I began using Windows 7 Professional on my own office (AC client) computer as soon as it was released, since I was having so many problems with Vista. AC 4.073 was crashing frequently when I was reviewing or signing off Imported Items. I was told this was due to a conflict with Acrobat Reader 9, but I always suspected it was Vista, since on other computers running XP, AC was not crashing. The crashes have stopped after the Win 7 upgrade.
I went on to upgrade the "main computer" with the AC databases a few days ago, with no problems so far. As KenP reports, I had to reinstall everything, since it was upgraded from Win XP. I backed all my files & folders on an external HD, and reinstalled AC after Win 7 was installed, and recreated all the records by using "Restore" in the AC folder, and the latest .enc file created by Amazing Backup before the upgrade. It took all day.
Setting up sharing for the AC databases is more challenging than on XP, but I was able to slog through using the help files. This is better than I did with Vista, which I could never get to share files reliably.
In the last few days, I haven't had any problems with the Win 7 "main computer"; most of the office client computers are still running Windows XP, and can log onto the Win 7 computer without a problem.
One extra for Windows 7 Pro that may be useful is the new Windows Backup. It is possible to do a scheduled back up to either an internal or external HD connected to the computer, or a networked storage drive (NAS). It will backup the User account files & folders AND also create an image file of the whole system drive. I am hoping this will be extra assurance, since it should be possible to restore the whole system and all files to a new HD in case of a catastrophic HD failure.
