Hi:
My HP dv6500z laptop has Windows Vista 32-bit Home Premium for its OS.
I am interested in upgrading this OS to Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium.
If I upgrade to Windows 7 and do not like it, can I undo Windows 7 and be back
to Windows Vista 32-bit Home Premium ?

How would I go about doing this ?

Thank you...

Make an image of your pc (using something like Acronis or Macrium) before
installing windows 7. Afterward, you can just restore the image to your pc.

I haven't done my upgrade yet, but one idea I'm toying with is making a
clone of my OS disk, mounting that in place of the original, and
practicing with the clone instead of the original.

I'm not sure it's a clever idea, because if I do that I would have to
decide whether to revert to the original and install W7 on that for
real, or just stick with the clone :-)

Yes, I'm a bit obsessive...
