Well I'm biting the bullet and making the upgrade from
XP Home 32bit to
Win 7 64bit. Ordered the upgrade this week and will get it next week.
I had been running the
RC for months with no major problems but switched back to
XP due to needing to use a program for work that wouldn't run on the
RC.
That being said, I'm now in the process of my preupgrade prep-work -
Downloading drivers, critical programs, etc.and burning them to disk)
Cleaning out all unneeded junk files
Backing up files
One thing I'll do just before the upgrade is to use
Sysinternals' Disk2vhd to make VHDs of my existing
XP harddrives and putting them on my network storage. That way, after the upgrade, not only can I mount the VHDs in
Win 7 so I can have access to all my old files (in case I miss anything) but also using either
Virtual PC or
Virtualbox I can use the VHDs to run my old
XP setup as a virtual machine (with a little luck and tweaking)
