I was just reading something on the NACHI message board about Michrosoft not supporting Windows XP any more after April.

I have a convertible PC (Fijitsu Life book T 4215) that I love, but it has XP on it.

I do have a desktop with win 7 on it.

How would I go about updating the XP OS to win 7?
Or is that possible?

Cheers

You would have to completely wipe the tablet before putting Windows 7 on it so make sure to backup everything. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Doug... NO, you may continue to use it, but Microsoft will no longer support it, so if you have any issues you are on your own, and at the mercy of anyone claiming aftermarket tech support. My advice, step up to Win7 soon. You will have to sooner or later anyway.
