Here's a link from microsoft on your question.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/system-requirementsWindows XP debuted in 2001. Microsoft Discontinued the OEM's for Windows XP in 2008. So at a glance without your system specs. I'd say your computer is at least 5 years old. Rather or not you can install it "I'd say you probably shouldn't unless you meet the recommended(not required) system requirements.

I don't know the requirements for windows 7. I prefer xp over windows seven a lot of older programs won't run on seven and xp can also run DOS programs. If It has the min. memory and hard drive requirements are there it should work. I bought one of the computers I am not the seller. Mine works great with xp I have Win Seven on another computer but love XP for my older programs.

We now have an older PC from you. It came with W7 on it, and it works wonderfully. We are very pleased with it.

You can use Windows XP with SP3 (32 bit) or Windows Vista or higher(For 32 or 64 biit).I use it successfully on Windows 7 and Windows 8

I have Windows XP on my PC and Windows 7 on my laptop. Both work just great.

Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft so you will be experiencing problems in time. Most people are upgrading to Windows 7 or Windows 8+

Even though Windows no longer supports XP, you may still have protection, depending on the anti-virus you will utilize. Most of us have bitten the bullet and upgraded to windows 7 which works well on the T-500s. Hope this helps!

It came with windows 7. I emailed the company and told them the situation and they sent an XP hard drive free of charge and didn't want the Windows 7 back. They sent it next day delivery. They were very prompt and helpful.

My directions do not mention Windows 7 and I installed the software on an XP PC. I have had mine for awhile.

Hi Gerald, This PC comes with Windows 8. There's no other available model from this model series that comes with Windows 7.You may have to reformat your PC and install a Windows 7 on it.Thanks PCrush

You can have a 8 GB of RAM with a 64 bit system or 4 GB of RAM with the 32 Bit system and run windows 7 Just fine. You must do a new installation so purchase a (32 or 64 Bit) Full version of windows 7.If you right click on "My Computer" and choose the "Properties" you will see what you have, (64 or 32 Bit) Windows 7 will not allow you to upgrade from windows XP.

Mine is 32 bit. But beware that XP is no longer supported by Microsoft and they WILL FORCE you to change to windows 8... My advice is to change to Windows 7 asap.

Hi Barbara, this PC comes with Windows XP professional but its capable of upgrading to Windows 7

Please do. Micorsoft refuses to support XP. I have a laptop with Windows 8. It is worthless. I leave it home when I travel. In fact if I can't get someone to change it to Windows 7, I'm getting an Apple.

No clue about Windows *.x. I'm still running XP64 as there hasn't been any reason for me to upgrade...and when it do, it will likely be to Windows 7 and not the newer versions. If Diamond is still supporting this product, I would suggest checking their website for current driver information.

The computer I purchased has Windows XP Professional (it was likely leased to a company before being refurbished). The seller did not include a Windows re-installation disk so I asked for one and it was provided free of charge. I'm pretty sure you can upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 if you have enough memory. I would check on the Microsoft website to see if it meets the upgrade criteria since Windows XP support ends April 14, 2014.
