So i scratched my head walked back out with the cash in my pocket and still to this day i`m still wondering why.

Not that i,m really worried about it but i did want to do the upgrade at that time but now i just don't seem fussed about it at the moment but later on when techies now a bit more i may convert then.

Cheers Kev.
What he meant was that you can't do an upgrade from XP to WIN 7 because Microsoft have made big changes from XP to WIN 7 and the differences mean you cant upgrade you have to backup all your data and format your Hard Drive and do clean install. A pain because you have to reinstall all your software but I personally think that the improvements make it worth while. As for drivers from what I can see of your Lappy on the net I think that you would have no trouble there should be heaps of drivers for that one.
