Hi Everyone, I planning to upgrade my desktop PC from Windows XP Professional SP2 to Windows 7 Home Premium. Since this will be my 1st time, I have no idea if it will work because my main board (posted in its box) said that it only supports XP and Vista. In preparation, can someone assist me in doing this step by step? What do I need to prepare first? Any drivers needed?

Get the drivers now and save them on a cd or a flash drive so that you will have them ready after the install.

Do you want to save anything from the XP installation? Quote from: JJ 3000 on January 31, 2011, 01:46:53 AM
