As I was looking over the list of most recent downloads at the Microsoft Download Center I found a new version of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor dated 31 March 2010. I'm not sure what changes this new version has as compared to the previous one (no change log), but there is one thing for sure. This little app will definitely help you scanning your PC for potential compatibility issues and lets you know whether you can proceed with Windows 7 upgrade options.
So here is the steps anyway.
Once you start the check, it checks thoroughly for compatibility.
Once completed, a report will be generated notifying you if your PC meets the system requirements. If any known compatibility issues exist, it will guide you on what to do to before installing Windows 7 on your PC.
Though the Advisor runs on both Windows XP & Windows Vista, it can evaluate PCs running Windows 7 editions as well to see whether users can upgrade to a better SKU of the OS.
The download is only 8.3 MB and can be downloaded by using the following link.
