Curious to know about upgrading to Windows 7. I am presently running Windows Vista 64bit and have an upgrade coupon to upgrade to Windows 7. If I choose to upgrade to 7 will I lose all settings and configs, files and folders if I do so.
Thank you.
don't bother upgrading if you have vista. unless you want more cheap gadgets tacked on to make you think windows 7 is improved. you are not going to see much improvement performance-wise. atleist not yet.
As long as you do a in-place upgrade to Windows 7 and not a Custom or Clean install, you will not lose anything. Windows 7 does run and perform better than Vista does.

Karl Marx...Brink...Frostmourne...Thanks for your input...I guess I'll stick with what I have for now and see how 7 works out down the line.
Appreciate the good info.

Windows 7 will defently be worth it in my opinion. Vista is like the child you never really planned on having, good looking, but slightly dumb and drools a lot lol. But seriusly, Windows 7 is suppost to be better. As of right now Vista use's a lot of your resources, or atleast, more then pervious versions of windows. Maybe it's just me, but I am just really not a fan of vista at all.
I bought one of the pc's with the free upgrade. So I will try it out. One thing though, I was trying to sign up for it at the gateway site, and then I came to the enter credit card info part. I also noticed it was a site from Singapore. I am leary about things like that and will try calling gateway and see if there is a alturnative way of getting the upgrade. And I guess what they call "free" could cost you small fees based on info from other site. Even if, I'd gladly pay a few more bucks to be rid of Vista.
