Full FeedWindows 7 upgrade details revealed
There comes that time before a new operating system is released when people begin to wonder what the upgrade costs will be and whether they should hold off on purchasing a new computer. It seems that time is upon us now, thanks to the upcoming release of Windows 7, and while we still do not have a final release date or pricing information, the upgrade details are slowly being revealed.
According to some still unconfirmed information, it looks like there are going to be a few options and they will depend on whether you are choosing to upgrade from Vista or XP. Also, for anyone that has been through an operating system release in the past, these details will be familiar. To begin with, anyone who purchases a new computer running Windows Vista after July 1, 2009, you will then qualify for a free upgrade to Windows 7. The version of Windows 7 that you will receive as a free upgrade will depend on your version of Vista. For example, Vista Home Premium users will get Windows 7 Home Premium, Vista Ultimate users will get Windows 7 Ultimate and so on.
As for current users, who are choosing to upgrade, XP users will not have a direct upgrade path, however a clean installation will be allowed. This option is both good and bad. It means you will have to migrate you files over manually. This may be difficult for some less technical users, however on the positive side, a fresh installation will give you a nice starting point. It will also give you a good chance to clean your system of all that unwanted junk that tends to build up over time. Vista users will have a few options to consider as they will be able to either upgrade their current installation or perform a fresh install.
