Windows 7 install professional help

I want to buy Windows 7 Professional to install on my computer which is now Windows XP Pro SP3. I don't want to lose all my apps, documents, emails etc. so I would really like to do a professional conversion. I don't know how to find a pro that I can trust. I live in the northeast of the PA. Anyone know how to find someone to do it for me? Even though I was a computer geek when I was working I have 9 years retired and did not follow with the field and don't trust myself to do this. Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Windows Update has nothing to do with upgrading a computer. That being said...

Even if your Windows XP computer hardware can support Win7, it must be a clean install of Win7. This means that you will lose all your third-party currently installed applications & have to install again once Win7 was installed.

You can save your current data, however, and then import the backup to Win7.

However, Win7 does not default mail client. If you have been access your e-mail through Outlook Express, you can install Windows Live Mail desktop from Win7, but it would be quite difficult to import your Outlook Express data to it.

If you have been access your email via MS Outlook, however, you would be able to import the data into Outlook on Win7 computer - at least once you've got Outlook 2007 or a later version (again).

TIP: QVC offers some good deals on computers brand new Win7 for as little as $550 right now. It is likely that it would cost at least $250 to pay someone to upgrade your Windows XP to Win7 computer.  Then there is the cost of purchase of Win7, too!

PS: There may be a school of computer technology near you where you might be able to get the update done Win7 little, if any, cost per student (supervised). Good luck!
