I have a 2010 imac i7 27" which is my Studio computer (I'm a musician, voice over artist) and I want to upgrade already but I don't want to have to reinstall all the software I use (Logic Pro, iLife, plugins, etc etc..) does the upgrade make it easy? is there a way around this?

thank you, it's the first time I'm upgrading, most of the time I use the same OS until I get a new mac which already comes loaded with the latest.

The help will be greatly appreciated. :eek:

That's the default nature of the installer, to upgrade but preserve your exisitng data and programs. Just purchase the Lion upgrade and let it tun, your stuff will remain intact.
