Windows 7: Upgrading from Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Ultimate (32-bit)
Upgrading from Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Ultimate (32-bit)
by zydecolegs - 10/27/09 3:52 PMIn the initial stages of running my Win 7 Ultimate upgrade, the software advised me to uninstall the following before proceeding with the installation:
iTunes
Bluetooth Stack for Windows
Intel Proset/wireless
The last two items (Bluetooth/Intel) were preinstalled on my laptop at the time of purchase and I am reluctant to uninstall them. Please advise. Also, are there expected problems with iTunes in Win 7?
Hardware:
Toshiba Satellite X205-S9359
4GB RAM
32-bit
Current OS: Win Vista Ultimate SP 2
Upgrading to OS: Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit
Thank you!!!

You can also check Toshbia's website to see if they have any updated drivers for those things, and others while you're there.
I also kind of suspect iTunes doesn't REALLY need to be removed, it's just Microsoft's way of making it kind of a hassle for iTunes users.
depends on the itunes version
by ramarc - 10/27/09 5:13 PM In reply to: No by Jimmy Greystonea version more than a year old could be problematic with win 7. remember, it took apple nearly 4 months to deliver a stable version of itunes for vista because itunes includes lower-level functionality (almost a driver but not quite) for ipods.
i recommend upgrading to the latest itunes before installing win 7.

Buy Windows 7 Ultimate and do an upgrade install. That's fully supported.

You should be able to find the updates for drivers from the Windows Compatibility center: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx. You can reinstall most updated software once your upgrade is complete.
Cheers,
Tara
