Window Vista to Windows Se7en upgrade question...?

Question

When Windows Se7en comes out, will I be able to smoothly transfer my existing setting and programs from my Vista set up to Se7en? Also, will Vista users that choose to upgrade get some sort of a discount?

**IMPORTANT**

Don't bother with anti-Vista and anti-Microsoft comments. I've been using Vista for 2 years and I haven't gotten one crash or fatal error. Vista works great, and I look forward to Se7en.

So if you choose to answer this question, please base it off factual evidence or at least something somewhat reliable.

Thanks in advance! =)

Answer 1

The earliest builds of Windows 7 are similar to Windows Vista in appearance, so I would assume that the settings should be easily transferable. Microsoft has promised (not that that means anything) that they are focusing on making Vista programs fully compatible with Seven. There have been cheaper "upgrade" disc in the past that require you to have a previous copy of Windows available. I would assume there would be a similar option this time around as well.

Seven isn't even in beta testing yet, so neither I nor anyone else can offer you anything but speculation.

Answer 2

Windows Se7en is still in its first stages of development. There is hardly any information out about it. My guess would be there will be a way to transfer your settings and files, but its a complete shot in the dark right now.

I can't wait for Se7en to come out either :D Its going to be a completely new system, not a old system jazzed up to look good

Dear customer! :))

About Seven. Microsoft will release this version of windows nearly 2012, and the codename "seven" can be changed several times during this period, same like it happens with Vista when the first codename was Windows Longhorn.

About the file and settings transfer feature. It is premature to ask this kind of questions because development of Windows Seven is keeping secretly. According to Microsoft press releases, Windows Seven should have new generation kernel module which means that it will leave the NT Operating System family, and in fact, the ability of transferring settings from one Operating System to another.
