Hi All

I am trying to up grade a laptop that is running XP home to windows 7 and did not know if I had to install Visita before I could do the up grade to Win 7? If someone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you

Nope, just pop in the disc and follow the instructions

Before you perform the upgrade, it is generally a good idea to back up everything on an external hard drive in case the upgrade did not work correctly.

Also, if you have no experience with reformatting, try practicing on Virtual Machines.
