I wouldn't call it dangerous, but always perform a clean install as opposed to upgrading. Take a list down of EVERYTHING you have installed, and re-download it after installing. Backup everything you have on an external HD/Flashdrive/SD card/name it.. Pictures, music, games, settings for certain things, pr0n

You really have no clue about this stuff do you? First it was the mics and drum question which seems like basic knowledge someone looking to do this for a living should know, now it's whether you should back up your files before making an Operating System change.
Ask your self this simple question since you are supposedly in the middle of recording several bands - will they be happy if during your upgrade it fails and you can't get back to work in a matter of a few hours or a day at the most?
Seems you ask questions that just make some people go huh! Really? Huh!
I don't record bands at all - I just record my own stuff as a solo musician and it would piss me off if I could not get my complete system as it was in a matter of a day and I only answer to myself.
Do yourself a favor and get a good backup plan in place prior to doing any significant change to your system.
By the way - Windows 7 is a super stable platform for recording - I use Sonar PE x64 on my Windows 7 x64 build and it's rock solid, however like most things in life - your mileage may vary.

Quick thread hi-jack.
Is it worth the windows 7 upgrade?
Re-building one of my recording computers at the moment that has only ever run xp and was wondering if i should just go the whole nine and put 7 on it?
I run Vista on my current recording pc and i don't mind it all.
Just wondering if 7 has any noticeable benefits over Vista and XP.
cheers,
and sorry about the thread hi-jack.

Why is it better than vista?
Always heard it was, never understood why.
And too damn lazy to research(slack I know, but I've never really needed to know until now)
DAW of choice is Reaper

It's pretty dumb to not have all your important files backed up regardless of whether you are making an OS change or not. Most hard drives eventually fail.
