Should I upgrade?

[laeti]

I am an absolute dumb wit concerning computers and stuff. I just bought myself an Acer 5332 which runs Vista. Should I upgrade to Windows 7? It seems all the rage at the moment.

That all depends on a couple of things.

1. Is the Acer running fine on Vista? If so, i would say not to upgrade to Win 7 just yet, why break it if it aint broke???

2. If you decide to upgrade to Win 7, will you be able to manually install drivers that may be missed in the process of installing the win 7 OS?

Run the Microsoft upgrade advisor for Windows 7.

No... there is no need for upgrading at all. Windows 7 is Windows Vista 2.0.

If you don't know much about computers, then you are, for sure, not missing anything.
