Microsoft: Windows 7 upgrade can take nearly a day (Updated x2) - Ars TechnicaThe biggest thing that stands out about this chart is the very broad range of the upgrade time: from 30 minutes to 1,220 minutes. That second extreme is not a typo: Microsoft really did time an upgrade that took 20 hours and 20 minutes. That's with 650GB of data, 40 applications, on mid-end hardware, and during a 32-bit upgrade. We don't even want to know how long it would take if Microsoft had bothered doing the same test with low-end hardware.
those of you hoping to do an "upgrade" directly from an install of XP or Vista. should look around for information on upgrade times.

you may well be better off, just doing a clean install
your meaning do a clean install with yor vista disk and then windows 7 upgrade to save time.
no i mean do an install from the Windows 7 disk. choosing to fdisc(remove all partitions) and reformat the hdd. though they say " buy and upgrade", all they mean is, you already have a ligit version of a previous WINDOWS. so you get a copy of the new one cheap.
as far as i am aware, windows 7, takes no longer to install than Vista. if you install on a CLEAN drive. upgrading a current install, is what takes the time.
