Adam,
    I would consult archives (as of late) the list for the exact steps 
necessary to upgrade from 6.x to 7-PRE. It's a fairly painless process 
if done correctly, but it will take a while to complete, depending on 
what all you have installed on your laptop ports wise.
    Best of luck,
-Garrett
