AFAIK, the Mint 6 to Mint 7 upgrade package is not out yet. If you want to upgrade now, the only way is a fresh install.

I don't have a Dell laptop, but I could never get decent sound on my Dell desktop with the mplayer in Mint 6. Mint 7 sound works great.

If space permitting, why not just set up another partition and do a fresh install of Mint7? That way you can kick the tires on the H/W and still keep the "better half" happy if things go badly with Mint7.

Just a thought...
