Fluffy, I hope the upgrade goes smoothly I'll be having to do the same with mine. The last Windows 7 Windows update is issued next Tuesday/Wednesday. Windows 7 should be OK in the short term. As the tax return deadline is 31 Janaury I can'r be without the computer until after that deadline. The ffirst update which won't happen wouldn't have been until mid February anycase and my a/v s/w is kept right up to date.
