I am currently running Windows Vista HP SP2, iTunes 7.7.1 and will upgrade to Win7 HP in the next day or so. The upgrade advisor recommends uninstalling iTunes, and re-install after the upgrade is complete. No problem, except the iTunes is in support of my wife's iPod, and I'd like to make sure all of her settings remain intact. Which files should I save/backup (just the ones in the Music/iTunes folder)? Thanks for the assistance.

Make sure all the songs are consolidated into that folder though. I think its in the preferences to do that.

I just copied that folder. When I reinstalled Win7 (from RC to retail), I installed iTunes and copied over the folder from the backup. All my albums showed up again in iTunes, I didn't have to do anything extra. But make sure all the songs are in the folder you're copying.
