    Default Upgrading to Windows 7 - Few questions?

    I'm upgrading from Vista 32-bit Home Premium to 7 32-bit Home Premium, preferably by doing an in-place upgrade

    A. Will I need to set up access to my wireless networks and network drives/printers again?
    B. Will it cause any problems when I sync my iPod touch?
    C. How long would it take (an approximate figure, I'm on a dual core, 3Gb RAM)
    D. Will I be able to get Winamp 5.56 working on Windows 7?

    +REP to answers.

    I gotta spread mate, sorry.

    But thanks anyway for your advice. My "free" upgrade (HP = conmen) has been shipped and should hopefully be with me by the weekend (depending on the weather), and I shall upgrade then.

    Right, you know in the stage of installation where it says "Go Online to get the latest updates for installation"? Will that work over wi-fi, or will I need to plug into my router via Ethernet?

    EDIT: And its asking me to uninstall Catylist control center (NO WAY, THATS GRAPHICS, I refuse to uninstall), and iTunes. do I absolutely HAVE to uninstall them?

    Catalyst control centre is only the control centre, the display drivers will install or be kept untouched throughout the upgrade As for iTunes, I'm fairly certain reinstalling it afterwards won't be a bad thing. Wouldn't it with-hold some information anyway?

    iTunes still does that? I thought they allowed proper files that could actually be kept on the computer somewhere for all the enjoy :/

    I have all my iTunes music backed up. Are the iPod apps stored in the USERNAME>Music folder?

    Right, guys, I REALLY need to know this quick bit.

    Will the bits of the installation that require internet be able to use the onboard wi-fi, as we have no wired connection (or ethernet lead to plug it into the router).

    If it can't use WiFi it won't (if you're upgrading within Windows it'll work fo sho), just tell it to download them.

    iPod Apps are indeed backed up there.

    iTunes won't delete all your music if you remove it.
