If your computer has been in use for less than 5 years, the answer is yes. Microsoft pointed out in the statement that the minimum configuration requirements for Windows 7 are as follows: 1GHz processor, 16GB disk space, 1GB memory.

However, after testing by multiple testers, Windows 7 configuration specifications can be much lower than the above requirements.

However, what I want to point out here is that if you want to get the perfect Windows 7 experience, then it is best to configure a computer that runs faster. And if you want to get the perfect Windows 7 experience, then I recommend that your Windows 7 configuration minimum requirements for dual-core CPU and 2GB of memory.

Previously, I had encountered video driver incompatibility problems on some laptops. Later, even if I changed the operating system to Windows 7, the video still runs poorly. However, I'm sure that if your applications and hardware are compatible with Vista, they will certainly run on Windows 7 and even run better.

2. After performing the Windows 7 upgrade, can the current hardware performance be better?

Even though Windows 7 can run successfully on your current computer, the old hardware means that you can't fully utilize the best performance of the new system. This is the same fact. For example, Windows 7 can support multiple touch screen technologies, and if you want to experience this feature, you must have a multi-touch display.

In addition, Windows 7 is Microsoft's first operating system with SSDs native enhancements.

3, how to identify whether the computer can run "XP mode", "XP mode" is necessary for users?

"XP Mode" is a powerful feature in Windows 7 Professional and higher operating systems that allows users to run Windows XP applications in a virtual machine with Windows 7.

"XP Mode" relies on Windows virtual PCs, which not only have greater memory and CPU requirements, but also require hardware virtualization processor capabilities. Therefore, if you want to run an application that is "customized for

Windows XP", you must have good virtual machine support. And if you are a regular user and have no specific requirements, then "XP mode" is not necessary.

Is the 4, 64-bit era coming? How can I detect if my computer can support 64-bit?

Undoubtedly, the performance of a 64-bit operating system is higher than that of a 32-bit system. External analysts pointed out that Windows 7 is likely to be the last 32-bit operating system provided by Microsoft.

If you perform tasks that make your computer's memory footprint exceed 3GB, then consider upgrading 64-bit Windows 7. In general, a 32-bit operating system is sufficient for users who only use office suites and surf the web.

But if you run a virtual machine, edit HD video, and manipulate 12MP raw images, then you'd better switch to a 64-bit operating system. In addition, the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor can help you test if your CPU can support 64-bit operating systems.

5. If you use Windows 7 with your old computer, is it a waste of money?

The upgrade for Windows 7 Professional requires $200, while the Windows 7 Home Hardcover upgrade costs $120. Undoubtedly, this price is high, but if you buy a brand new PC, you can experience a high-performance operating experience.

Currently, a new low-end laptop can be purchased for $330, and a high-end configuration computer for your satisfaction can be purchased for $800. From this point of view, it is very cost-effective to buy a new computer with a pre-installed $120 or $200 Windows 7.

Nowadays, the hardware configuration of the computer has also been comprehensively improved, including HDMI, Blu-ray, 802.11n and LED backlights. Therefore, it is very cost-effective to buy a brand new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed. However, if your current computer is relatively new and compatible with Windows 7, then an upgrade to Windows 7 is also a must.

6, the graphics card is not compatible with Windows 7

I just bought a graphics card, after the computer is installed, I will continue to call me to repair, after repairing, then restart the computer, this phenomenon also occurs, after I The graphics card is removed and everything is fine. After switching back to Windows XP, the graphics card is installed, and everything is running normally.

It should be a driver problem. It is recommended to uninstall the driver before installing a new driver. If you don't know what driver to install, you can use the driver wizard to update it.

Some time ago, in order to install Windows 7, I changed the platform, but the font is not clear after installing Windows 7, no matter the desktop or IE browser, it is the same color, fuzzy, resolution.

With the XP system is normal and clear, in Windows7 with some browser fonts clearly with the system comes with it, I do not know if it is my monitor problem, or 4850 is the problem?

This issue may be caused by incorrect ATI graphics drivers or the Windows desktop resolution is not adjusted to the monitor's optimal resolution. Try updating the driver and try it out.
