Hi All

Im finally ready to upgrade my system from XP to Windows 7.

Now before I start this tedious task, I have one question.

I have an external hard drive to import all my files to. 
However, on my system I'm using 3 Drives, C: for my Programs, D: for my Samples, and E: for my Audio.

Do I have to import all 3 drives over before I upgrade, or can I just import my C: Drive?

just install 7 on C:

First, copy or import/export anything you want on C: over to one of the other drives temporarily.

Do a full install of 7 on C:. I wouldn't do an "upgrade" per se. I would wipe the drive and start over.
This means re-installing everything.

As Tim mentioned:
  • Backup any data residing on C:
  • Clean install of Win7x64 on C:
  • Copy over any data you want to reside on the C: drive.
