Microsoft Security Essentials does not run on Windows 8 machines, which have its own security subsystem. Windows 8 is capable of preventing an infected USB flash memory from compromising the system during the boot process. Windows defender in Windows 8 will take over the role of virus protection. So, it is mandatory to uninstall the Microsoft Security Essentials before upgrading Windows 7.
