Interesting post and replies Regarding "...or do I just return the
Win7 package?...." - return to where? Retail Win 7 is not available - your
source?
Also regarding "...However, when it checks compatibility issues,...." - the
OS does not check for "compatibility issues" - the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
does do so.
Did you run the advisor utility or actually tried installation from the Win
DVD and was the upgrade option available or grayed out?
