We don't have enough information about your machine to give you sensible advice about running Windows 7 as an operating system with your present components.
Most machines built in the past 2 years, with single core CPU and at least 1gb Ram, or duo core CPU and 2gb ram are probably capable of running it smoothly. and Windows 7 seems to be performing pretty well with finding drivers for hardware. There are experienced folks who have successfully installed Windows 7 on much more limited machines. But for "general use" you should follow the Vista Ready or Windows 7 ready guidelines offered by Microsoft. If you would like to follow up your question to gather additional information, please post a fresh topic over in our Microsoft Windows Forum, where we would ordinarily provide such help. This Meet and Greet Forum is for introductions and hello's and is not well suited to getting into detailed technical issues. Best Regards |

You found a good forum here. I'm sure someone will be able to answer your question or throw some light on Windows 7. QUOTE I surrendered, and returned to the best that MS has yet produced, XP! I seem to remember people saying the same thing about Windows 2000 when XP came out Seems to me that MS can't win but I suppose they bring many of their criticisms on themselves. Enjoy the forum Satchfan |

Thanks folk; advice taken. I will re-post on the appropriate thread; now where is that Belarc Advisor? It should be added that I am the only one among friends and family who is hooked on PC software and hardware but too often the technical jargon beats me!
