)he upgrade procedure from %ndows 1* !*2 to %ndows &sta takes much longer
than a clean nstall of %ndows &sta. )he number of programs nstalled on the
s"stem to be upgraded/ as well as the relat(e performance of the s"stem are all
factors n the amount of tme t takes to complete the upgrade. 3@pect from 1 to 3
hours to complete the upgrade from %ndows 1* to %ndows &sta. $ot all s"stems
are the same/ nor does e(er"one run the same programs/ so the e@act amount of tme
