MATLAB version upgradation

we are using MATLAB 6.1 We use simulink & stateflow for modelling. we have created MATLAB models in 6.1. will it run on MATLAB 2006b/2010b/2011a.

We are also planning to upgrade OS. currently we are working on XP, now we are planning to shift to windows7. Is there any problem in we have to face in shifting to higher version

MATLAB 6.1 is not supported under Windows 7, and will probably not work much at all. You might be able to get it to work under one of the programs that emulates an older Windows version.

There have been enough changes since MATLAB 6.1 that I would expect that you will not be able to directly use models produced in that version in R2010b. The changes might not be large, but in some cases functionality was removed and there is no longer any mechanism to handle some of the old blocks.

I suggest you experiment before you commit to the change.

I would recommend running slupdate (http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/simulink/slref/slupdate.html) on your models in the newer installations so that any deprecated blocks may be automatically replaced with new ones.

Our models created in Matlab6.1 are running perfectly on MATLAB 2010b, 2011a and 2011b. Some minor changes required in some models.

Matlab 6.1 & 2006b is also working on windows7. But Mathworks did not provide any support for these matlab version on windows7 in case we have any problem.

Any ways Thanks to both of you for your suggestions & guidence
