Best Windows Ever
Upgrade from XP Home Media Center 32b to Windows 7 Pro 64b was simple and easy. After 154 updates peripherals installed with Windows 7 finding latest drivers immediately. Difference between XP and 7 might be described as Smart Car to Ferrari. Awesome operating system fully supported by Microsoft with critical updates for years. This was much cheaper than buying a new computer because XP support had ended, beats the heck out of Windows 8.

Almost as good as XP
Ok.. I have installed my Win 7 and it was a pretty easy installation. I guess I say almost as good as XP since I am still learning 7. Still has some bad habits left over from XP, ( I say XP since I didn't go with any others like Vista). One bad habit that I find annoying is that when I press Cntr-Alt-Delete, I want my task manager to shut the program down right away, not wait 60 sec. or so. But, I am on an old computer that's about 6 yrs old and Win 7 Pro 64 bit runs decently. There isn't too bad a learning curve, but back up your work as I did a clean install, it doesn't do it for you.

great program, runs smooth and effecient.
i would recommend window 7 professional to a friend, as it is efficient, can run all your old programs. You can use the administrator setting an operate programs designed for XP without buying or downloading extra drivers. A feature that was not carried over into windows 8!

Glad I updated
I was running windows XP but with the discontinued support coming I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade. I was going to get a new computer since my system is old but every new computer has Windows 8 which is a joke. My computer met the requirments for windows 7 so I did a clean install. It's like a brand new faster computer now. EVERYTHING is much faster since I'm able to use the dual core and other hardware to it's maximum potential. This was a very good move.

Installed easily and worked like a charm!
I bought this to upgrade motion computing J3500 tablet. This 64bit system utilized all 8 gigs of RAM and really improved the performance of the machine. Being that the machine had to be connect to the net for all the updates took some time but after that this machine was ready to go! So far I have not had any issues with lag on the stylus so I am very satisfied with the results.
