The release of Windows 7 is just a few days away as I write this and inevitably the question of whether to upgrade the current version of Windows on their PC will occupy many PC users’ thoughts. Is it worth upgrading?
The advice for most people has to be No. It’s not that Windows 7 isn’t worth it, it is actually a great version of Windows and it’s one of Microsoft’s best. The problem is that a lot of people have old and/or cheap PCs that may not be suitable for Windows 7. An old PC running XP should not be upgraded to Vista. Firstly, it’s probably running XP just fine and there is an old saying that goes, “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.” Even PC’s running might be best left alone too.
The only Windows users that should consider upgrading are those that have recently bought a new PC. If it is only a few months old then by all means upgrade Windows, but anything more than a couple of years old is best running the operating system that came with it.
Don’t rush to get Windows 7. When you buy a new PC it will come with Microsoft’s new OS and that’s the cheapest way to buy it and it avoids any compatibility problems. All new PCs from October this year will come with Windows 7 and will be designed to run Windows 7.
