How can I move my computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7? Custom or upgrade?

Hi, I have a Dell XPS M1530 with Windows Vista 32 bit, I bouht a Windows 7 Family pack upgrade, my computer has this partition of the hard drive C: 220 GB and RECOVERY D: 10 GB.

I want to know that if I do the install as upgrade, it will keep the same partition of hard drive?

If that's enough, this partition of Windows 7, or should I do a large partition?

If I copy the D: RECOVERY files, do a factory image restore in the future?

I have some other doubts that I ask after this ones.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Walter,

Dell has not yet, I bought the W7 dell family pack,

Let me tell you what I did, I opened the D: RECOVERY and copy all the content in an external hard drive just in case where I don't know (I don't know how to do the recovery disc).

I copy all my files on the same portable hard drive, and then I make an original image to restore.

I update W Vista until Service Pack 2 and now I try to install the Windows 7 upgrade, but I don't know how to do and if I do which is how I had to do.

I have the reistalation W Vista 32 bit of dell DVD.

Let me ask you something when you said: ' make an upgrade should keep the same data programs and settings, etc ", do you mean that when I do the upgrade of the partition of the factory will be the same after the upgrade?

copy the files from an external hard drive recovery and create a disc from there will not allow you to use them to reinstall vista

Ask how to do recovery dell discs

read my 1 answer

and make the windows 7 upgrade was referring to the installation of windows 7 as an upgrade to vista on partition of 220gbs

for any other installatiion windows 7 questions to ask in the Sub forum to install windows 7

"Download Windows 7 installed and activated on your PC."
