I have done this with no problems. Go to the windows 7 page and they have a program to check if your computer is compatable with windows 7.

Yes, agree with jackstee - I didn't upgrade (I started anew with Windows7) but it should be fairly painless. Best operating system since XP, very stable and great on compatibility (i.e. like Vista should have been but wasn't).

I ran the check on my 2 yr old Dell laptop and it says;

System BIOS not compatible

I'm miffed, any advice on how I can sort this (other than the obvious BIN IT) would be apreciated.

My new PC came with Vista and a free upgarde to Windows 7. Haven't bothered yet. Given some of you know the level of my computer literacy should I change over.
