New Operating System


 

When I built my new PC in the summer I took the opportunity to buy an upgrade from Windows XP Professional to Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit. I left XP Pro on the old PC when I transferred ownership to my Dad and installed Vista from the start on the new PC. Anyway, when I bought Vista I paid about £5 or so extra to get the version that was eligible for an upgrade to Windows 7; which arrived yesterday.

I was out all last night and didn't get a chance to do the upgrade; so, instead, I started the upgrade when I got home from work this evening. It started at 5:45pm and finished after about 2 hours. Everything went relatively smoothly. I had to reinstall MagicISO to get the DVD Image drive working and had to uninstall and reinstall VueScan to re-enable my scanner. One thing that seems to have been totally broken is Comodo Anit-Spam. I've ended up uninstalling it and am now trying BullGuard SpamFilter. Will see how it goes but I could always end up filtering all of my domain email through Googlemail.
