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.

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.

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!
