So an older coworker of mine wanted to upgrade his quad core desktop from Windows Vista to Windows 7 operating system. A computer guy he knows was going to charge him $100 to help him do it. I told him to not worry about that and to just buy the software and bring it into work.
Once he purchased the software (which is now going up in price to force consumers to turn to Windows 8 instead of going back to Windows 7) he brought in both his desktop and the Windows 7 disk and I proceeded to help him upgrade.
Honestly, I love loading up a new software onto a machine for a clean install.
The machine was placed in a back office on a quiet day. All the initial "clicks" were made to get the software going. It took around 6 1/2 hours to simply monitor from time to time, but my co-worker went home with a brand "new" computer. All it cost him was buying both of us lunch. 48 hours later, he reported to me that the Windows 7 upgrade was a success. It was less buggy than the Vista, as most of us who endured Vista already knew. He couldn't be happier. He had taken a look at the Windows 8 and just couldn't get too warm about it. So upgrading to Windows 7 was his next best option and he did.
