With the new Windows 7 beta out from Microsoft, I decided to try to upgrade an existing Windows Vista x64 which has been very stable and not had a problem, has a fair few applications installed and lots of documents. I wasn’t putting up much hope, but backed up all the Documents and proceeded to upgrade the Vista installation as opposed to a new installation.
The installation started properly with no issues from within Windows Vista, then the PC required a restart, so restarted and the installation continued.
A message then came up during installation that “a required driver could not be found”. This could be a problem, once the error had been closed, the window on screen said that all changes made would be reverted to how they were. So my thoughts here were that it would restart back to Windows Vista like it was before with a heap of temporary installation files on the C drive.
