Do you guys recommend upgrading from Vista 64 bit to 7 64 bit?
 
Not only upgrading the OS but do you recommend the upgrade version or the full version?
 
Thanks

If you are going to upgrade always do a fresh install.

personally I would just wait for win 8 and upgrade then.

I definitely recommend a fresh install with the full version as well, I have many stories in regards to problems during and as a result of the upgrade process. I can't say much in regards to Windows 8, as I haven't been closely following it, but I never really disliked Vista (excluding that rocky start), so I guess I'm pretty easy to please Big%20Smile

How long til Windows 8?  Just thinking of upgrading a bit for BF3. Upgrade my 275 GTX and OS to take advantage of DX11.
 
I don't have any real concerns that my current rig won't run it but I doubt it will run smoothly on highest settings.
