I can install windows 7 have my computer running windows xp sp3 currently?

I can install windows 7 have my computer running windows xp sp3 currently?  I am aware that vista and 7 use a lot more ram or memory so I don't know if my cpu under xp can run windows 7.

Yes, it is possible to install Win7 on a Windows XP computer. Start here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-xp-to-windows-7

However, Windows Update has nothing to with the upgrade of Windows. Please post future questions about the upgrade in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

    I have windows vista and im wondering if I can install windows 10. I looked at a few places, and they say I need 7, 8 or 8.1. I would like to know please and thank you.

    Hello

    Vista is not an upgraded operating system, so you would need to install the Windows preview 10 then
    you would be able to upgrade that to 10 Windows RTM (become a Windows 10 insider).

  • HP ENVY 700-000z Desktop PC with 8 and the need to know if I can install Windows 7

    Just bought HP ENVY 700-000z Desktop PC equipped with 8 and need to know if I can install Windows 7 on this computer without problem.  My work does not allow the use of Windows 8.  If I can install Windows 7, what version of operating system do I need to buy to do a clean install.

    If I understand correctly, I could order the Windows 8 Pro, who has right to demotion and then install Windows

    7 pro, I have then I should be able to get the drivers, I need HP is correct.

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You should ENABLE 'Secure Boot' and maybe 'Legacy Support' in the 'BIOS Setup boot secured' on the settings page below, before you try to install Windows 7;

    or

    In addition, as the hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" in the start menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive.

    Most of the Windows 7 drivers from the drivers of HP Pavilion p7-1299 c desktop PC page should work on your desktop HP ENVY 700 - 000z CTO. Both models use a variant of the motherboard HP Jasmine. If you have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post the "Hardware ID" Device Manager for devices as shown in the example below.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • I can install Windows 7 64-bit disk external eSATA SSD as my OS boot?

    I would like to install on in-house, but I also need to run RAID disks for my data for redundancy.  I want to we SSD for my OS drive for obvious reasons (speed).  But the TRIM command to clean up the SSD is not functional through RAID controllers.  I wonder if Windows 7 is set up and operate from an eSATA drive?  My BIOS doesn't let me choose eSATA as a boot drive, but I've seen messages that mention the operating system Windows do not allow you to install on external drives.  I understand also is the eSATA 3 Gb/s, but I wonder if there are differences in bandwidth external case?

    Or maybe the native command of Windows 7 ATA-TRIM works through RAID controllers?

    Otherwise, I could have all the discs for the IDE installation, and then use Windows software RAID controller, but I believe that would considerably slow down my data disks, which is far from ideal as.

    Any clarity on this would be appreciated.  I don't want to go down a path of $700 and a lot of time if the result is not good.

    Hi Jeff_Elucidate,

    You can install Windows 7 on external hard drive ESATA. Plugin from the player to your computer, go to the BIOS and make sure the ESATA drive is set as the default device to start. And during the installation of Windows 7 to install the necessary drivers and you must have your Windows 7 installed on drive ESATA.

  • need help to get rid of xp so I can install windows 7

    I have download kill disk and he burned on a cd and started on the cd, but he has done notheing. I'm trying to reformat the hard drive, so I can install windows 7 is there a tool for command line, I can use instead

    You can do so during the installation of Windows 7.  Moving from XP to Windows 7, you can only do a "custom" installation

    Note

    Formatting your hard drive during the installation of Windows 7 is not necessary. If you wish to format your hard drive, and you use a Windows 7 upgrade version, do not use a program from another software manufacturer to reformat your hard drive before installing Windows 7. Instead, start your PC using the Windows 7 upgrade installation disc or a USB flash drive, click Custom (Advanced) and then click drive options (Advanced).

    Make sure that your hardware can support Windows7 by running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    Make sure that you have downloaded Windows 7 need drivers for your hardware.

    Make sure that you have backed up your files and other data that you can restore everything after installing Windows 7.  You can use Windows Easy Transfer.  If so, make sure that get you from the link below.

    Make sure you have all the installation media (CD/DVD or Installer files) for all applications that you want to reinstall once Windows 7 has been installed downloaded.

    If you purchased Windows 8.1 or Windows 8, you can download and install Windows from this page using only your product key. You will have the option to install Windows now, later, or using media with an ISO file.

    Go to the Microsoft page for upgrading to Windows 8 with a product key, then click on the button 'install Windows 8' light blue.

    Once ISO finished download, the installation program will take several minutes to check download and unzip the installation files. When you are prompted to choose an installation option, choose "install by creating media".

    If you decide that the installer to create a support of USB flash drive, or save the ISO file.

    If you choose the ISO, the ISO file (Windows.iso) will be saved on your PC and you will be able to burn to DVD. Once done, you can actually go back and create the media to a USB flash drive as well. Just click on the link "Windows Installer" on your Windows desktop. You will be prompted to choose your option to install again. Choose "Install by creating media" again, insert a 4 GB or more large USB flash drive, then select flash memory reader. If you have problems creating USB flash support.
