 20-45 minutes.
Windows XP users who want to switch to Windows 7 must generally accept a new installation.





The reason: Windows 7 and Windows XP are based on fundamentally different Windows systems, so an upgrade is impossible. This also applies if one from a 32-bit (Windows XP, Vista) would like to switch to a 64-bit Windows 7 - or vice versa. Again, a new installation is due.


Making the switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 works perfectly, we provide you with a step-by-step guide. Reading this guide makes sense if you want to reinstall Windows Vista by migrating to Windows 7.


There is also a "different" way to get the installation of Windows 7 to save for a switch from Windows XP, you could first upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista and then perform an immediate upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Compared to reinstall this detour is enormously time consuming and leaves on the computer remains of two Windows operating systems (XP and Vista). In addition, Windows Vista would have before the upgrade to Windows Vista SP1/SP2 be updated and activated, which makes for extra work. Finally, the least likely to XP users a Vista installation DVD have lying around.
