If you purchase a new computer today, it will most likely come with Windows Vista installed. To keep PC sales strong until October, some stores and manufacturer&#8217;s are offering a free upgrade copy of Windows 7 after it&#8217;s released if you purchase a new PC before October.<\/p>\n<p>A frequent question I am asked lately is if people should upgrade their current operating system (Windows XP or Windows Vista) to Windows 7. If your PC currently has Windows XP, then I do not recommend upgrading your current computer. However if you need a new computer, if you can wait for Windows 7 it would be a good choice rather than getting a new computer today with Windows Vista.<\/p>\n<p>If you currently have a PC with Windows Vista, upgrading to Windows 7 may be a worthwhile upgrade. Once Windows 7 is available and we&#8217;ve had experience with the upgrade process, I will advise further.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/computertechsreno.com\/tips\/should-you-upgrade-to-windows-7\/print\/\" title=\"Print This Article\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"WP-PrintIcon\" src=\"https:\/\/computertechsreno.com\/tips\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-print\/images\/printer_famfamfam.gif\" alt=\"Print This Article\" title=\"Print This Article\" style=\"border: 0px;\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/computertechsreno.com\/tips\/should-you-upgrade-to-windows-7\/print\/\" title=\"Print This Article\" rel=\"nofollow\">Print This Article<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Windows 7, Microsoft&#8217;s newest operating system will be released on October 22.
