Hello,
When I go to my user roles I do not see Administrator role on two sites I just upgraded from D6.
I do see this role created by default in brand new D7 sites.

webchickThis is actually by design. The upgrade path has no way of knowing what your existing administrator role is, if any. There's a setting at admin/config/people/accounts to specify which role to apply the "administrator" behaviour to manually.

giorgio79 CreditAttribution: giorgio79 commentedThanks webchick. Just created a new administrator account, and specified at the page you mention that it should be treated as the admin role. One issue is that none of the perms were enabled, so it would be nice to enable all permissions by default, or if we would have a "check all" at the top of that huge permissions table, although I guess this is a ux issue... :)
