Do you think I can run windows 7 beta? -

Ok so i have this old computer that I want to try Windows 7 beta on. Here are the system specs: 20GB HDD, 400 MB ram, Windows Xp SP2, Intel Celeron 700 Mhz. Now I know what the minimum requirements for Windows 7 are so I am wondering if I will be able to still run Windows 7 on this machine even if its a little slow. I don t have any other computer I can test it on.

I am sorry to say, but no. The minimum specs required is 1 gb of RAM, 1 Ghz (Not Mhz). But you can try it, but make sure you do a clean install. There s nothing wrong in trying right? Oh and BACKUP YOUR FILES. Trust me.

Hard drive is fine, ram is waay to low, but RAM is cheap, so you can easily upgrade that. You need to have Vista to think about windows 7 beta, so you will have to buy that if you do not have it, and the processor sucks. So no. The processor is extremely slow, and if you buy a new one, you will have to change the motherboard, and the RAM, at which point, you are almost building a new computer.

you have barely enough ram to run XP (1Gb) recommended CPU to slow, you can try but if it freezes up don t say you weren t warned. How much disc space required to run windows 7??

It might run very slow if you install it on that computer.

apparently windows 7 looks like a linux distribution... why not try kubuntu or something?

No. One notable clue is the RAM, it MUST be higher. 2 GB or so. Regards, Dane
