I dont know why your friend wants to keep all the installed software. But I would recommend to install a fresh copy of Windows 7. Upgrading will keep many junk files in Hardrive. If he wants to keep the documents in Vista, he can dual boot Windows 7 with Vista. As Softwares are concerned these can be installed again right?

I tried to upgrade windows 7 home premium but it takes forever to check compatibility. I tried 3 times and the last for over 30min but it is not working. Now, I turned off laptop, he is worried about his laptop as C: drive is the only drive apart from recovery drive.

the same way you had installed in your previous OS. Most Antivirus software will detect the OS as NEW and you can use the previous key.

If you are unable to activate, contact Antivirus Software Support, and tell them that you have re-installed your Operating System, they will help you activate it. [ you may have to share your purchase details with the CCE. ]

Note :

1. Uninstall the antivirus from old computer first, also do not go back and use the old antivirus with internet ON. This will get validated and blocked automatically as piracy.

2. Discussions related to piracy is not encouraged here, so be aware of it.
