How to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7

Windows 7 is the operating system you'll get if you're still using Windows XP. But how do you do to upgrade from XP to Windows 7 ? There you will learn in this easy guide!
For those of you running Windows Vista, you can buy upgrades from Vista to Windows 7 at a lower price than what Windows 7 will cost the full version.Unfortunately, there are no upgrades fromXP to the new Windows 7 .
I've talked to Microsoft about this, and they explained that the reason is that the systems differ so widely that there had been major problems. It had simply been a lot of technical problems that make an upgrade tool that makes the XP to Windows 7.
This does not mean that it is particularly difficult to upgrade your computer from Windows XP to the new Windows 7. However, this means you have to do a clean install. That means your programs, settings and all that will disappear from the operating system.

Do a single backup

What will not disappear, your files. This installer will save in a folder called windows old. This assumes of course that you do not format the hard disk during the installation process. Should you do everything on your hard disk will disappear before the installation of Windows 7 starts.
Whatever you do, do take a big backup of all your important files before you begin installation. A good tip is to use the Microsoft software Windows Easy Transfer (Windows Easy Transfer Wizard ). It is a free application that is used to move files from a Windows installation to another.
Basically it's about making a backup of your important files , and then will help you to restore these files when you are finished with your installation of Windows 7. In Vista, the Windows Easy Transfer, but if you are running XP you need to download software from Microsoft's website. You can backup to CD / DVDs, USB flash drive or external hard drive.

Starta installations

Add in the installation disc for Windows 7 and restart the computer, so it boots from the disc. Then the installer will automatically set off again. I have over the years drove all the different versions of the installer for Windows, and I can certainly say that Windows 7 is the best so far.
It is very easy to install Windows 7 and also it does not take long at all. You need to answer some simple questions during the process, such as typing in your username and the like. This need hardly be explained - as simple as that. When installation is complete, restart your computer and you enter the operating system.
On the computers I have installed Windows 7, I have only encountered problems once and that was it not found any drivers for the very old sound card that was sitting in one of the computers. This was solved simply by visiting the computer manufacturer's support site, where I located and downloaded the drivers for Windows XP - it was the latest version, as it has said was an old sound card. These drivers worked without any problems.

Restore your backup

Once you are inside the Windows 7, you can restore your backup of your important files. Have you used Windows Easy Transfer , start by opening the Start menu and in the search field type "file transfer". The tool will show up in search results.

Just like when you used the program the first time, simply click through the wizard to restore your data.

Welcome to Windows 7!

Now everything will be clear and you have Windows 7 instead of the old utgågna XP! Of course it will feel strange at first, but I can guarantee that you will enjoy after trying it for a while. Windows 7 is actually really good , especially when compared to Vista - which I really did not like.
The operating system is fast and economical and rolls on as good as xp. In all cases, it has done that for me, and when I installed it on really old and slow computers.
