Make a list of what you use, check the vendors site to see if you can find Windows 7 compatibility. It can start to cost some money to upgrade software and hardware if it does not work with Win7. If you want to Dual Boot, do you have space for the seperate install? Seperate partition or Drive would work if you can empty it out. If your space is limited then the cost of a Hard Drive would increase the cost of upgrading. Best way to see if it’s a good idea to upgrade is to look at your software and hardware.
