5 hours I think
 I'm making another live backup as I type this just in case, so may be about another hour before I can install it

Upgrade, UPGRADE!!!
I do hope you mean "Clean Install" ...  As for the rest of our readers, a real upgrade can take some time to finish. I would do my best to dissuade you from doing any upgrade of any OS and strongly suggest you do a clean install. Not my PC though, is it. How did he get a post delivery on a Sunday.

Yeah, it's a clean install don't worry
(technically post came yesterday, but I was away at a wedding so only got it today )Install took 15-20 mins... remembering that I need Vista drivers for my wireless network card (and not having a cable long enough) took another 20 mins of searching

LoL ... can't beat cable direct link. Come to think on it, I ain't installed anything for my BT Router/WiFi Modem ... Vista did pop up with an error one day, turned out BT we working on the line somewhere and cut me off for 20 mins.
What version you got Ian ?

Its the Ultimate Version, I won it through a Microsoft developers contest so I've been quite lucky as I wouldn't have bought this for a year or so had I not won it. I'm just patching and installing essentials at the moment, but I look forward to seeing the graphical effects once my drivers are updated.
