In lieu of anyone who has installed it on an Inspiron 6000, that may be his
best bet. W7UA doesn't lie (a program can't lie
).
I have found on most machines that I have used it, the results may not be
100% accurate, but it does give a good idea of what you have
installed/attached that may have a problem with an upgrade. I found that
there were more programs and hardware listed as "marginally" or "not
compatible" that worked fine than any that were listed as OK that didn't.
Since Vista is running fine on it without a problem, there probably won't be
any problems after the upgrade. That's no guarantee; just my opinion based
on the Vista PC's I've upgraded.
