PE 4 and windows 7

[k2np818]

I have PE 4 and am thinking about upgrading to Windows 7. Does PE 4 work under windows 7 or do I have to go to the lastest release of PE 8?
Has anyone completed the upgrade to windows 7? If so I would like to know your lessons learned before I venture with windows 7.

Thanks:
Ken

When you say "upgraded", do you mean upgraded your current computer or bought a new one?

Upgrading from Vista is a no-brainer. From XP, it means re-installing the whole operating system -- which is a bit more work, since you're encouraged to back up all your data first.

But if you're buying a new computer, you should find Windows 7 Microsoft's best Os yet!

Though, of course, it is less than a year old. So, even though the basic operating system is pretty rock solid, the third-party driver providers are still trying to get it together. So some people have had problems running intensive 32-bit programs (like Premiere Elements) on the 64-bit version of Windows 7.

But others have had no problems at all. (Even for those who do, it's likely to be less of a problem as time goes on.)

I'm running PE 4 on Windows 7 (64 bit Enterprise Edition) and haven't had any problems. I've got it on a laptop with an i7 processor and 4 GB of memory.
