    Hi I'm due to get a windows 7 upgrade in a few days I'll be moving from vista.

    Can anyone tell me their experience with the upgrade. e.g. Is the upgrade simple, fast, are all files and settings left unchanged, was there any problems I need to watch out for. Thanks.

    Had ZERO issues myself, but as always best way to avoid disaster is to back up everything now while you are waiting for it to arrive.

    No major problems upgrading from Vista to 7 although the remote control for Media Center wouldn't work so had to track down the driver for it to work with Windows 7 myself, also had to find a new driver etc. for the nVidia Control Panel

    I'd no trouble with Vista -> W7 beta (months ago!). Would recommend a HD wipe though, if possible, just to keep it clean rather than over an old install :)

    Did you try running windows update. That's always found the drivers for me. Well, except the drivers for some belkin wireless adapter. No win 7 drivers for that.
