When you upgrade, there should be a option that lets you migrate your documents and settings etc to Windows 7. I've never done an upgrade (Clean installs only) but to be safe, save a backup, and copy your data to a safe place before you start perhaps?

upgrade is a built in option and sometimes even works!
but always better to backup and do a clean install you defeat the purpose of upgrading otherwise. like building a new house without tearing down the old one  IMAO  Spoiler below, highlight to read: A = arrogant
