Default Upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7

Greetings. I just finished reinstalling Vista Home Premium (had no choice),
and will buy Windows 7 once it is available. My questions: 1) will I be able
to install Windows 7 over my Vista Home Premium, without having to reinstall
all my software, and 2) if I went from 32-bit to 64-bit, would I have to do a
complete reinstall? Thank you.

Default Upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7

1. In general yes. Specifics would depend on your specific situation and
proposed upgrade path.
2. There is no way to upgrade from 32-bit to 64 bit; a clean install is
necessary.
