But for the past 30 minutes my upgrade from Home Premium Vista to Windows 7 is stuck at "Checking compatability".
First time it gave the "install SP1 error" so I did
now it's stuck at the checking compat.
The bar on the mainscreen is moving, but it doesnt seem the small bar below is moving![Frown :( :(](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png)
Yea I am putting it on a pc over vista, actually its an 3gig memory HP laptop, but currently I use it to test new systems and such (MCDST training and such)
How long will this checking take? been 40 minutes now
(my post takes long to type
)

Maybe try doing a clean install rather than an upgrade.. Clean installs of Windows 7 (32 bit OR 64 bit) onlly take 20 mins to complete... ![Wink ;) ;)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png)
If you've got files that you don't want to lose or bother taking the time to back them up, then just create a new partition in Disk Management and move all your data files over to there then proceed with the clean install.. I wouldn't do an upgrade from vista to a beta version of an OS. just doesn't seem very practical...![Wink ;) ;)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png)
