Windows 7 is going to launch Thursday 22-October-2009 and I think it would be better Idea to prepare your PC for windows 7 rather than watching the installation progress bar for hours in the installation process. Here given is a set of instructions “How you can upgrade your windows XP and VISTA to Windows 7”;
Before you buy an upgrade disc, though, you’ll want to ensure your system meets the minimum specs for windows 7. Here they are in table form, stylishly cribbed from Wikipedia’s Windows 7 page:
Minimum hardware requirements for Windows 7 x86
| Architecture | 32-bit | 64-bit |
| Processor | 1 GHz 32-bit processor | 1 GHz 64-bit processor |
| Memory (RAM) | 1 GB of RAM | 2 GB of RAM |
| Graphics Card | DirectX 9 graphics processor with WDDM driver model 1.0(For Aero) | |
| HDD free space | 16 GB of available disk space | 20 GB of available disk space |
| Optical drive | DVD drive (only to install from DVD/CD Media) |
Please double-check your system’s stats against Microsoft minimum Requirements. They offer a free Upgrade Advisor download for Windows systems that will tell you whether your hardware and peripherals can live in the Windows 7 world or not.
Upgrade from Vista
|
This one is the easiest option, since all your data files stay in place, your just-as-you-like-them computer settings stay in place, and you don’t need to touch anything with the word “partition” involved. The downside? Depending on how “clean” a user you are—in terms of removing unnecessary applications and keeping your media library trim and in one place—and the speed of your hardware, an upgrade to Windows 7 can take a seriously long time. That’s a worst-case scenario, but if you feel like you’ve got a lot of applications and data that might hold things up, there is a way to get tidy in a jiff. |

Load Windows 7 on a Netbook

It’s entirely possible to load Windows 7 onto netbooks that shipped with XP, Linux, or some other system. You’ll need a minimum of 1GB of RAM and 8GB of hard drive space on your netbook, along with a 4GB thumb drive and a valid copy of Windows 7. |
