Windows 7: Endless reboots cause problems for users

Following on from the worldwide rollout of Microsoft’s newest operating system, Windows 7, it has been reported that many users are suffering from problems, relating to endless automatic reboots during the upgrade process.

As reported from Computer World, the problem is occuring during the upgrade process from Windows Vista to Windows 7. According to messages on the official support boards, some problems cause the Windows 7 installation to ‘hang’ two-thirds through the upgrade.

Others have reported that they have received messages which states that their upgrade had been unsuccessful and that Vista would be restored.

It is thought that Microsoft are aware of the problem as one engineer has labelled the issue as an ‘isolated problem’. Let us know if you have been experiencing similar problems during your upgrade.
