    Hi folks,

    I have two Vista laptops, performance is terrible on both of them

    I want to upgrade them both to Windows 7

    I am happy to do a "clean" install, there is nothing on either machine that can't be backed up.


    What product should I buy?
    (the new OS on disks including softcopy of the manuals..?)
    Is there a cheaper way to do this by downloading an ISO and then burning it myself

    Can I use the same product to upgrade both machines?

    Do I need to worry about drivers for the wireless/802.11 hardware?


    Thanks,

    S

    As far as downloading the ISO is concerned, thats illegal, and I'm pretty sure we cant talk about it here.

    But I can say from experience, Windows 7 comes with a lot of drivers preloaded, so you needn't worry about that.

    You need to purchase a install for each machine.
    If money is a concern, go with Ubuntu instead. It's free and very good.
