I have been using xp for the last ~10 years and now I want to upgrade to windows 7. I recently built a newish computer and now my wife's computer crashed from different viruses/worms. We also have a vista 32 bit laptop that is starting to act up after 3.5 years of use. I have the xp disc and necessary keys to reinstall windows on both computers.
When I finish installing windows xp should install all the service packs and any recent security updates?
Should I install the 32 bit chipset/graphics/audio/LAN/etc. drivers before upgrading to 7?
We were able to find three upgrade keys for $120 compared to $100 for each install disc. It would save us a lot of money. I just want to know the best way about doing things.
My main goal is to get the best performance from the computers.
