I would like to know what preparation is is taken when upgrading a Windows OS ? In other words do you have to reinstall all your software again ? How do you make the upgrade easier ?

Hello There,
not to disappoint you, but upgrading isn't a good idea. It's better to jusr install the new OS on top of the old one, it'll get rid of all your programs, files etc., but it makes things much easier
make sure you backup all of your files!!!!
Hope i helped

Generally it "just works" and keeps all your stuff, but its a good idea to run the vista upgrade advisor (if you are upgrading from xp) to see if your system has any software or hardware which has known problems. As always, BACK UP as stuff can go wrong.
Some programs may need reinstalling but on the whole, they should be fine.
