I currently run Windows Vista 64bit on a desktop, which I intend to upgrade to Windows 7 with the family pack. However I'm concerned I won't keep the 64bit OS when Windows 7 is installed. Does anyone know the family pack Windows 7 would install the 64 bit OS?
Also, I'm a bit concerned about upgrading to Win 7 since some Windows Vista updates referring to .NET are not installing properly. I've spent a couple hours trying to uninstall and reinstall .NET components and get the updates to install unsuccessfully. Would there be issues with .NET framework when upgrading to Windows 7 if the below updates won't install?
- Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 SP 1 and .NET framework 3.5 family update (KB951847)
- Security update for Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 SP1 on Windows Vista (KB 2416473)
- Security update for Microsoft .NET framework 3.5, Windows Vista SP1 (KB2416469)
I'm wondering if it's worth spending more hours trying to fix the .NET framework within Vista or if I should go ahead with a Windows 7 upgrade anyway w/o fixing it.
