Canon DPP issue

[donaldamacmillan]

<p>Hi folks</p>

<p>I hope that this isn't too silly a question! I am just a wee bit unsure .... I've just had to have the hard-drive of my computer replaced but it's come back with Windows 7 operating system and not Windows Vista that i originally had .... Will my Canon DPP software run ok on Windows 7? I got DPP when i bought my 40D in 2008 and it's still the original version, i've never installed any upgrades ..... Should i expect my 'old' version of DPP to work just fine on my new hard-drive and operating system? </p>

<p>Hoping for much re-assurance please if possible .....</p>

<p>Kind regards,<br>

Donaldo</p>

<p>The only way to know for sure is to try it and see what happens. If the folks who did the Windows 7 install were doing it right, they should have run the Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if any existing software is incompatible with Windows 7, and passed that info on to you. Worst case? You might have to download the latest versiion of DPP from Canon...</p>

<p>DPP runs fine on Windows 7. That said, there's no reason to not download the latest updates to the program from Canon's website.</p>

<p>It will run just fine - at least it does on my machines. But as Rob says there's no reason to hold off oon updating the lastest (free) version.</p>
