Want to know if I can update my acer aspire 4530 notebook from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 when it becomes available. Not talking about an upgrade but rather a full install of the product. I had a problem trying to install Vista Ultimate on the machine. That's why I'm asking the question about Windows 7.

I would recommend you do a clean install on Windows 7 ie. format the hard disk etc. You can purchase a Windows 7 upgrade CD (which is cheaper to change to Windows 7) but you need the Vista CD to be able to install Windows 7.
If Microsoft has done their job properly you should not have any trouble.
I install the Windows 7 Release Canadidate version, this is the last Beta version before the final release on Oct 09 and I have found no problems with this install apart from some device drivers, but this should be resolved by then, either by Microsoft or the manufacturers of the devices.
Based on this I don't think you need to worry.

Acer aspire 5580 upgraded with windows 7(previous ly with windows vista home premium)- camera not working
From looking at the Acer support site it looks as if they haven't sorted out the driver files for Window 7 yet for the Bison, Logitech and Suyin webcams. I've had mixed success in the past by downloading and installing the older drivers for Vista but it's pretty hit and miss. Hopefully the afore mentioned manufacturer's are working on providing updated drivers for Windows 7 very soon.

Windows Vista Home Basic
Windows Vista Starter

1. Before upgrading to windows 7, you must check the specification of your acer aspire 5315.

2. Windows 7 is better than windows vista but if you are really wanted those acer programs to work. You have to downgrade your operating system from your previous operating system.

Can i update window 7 ? now i hv window XP is there any effect of my files available in system during downloading wndow7
Windows 7 does not allow an upgrade from Windows XP. You would have to upgrade to Vista first and then on to 7. Also, it depends on which Vista you have that will determine which Windows 7 you can upgrade to. If you have Vista Home basic for instance, you cannot upgrade to Windows 7 Premium or professional. It is really screwed up. You can however do a clean install but you will lose all your old files unless you back them up on an external drive before running the new OS.
