Windows XP information


I bought a laptop that was eligible for a free Windows 7 upgrade. Can I upgrade my desktop instead?

The Laptop was a Toshiba, but I want to upgrade my Dell desktop to windows 7. Will I be able to just use the CD they send me to upgrade the desktop, or is the upgrade specific to a certain manufacturer? I don’t plan on upgrading the Laptop.

Is it better to upgrade computer drivers?

Friday 5 February 2010 @ 8:20 am
computer upgrade


I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, and I had to upgrade the touchpad driver and WLAN wireless card driver because both were not working right. On Dell’s website, there are many other drivers for my specific computer that they “recommend”. One is for the audio, which works fine at the moment. I make restore points before I upgrade anything like this, but I still worry about upgrading too much and messing something up. So, is it better to upgrade computer drivers or leave them alone if they’re working fine?

I have a Dell inspiron 1525 with the integrated graphics card. I know i probably need an external adapter to upgrade the graphics card but wasn’t sure if they made one for vista with this model Laptop. Any suggestions for upgrading my graphics would be greatly appreciated. I am usually very good with computers so feel free to use terminology usually reserved for those who aren’t as advanced in this field. If other specs are needed on this situation please let me know and i will update as needed or e-mail me and i can give better details.
