    One question is Windows 7 really worth the update. If it is than will the software application working on XP work in it??

    I think its better fresh install Windows 7 than upgrade.

    Just format your windows xp, and then install windows 7. Its will avoid some problem with several software if not compatible.

    Hey great upgrade guide. I don't foresee needing xp mode too often, but it would be a handy addition. Too bad it's only available with pro and ultimate, I only have premium version.

    Better to upgrading win xp to vista, and then to win7...I think it's possible to upgrade form vista without activating vista .

    I Agree

    Its better to format and than install any windows whenever u do.

    but for those who have many apps installed up gradation is a option.

    This Guide is Good , but do read it carefully it need to u backup many files and transferring many files.

    Thanks for the guide though my frnd needed it.

    There is slight change in the default partitioning when installing Windows 7. As you might have already noticed on a fresh installation, Windows 7 creates a 100 MB hidden partition for storing certain system files. You will not get this partition when upgrading to Windows 7. Its highly sugested to install Windows 7 fresh if possible.

    Windows 7 will eat up a lot of memory. I wouldn't suggest you to upgrade to Windows 7.
