Can I step ahead and update to Windows 7 back my recovery disk arrives?

I have a Gateway laptop beside Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. When I bought it, they told me to make a recovery disk using 3 blank DVDs beforehand upgrading to Windows 7. I kept getting an error code every time I tried to make the recovery disk, so I put it bad. I finally got my Windows 7 upgrade utensils and tried to make a recovery disk again and get the same error. I call Customer Service and they're sending me a factory recovery disk within 3-8 business days.
My quiz is, will that disk be what I was trying to turn those 3 DVDs into? So would it be sheltered to go ahead and upgrade to Win7 immediately before that disk arrives?
No do not do that. if you install window 7 before you bring back your disk you wont have the drives and you ll involve to install the recovery anyway.
Most of those recovery disks are just made and never used again. Copy or reclaim your premium programs to a flash drive or cd then dont verbs about it. I dont even subsidise my things up anymore, just free your best music and photos then progress ahead. Windows7 is good but not really much different than the others so dont be too excited. Whether you loaf or not wont probably make much difference.
"> Call gateway support. You rewarded for it, get them to fix it for you. It might blankness you're ability to find support if you do this, make them email you next to this answer (use a gmail account, or some other online account). Good luck!
Well i would skulk for the disk because if you install windows 7 and it does not work the adjectives of your files will be gone usually. But just to be on the locked side i would wait. Source(s): skill, warning lables, and i know someone who did not own the disk and they lost all their files
    I would loaf, as if something goes wrong near the upgrade, and there own been a few interrogate in this forum almost the same, and they are gone without a workable laptop as Vista is gone and they hold an error on the 7 upgrade? So it would be wise to continue so if something goes wrong you can at lowest possible rollback to Vista with the recovery discs. Have you run the 7 upgrade counsellor to see if you laptop is compliant both software and hardware to a 64 bit OS? You should be going to 7 Home premium for example.
