Alhamdulillah, after waiting about more than an hour I was successfully upgrade my Dell XPS M1330 machine from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.
I’ve got no errors when the upgrade process running, only a message in the beginning of process that inform me that some applications will not run on Windows 7 after upgrade from Vista (i.e. SQL Server Management Studio). As l recalled, only three applications that will not run.
My XPS provides finger print reader to log in to system, and it works fine.
Next, first time first, check following applications:
VS 2008
This should be run, just wanna make sure.
SQL Server Management Studio
When the upgrading process runs, this application is included as one application that need to be uninstalled first. However, i did not uninstall it and will see what happen when I try to open it:
I got above an error message when trying to open SQL Server Management Studio. Ok will do something to make it run (hmm, probably need to reinstall it again, don’t know yet).
OpenOffice Writer
I got this runs well too:
Oracle Services
Oracle services: both the listener and the service looks fine, all have been up and started:
Others application such as my internal office messaging system created using Java looks good on Windows 7.
So, no reason not to upgrade my Vista to Windows 7. Thanks to Naren for the iso, so I don’t have to download from MSDN.
