that doesnot do any effect on a system it all depends on you one of my friend changed his os from xp to vista the day he purchased the laptop but taking my advice i would not guide you to do that because after that you are really gonna have problems with your drivers. what i really feel is to keep what you got originally i changed my os and now i am really feeling problems with my bluetooth even than i have already made a backup of the available drivers that we get with our notebook you can find it in c drive in a folder named swsetup is you really want to change the os than do this before you change it so that you should have all the drivers
