I haven't posted because I was busy picking up my computers and trying
to set them up again.
Thank you all for your responses, information and advice. The dedicated
computer with LMS and Squeezebox files was cleaned and updated to Win7
and I am working to get everything working well. So far very

What kind of files are they? Are they pictures, Word Docs, Excel files?
You would just copy them from your external backup drive to wherever you
want
yes, they are picture, Quicken, workout logs,emails, etc. I do have the
original Quicken disc, but not sure I have the photo startup discs etc.
The photos concern me the most. I wouldn't want to lose them. My workout
logs are important to me, too. I recently did a complete backup thru the
XP

It makes anyone nervous. What I've advised friends in your situation is
to buy a new, bigger/faster hard drive and have your tech put it into
your desktop PC right next to your existing drive. He should know how
Apesbrain, having a new drive with Win7 and holding onto Win XP is a
great idea. Thanks for the suggestion. I will talk to my tech about
doing this very soon. Thank you.

Well, I have now been informed that I cannot upgrade from Windows XPpro
to Win7 and still keep all of my existing programs. I'm not sure I
understood the process but it seemed very complicated. The problem seems
to be that I did not go to Win VISTA.
Can anyone give me a different explanation for

I run Win7 on my primary computer, and may be going to Win8.1 on a new
device I'm having built, but have maintained XP on the dedicated music
server. I've seen no reason to change as it's working fine. I don't do
XP upgrades on it anyway, so won't miss the updates no longer coming
from
+1
And upgrading an existing OS ime does not workout as advertised it's not
the same as a fresh install , you probably end up with a fresh install
anyway .
And in that respect I do have a beef with pc's with preinstalled OS that
does not come with a real windows disc , but some eom junk
If you plan on going the 64bit route then there is no upgrade path from
XP 32bit regardless. The Vista upgrade route you mentioned before would
require you to stay 32bit. If your PC will run 64bit and my
recommendation would be for at least 3GB memory I'd go with a clean
64bit install of Win7 or
+1 for a fresh install of any OS is better, statrting with a clean reg
file so no hidden program links cause issues. Now for my 2 cents, if
the XP is working fine no need to change. Upgrading to a new OS is very
hardware dependant and being able to function at the preformance level
expected.
Ikabob, I think Windows 8/8.1 is actually less demanding of the hardware
than is Windows 7. I have old machines that I've updated to both. No
problem at all running them.

Thanks for the responses. I have purchased win7 and will have a pro
install it for me. Thanks again.

I think you made the right choice. I prefer Win7 over 8.
