Upgrade to Windows 7 or not?
You are using Windows XP or Windows Vista and you wonder if you should upgrade it to Windows 7 or not. Well, It depends what operating system you are running.
If you are running Windows XP, do not upgrade, because Windows XP is stable and will last fine as long as your hardware doesn’t crash.
If you have Windows Vista, then it is the time. This operating system is typically slows down when you run it over time. With Windows Vista you will need 4 GB of RAM to be in good shape. And it is one of a few issues why Vista users should upgrade to Windows 7.
You can run Windows 7 with only 1GB of RAM and it is compatible with software/hardware from Windows Vista, XP, 2000, and NT. Although Microsoft claims you can upgrade from Vista directly to Windows 7, which is true, it is recommended to back up your files first and heavily consider performing a fresh install of Windows. When upgrading an operating system, the flaws and issues typically also come along with the upgrade and could cause the same issues. It is easier to upgrade since the software and configurations are supposed to carry over. If you’d like to try to perform the upgrade, we still recommend to back up your files in case you’re not happy with the upgrade due to lingering Windows Vista issues carrying over.
After you install Windows 7, don’t be disappointed when you see the same Windows Vista interface. Windows, for lack of time, decided to keep the same graphical user interface (GUI), or view, of Windows Vista for Windows 7. Don’t worry – the stability and quick navigation under the hood is a huge improvement and will be appreciated.
If you have trouble to upgrade to Windows 7, fell free to call VA Denver Computer Services, and our technician will come and help you.
