windows 7 is NOT compatable to upgrade from xp (it says so right on the box)

you have to reformat the drive its on and do a clean fresh install

windows 7 has no issues with where you load things and will be fine to use all the default loading places software is sset up for, where needed win7 will automaticly create special folders and install locations. (its pretty much a "automaticly do it all for you" OS)

win7 64bit with 4GB ram and 460 GTX here and sh5 installed by simply letting it install normally (you will need to install DX9.0c AND the DX stuff that comes with the game

EDIT: to clarify, IIRC you can upgrade from XP or ME to Vista and you can go from a non upgrade version of Vista to Win7 but you CANT upgrade from XP or ME to Vista and then go from an upgraded version of Vista to Win7
