Can I Upgrade to Windows 7?

Microsoft has a nice little utility to download to examine your computer for Windows 7 portability.

Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor


The Advisor scans your computer and lists compatibility issues and suggestions for the move. Our computers are mostly ready for Windows 7. Unfortunately, I will need to do a clean install in order to move to the 64-bit version.

Microsoft also has a support page for that.

I'll pass along any additional tidbits if I find them. I'm eager to get started, but I need to find a copy of the Windows 7 "Family" pack (which is out of stock everywhere.) Still, it's forcing me to research, backup, plan and hopefully avoid making mistakes.
