Just select upgrade, which will keep your existing files and upgrade to Win 7. You’ll be able to do it no problem, and unless you select clean install, you will not lose your files.

It worked, but it wasn't clean and I had problems. I then did a fresh install and it then worked seamlessly. Try the upgrade first, but bear in mind a fresh install might be necessary. Your system specs will run it just fine. I had issues with the upgrade. It worked, but it wasn’t clean and I had problems. I then did a fresh install and it then worked seamlessly.

Your system specs will run it just fine.

I've been using it since the RC came out here and at work. The only thing to keep in mind is it will take a few hours (my took about 4) with the RC. Current the migration process takes a while for all of the Vista configuration object. Installing w/o an upgrade takes about 1 hour. Your specs are close to mine and I upgraded without any issue.

When you purchase Windows 7, you will get a disc. You will place the disc in the drive and follow the directions. See the site below. I think you will not have a problem.
