It's not difficult to backup files to an external drive and do a fresh install. Yes, it will take time if you have a lot of programs that need to be reinstalled. But it's a small price to pay in time for a system that will ultimately run faster with fewer problems down the road. I tell people who can upgrade from Vista to do a fresh install of Win 7.
