Perform a full backup of the computer running Windows Vista prior to performing the

■ You must ensure that Windows Vista has Service Pack 1 or later installed before you can upgrade it to Windows 7.
■ Ensure that you have the Windows 7 product key prior to the upgrade.
■ You cannot upgrade between processor architectures. An x86 version of Windows Vista cannot be upgraded to an x64 version of Windows 7, and vice versa.

Enterprise, or Ultimate, but not to Windows 7 Starter. Windows 7 Professional is
equivalent to Windows Vista Business.
■ Ensure that there is at least 10 GB of free disk space on the Windows Vista volume
prior to attempting the upgrade.

regardless of the amount of profi le data being migrated.
