Well Josh, completed the upgrade.

Grabbed my old Acronis 2011 and created an image of my Vista Business 32bit.

Popped in the Win7Pro 32 bit disk and to make a long story short, took about three hours to do an in-place upgrade. Win7 said I needed to uninstall Nero 6, that was about the only significant warning.

Next day took probably three more hours for updates and adding SP1.

Everything went great. Kept my programs, desktop icons, nothing from Vista was messed up that I've found.

Even a dialup connection to a server at work performed just like it use to, Ethernet and wireless still running.

Did a search to figure out how to get the QuickLaunch back and moved to the left where it was.

Only odd thing was the wannacry patch from March was not listed in the upgrades in control panel. Went to MSFT and grabbed it and it installed and rebooted computer and is in update list now. Whether it was part of another update, I don't know.

Kept my Avast and added Microsoft Security Essentials for the hell of it for now.

Looks like I have a couple more years now to see if MSFT dumps their current Tiles for Children operating systems....
