Many Vista users will upgrade to the latest and greatest operating system that is Windows 7, and countless Windows XP users will definitely install it.
Microsoft will be allowing both XP and Vista users the right to purchase upgrade editions of Windows 7 which run for considerably less money. For example, the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade is $120, but its full edition priced for $200. Similarly, Windows 7 Professional ($200/$300) and Ultimate ($220/$320) will be sold as Upgrade and Full editions.
Now, in terms of how you can complete a migration on a machine already running Windows, and in-place upgrade option will make the experience unlimited, all your programs, files and settings will remain untouched coming from specific editions of Vista. However, for another significant portion of users, installing from starting will be the only path present.
Microsoft has launched a chart to help users showing what migration paths are open to them. Unfortunately, the chart is so confusing that it makes the whole process seem much more complicated than it is. In an attempt to make things simple upgrade path is suggested also. Windows XP and Windows Vista Starter users have to do a clean install.
There are many things worth important here. While you can't do a direct update from Windows Vista Home Basic or Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional, there is simple a workaround. You can run an in-place upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium, and then use Windows Anytime Upgrade to move up to Professional for an additional $90. The total upgrade cost amounts to $210, which is $10 more than a direct migration but still better than buying a full Professional license at $300.
Windows XP users are not limited in the edition of Windows 7 they can upgrade through a clean install. Additionally, users of XP may have a path to Windows 7, if absolutely necessary, though it's less than recommended. It's been suggested that one could upgrade to Vista using a borrowed disc, skip activation altogether, and then run an in-place upgrade to Windows 7.
