Ermy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 The only part of advice I can give is; fork out for the better option it's gonna be much more reliable, and don't ever system restore from that HP section all it'll do is mess up your laptop, I did the same with my new computer and it had to get repaired after being bought 2 weeks earlier. This might help you for checking all your hardware and software:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/system-requirements.aspx?applyTTTracking=true Download the upgrade advisor and it'll tell you what's what Those with a little bit of knowledge are more dangerous than those with none.

champion Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 A couple months ago I went through the same situation as you're going through now. Downloaded W7 from the same place, too. I recommend just going with the 32-bit. The process of OS-conversion had a few hiccups, but overall the actual transition wasn't too bad. Windows 7 works fine. Just back up whatever you'll want to keep like music and pictures on a flash drive or two. If you use a wireless adapter, try to make sure it's Windows 7 compatible.

Sbrideau Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Yeah and with 32bit it will be more performant, seeing the amount of RAM you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
