I would like to upgrade to Windows 7. I have run the Upgrade Adviser and my computer is compatible with the 32 Bit version of Windows 7. When I look on line for Windows 7, there do not seem to be any versions for upgrade only, they all require a clean installation. What product do I need to buy and what are the procedures for a simple upgrade from XP to 7? This thread is locked.

Basically this means that, without Aero themes, your computer will be slower by a significant margin, and be more likely to have screen artifacts black blocks or lines when you drag windows around and even be more likely to experience application hangs and crashes.
No, it's completely true. Hardware graphics accelleration is not used - and the s GDI technology instead - when you disable Aero. For example, have you ever moved a window quickly and see the duplicates not unlike the cards falling after winning a game of solitaire? With Aero, the entire desktop are simply objects with textures painted on by the GPU -- you move a window, the program under it never has to re-supply the bitmap for what is now visible -- nor does the CPU even query it.
Rendering in your video card can speed up a system as much as 8 fold, even older systems with slower single-core CPU's, because that CPU can now be offloaded the graphics-related tasks. Try it out.
