Windows 7: Upgrade Checklist

Confirm that you have all of the following at hand before you start the upgrade.

• A compatible PC: Chances are that if your machine is running Vista, it will be able to run Windows 7. But to make sure, or if your system is currently running XP, download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
• Upgrade disc and Product ID: Sorry, but you’ll have to buy the upgrade in order to get the upgrade.
• Image-backup software: If the installation goes horribly wrong, an image backup can take you back where you came from. I recommend using the free version of Macrium Reflect.
