    I have a Gateway laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. When I bought it, they told me to make a recovery disk using 3 blank DVDs before upgrading to Windows 7. I kept getting an error code every time I tried to make the recovery disk, so I put it off. I finally got my Windows 7 upgrade kit and tried to make a recovery disk again and got the same error. I called Customer Service and they're sending me a factory recovery disk within 3-8 business days.
    My question is, will that disk be what I was trying to turn those 3 DVDs into? So would it be safe to go ahead and upgrade to Win7 now before that disk arrives?

    If they are sending you a vista recovery disk I don't see why you can't just go ahead and upgrade.
