You ask me to answer: solve the common problem from XP upgrade to Win7

With the delisting of XP system, I believe that many system users choose to upgrade it to Win7 system, then, during the upgrade process, jump directly Choosing an upgrade over Vista is an inevitable choice. Today, we will come together to ask you how to answer me. I will summarize a problem that will be strange on the road to upgrade. With this book in hand, the upgrade will be able to pass all the way.

1Q: Can XP be upgraded in-place to Windows 7?

A: No. Only Vista users can choose “in-place upgrade”. Microsoft said that there are many changes in hardware support and driver mode, so it is not the best solution from XP "in-place upgrade" to Windows 7. Microsoft recommends that users first back up the data and then reinstall the system and all other applications.

2Q: What are the requirements for Windows 7 on the system?

The system requirements for Windows 7 are very similar to those of Vista. The official data given by Microsoft is as follows:

-1GHz or Faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

-1GB RAM (32-bit) or 2GB RAM (64-bit)

-16GB (32-bit) or 20GB (64-bit) available hard disk space

- DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher

But Microsoft's requirements are for reference only. Previously, the speed of running Vista with a computer with 1GB of memory was very slow. Although Windows 7 would be better, the effect is still unsatisfactory.

3 Q: How do I know if my computer can run Windows 7?

You can run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. The software is currently in beta. Users can download and install at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/upgrade-advisor.aspx. This program can detect the hardware that is currently running XP and tell the user what needs to be improved.

4Q: What should I do before the upgrade?

We recommend that users first make an image of the existing system in case they give up Windws 7 and switch to the original system. There are currently many free image creation software.

5 Q: Can I upgrade to 64-bit Windows 7?

If your processor is 64-bit. Whether it's a CD-ROM or a download, Windows 7 offers both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. If you are installing 32-bit Vista and want to upgrade to 64-bit Windows 7, you will have to reinstall the system.

Users can download and run the free SecurAble tool to see if their processor supports 64-bit systems. The program can also tell users whether they can use Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate Windows XP mode.

6Q: Can you run the software in the original system XP?

If it is Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate. Both versions of the user can run the "Windows XP Mode" plugin, and then you can create an XP virtual environment based on a virtual PC running in Windows 7. However, the plugin is not included with the CD and users need to download it themselves.

XP mode comes with a fully licensed version of Windows XP SP3, so users do not need additional authorization. However, this mode requires the user's processor to support virtualization technology. Users can test their own processors with the free SecurAble.

The above points are most of the problems we will encounter when upgrading. If you want to let your XP system quit and replace the small seven with the largest user base, are you good? What is the homework for upgrading the ground temperature?
