Windows 7 Upgrade Takes Up To 21 hours

I am having a lot of problems with Windows Vista. If it was not the fact that I actually paid for this copy, I will have downgraded to Windows XP. As such, I am waiting for Windows 7 since most of the reports that I have read says it is what Windows Vista should be.

And now comes this new piece of news. A Windows 7 upgrade can take up to 21 hours, or almost a full day! I do not want to do a clean install, too much data to backup. Microsoft better fix this.

    Wenjie,

    A clean install is always best as performing a clean install will also offer the user the best experience possible. While you indeed will be able to perform an upgrade install, 21 hours does seem quite excessive. If you would like more feedback from users who have used Windows 7 and are pleased please see the following link: http://tinyurl.com/mjtcq7

    Also, if you are planning on purchasing Windows 7 when it is released it may be helpful to know you don’t have to wait until October to reserve your copy of Win 7! You can pre-order your copy of Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Professional today. For more information, see the Windows 7 Pre-Order offer page here: http://tinyurl.com/nldc8p
