Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a Dell Dimension 5150?

My computer is several years old and came with Windows XP. Is it possible to install Windows 7? What happens to all my files, etc, if I did?

Thank you.

You will need to run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It will inform you whether or not you can run Windows 7.

In regards to your personal files, they must be saved on a device external or other removable media. This is because you can not 'upgrade' itself from Xp to Windows 7. It requires a clean install which means that all data on the hard disk is deleted during the installation of 7...

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

    Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 computer? I am currently using windows XP.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    Do you really think on installing Windows 7 over several years old Satellite Pro 6100?

    In my opinion, it won't work because it is too old and not fast enough. Newer operating system that is supported by Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for good old classic.

    So just to be satisfied with Windows XP, it's a good choice for older computers! :)

    Hello

    Yes, it is possible to install Win 7 on this laptop.
    If drivers Win 7 are not released on the European driver Toshiba page, then you will need to collect the drivers of your own hands.

  • Satellite L650-14F - it is possible to install Windows XP

    Hello and sorry for my language.

    It is possible to install Windows XP on this laptop?
    I have the Satellite L650-14F and I want to install XP 64. but the problem is, with the drivers. are they compatible?

    Help, please
    Thank you

    Yes, you can install Win xp on this laptop, but you will need to use the drivers for Win XP 64-bit.

    European driver Toshiba page provides accurate drivers for 32it version, so you have to collect drivers 64-bit with your own hands...

    But to be honest; I do not recommend using Win XP 64 bit... either you choose 32 bit or Win 7 64 bit.

    Win XP 64 bit was not so popular as the 32-bit version and most of the applications and the software is compatible with the 32-bit version.

    Installation of Windows Xp from a usb key involves a lot more than simply copy the files from one windows on a USB disk. It is much more difficult than don't imagine most (but not impossible). I did it a few times. Read the instructions on the two links below. The first link below is your best bet. You are not likely to do things immediately. It's ok, we are here...

  • It is possible to install windows XP in Windows 8 Pro

    It is possible to install Windows XP in Windows 8 Pro to work together. If so, how?

    You would have a better chance, installation of Windows 7. Many modern systems that are preinstalled with Windows 8 do not support Windows XP. Its too old. There is probably no support driver is (you can always try your luck and see your computer manufacturer web site).

    If you upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 8, your system would be of course compatible Windows XP. In this case, you will need to redo the installation by installing Windows XP first, then Windows 8 after.

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on my Satellite M40X?

    Hello

    I tried to update on Windows 7. Now, I'm looking for a driver for audio, network and massstorage. It is generally possible to install win7?

    Thank you

    I can imagine that the Win7 installation is possible. Problem is that this old machine is not supported for Win7 but it is supported for Vista. If I m remembering so many drivers, tools and utilities for Vista can be used with Win7. You just need to test.

    I recommend you do clean install of Win7. After dong this start to install the Vista drivers. Also check Windows update. Many riders will find themselves automatically.

  • Is it possible to install windows XP on Equium L40-156

    Hi, I want to install windows XP on my laptop. Is it possible to do? and where can I get drivers?

    Hello

    Of course, it is possible to install XP on this laptop.
    I checked the official website of Toshiba and found the Equium L40-156 belongs to the series of PSL49!
    This serial number is important for Xp compatible drivers from the European pilot of Toshiba page.

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    On this page you can find a driver XP for you laptop package!

    The update of the BIOS is very important. If you want to use XP on this laptop Vista you must update the BIOS to version XP!
    Some features of Toshiba as FN keys could not work without the good BIOS!

    Best regards

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on external HARD disk

    That is the problem.

    A friend with a Toshiba laptop (do not know the model right, but probably with win7 - 6 month old machine) has a problem with the internal hard drive.
    He crashed and his does not work.

    It has the toshiba recovery CD and an external hard drive.
    Is it possible for him to install win 7 on the external hard drive?

    (the easy medium woyld be buying a new in-house but for the next 2 months because of his work that it is impossible).

    Hello

    I don t think that it would be possible to install the Windows 7 external HARD disk.
    You should replace the internal HARD disk and should put the new HARD drive in the laptop.
    Then you should be able to install Windows 7 on the new HARD disc.

    Good luck

  • Is it possible to install Windows XP in Windows 7?

    My business needs to accommodate the seller software that works with Windows XP. My question is: is it possible to install XP (from original system disks) after installing Windows 7? I get a critical error message.

    Thanks for any help.

    I guess that your company is too small to have a COMPUTER service, computer or IT consultant - that would normally deal with such a question.

    Depending on the hardware you have and on the version of Windows 7 that has been installed, you can proceed as follows:

    1 reinstall XP - assuming you have the appropriate for XP licenses and also have access to XP drivers for the hardware
