[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 27439, member: 1573"] Per your recommendation, Jack, I went to microsoft to get Windows 7. Found a scanning program to install on the computer that would analyze the current system and let you know if there are issues and/or which windows 7 to use. Everything cleared except a "Dell" issue. Referred me to Dell . . . this laptop is not compatible with Windows 7. I would have to do a "custom install" and then manually re-install all drivers. And the custom install does not save the program and data files, if I read it correctly. Since I just finished re-installing EVERYTHING, I think I'll wait until I have another "issue" with Vista, or until I have more energy. . . whichever comes first. Thanks for your suggestions. I always value the voice of experience :-) [/QUOTE]
