sorry ,but win 7 is another load of use bilge from microsoft,supposed to be able to upgrade this crappy vista but after several hours with it going in a continuous loop i have had to set my laptop yet again to factory settings as i couldnt do a damn thing with it,so back to using my solidly dependable desktop with xp,runs a treat doesnt make me go back to factory settings every 5 minutes and usable as i can find everything ,like add remove software,know how long it took to find in vista,no you dont,why change something so simple and obvious as add remove programs,it says what it does!! and easy to find,vista crap,win7 crap,not spending any more money on bill gates hype,next machine is gonna be linux or mac
