Upgrade from Vista to W7 on Acer Notebook
When I install Windows 7 the instructions say that I will lose my installed programs. If I use the backup image to re-install the programmes, the backup image CD reinstalls Windows Vista. How can I get around this???

The installed programmes that came with my Acer notebook are copied onto the Acer backup image DVD.

Thank you for your help in advance

If you choose the "upgrade", it should carry forward all your programs, and personal data. Only if you choose "Custom" will you lose your programs.
