Answer» I have a new Systemax PC, DELIVERED with Win XP Pro installed, and a disk for Win 7 Pro.
I think I am ready to upgrade. I am considering using "LAPLINK PCMover Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant" to do the upgrade without shifting files to some external memory device.
Good idea? BAD idea? Comments? I don't think it's possible to do a straight upgrade of XP to Windows 7.Although, as kpac mentioned, this can not be done using a normal Microsoft Win 7 upgrade disc, APPARENTLY Laplink has developed software that can, indeed, do this. At least, that's what I see @ http://www.laplink.com/pcmover/pcmoverupgradeassistant.html. I guess you're aware the Laplink software is not free.
Since your COMPUTER is new, have you already accumulated a lot of files that you'd want to transfer over? If not, why not just use the Win 7 disc to do a clean INSTALL?
