I ran into two issues: 1. The NVIDIA 8200M G driver needed updated. I downloaded the new driver while still on Vista. When I was ready load the new driver on Windows 7, it punted because I had downloaded a 64bit driver to a 32bit OS. It ended up not being a big deal because I just went to the NVIDIA site and downloaded the driver again 2. The second issue was the 32 bit Symantec Endpoint Virus protection software. I upgraded to the 64 bit version once on Windows 7. Other than the two problems listed, it was an extremely smooth upgrade. It only took about 45 minutes to complete the whole uninstall of the old and reinstall of the new. I thought that this was extremely quick and there was hardly anything I was required to do except wait and enjoy an ice cold beverage.
