Future Shop may be able to get Windows 7 on your machine through a clean install and also get your HP applications on there. I can't say for certain without trying it on your model of computer and knowing all the applications that come with it. Usually though, there are at least a few included applications that are not Windows 7 compatible, and they may or may not have an update or upgrade you can get to make them compatible.
Thanks for the question tmcmillan
Yes, you would have to purchase 4 copies of the upgrade. Microsoft's EULA (end user license agreement) states that a single product key may only be used at one time per machine.
Future Shop currently has a promotion where an In Home Tech will come to your house and do the work for you, on 3 machines. You would be required to go into the store, purchase the service and the software (Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack), and setup an apoointment. I would recommend this service as it covers 3 out of you 4 machines. It costs $399.99, which includes the above software. A great value for having a certified technician come to your house and complete the work if you ask me. You can call your local store or connect to one of the ConnectPro Online Support Experts by clicking below for further information.
After that you would be required to upgrade the last machine. The software is listed here at $129.99
I hope that answers your questions, feel free to reply or elaborate if you have any other concerns.

M$ also sells a "Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack Virtual Upgrade - English" for $200 that you can buy for upgrading 3 machines to Windows 7. I'm thinking about that for myself. Win 7 is good at sharing when on multiple machines.
Isn't that alread indicated in my reply to the original post ? With the same link as you have provided ?
