Even then, it's not unheard of that the manufacturer does not support an OS for an OS not shipped with the computer, but as you've found out the good news is that HP has full support of the applications for those who upgraded, not all manufacturers do that, I give them a thumbs up for that.

No, that's not accurate, the HP update doesn't always give you what you needed, look here on the forums for Jolly Wombat's All in One installer, it works great for desktops.

pologuy said: Hey, Thanks for the reply. Is there any order you would suggest? Install Windows 7 upgrade, do windows update, do HP update, and then run the AIO installer? Or? :)

dude...

please, choose a thread and stick with it, you've asked the same think in multiple threads.

Install Win7 clean
Install all your drivers and MS updates
Install the AIO updater
Install any patches from HP that came after the AIO updater.

Install your applications that are not HP provided

pologuy said: Hmmm, thanks! But I looked over all most posts and did not find where I posted this exact same question, or anything close to it.... Thanks again!

It's not that you're asking exactly the same question, but you've chimed in on multiple threads in regards to upgrades to Win7, rather then bouncing around all over the place, just trust those who have come before and have posted great advice, and run with it..I promise, it's not as hard as many people think!
