Microsoft have embraced video like never before with the launch of Windows 7. One of the most useful of these videos is a quick tutorial on how to upgrade your PC from Windows XP.
The upgrade from XP is especially important to Microsoft. This is because of the sheer volume of people who skipped Vista due to its bad press and sluggish performance.
You can’t do an in-place upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. This is because the two operating systems are so completely different in structure. The only way to install Windows 7 if you are still using XP is to format your hard disk and start again with a clean install.
You can watch the video on how to make the upgrade process from XP as painless as possible here.
Doing a clean install is great but be sure to backup your data that you do not want to loose before hand.
Lol, a video explaining just how much work is involved will not make the experience any less painful.
