The minimum requirement for Win 7 64 bit is 1GB. Although it's really slow running on 1. My work computer runs on 2GB, and I'm running win 7 64 bit.

Windows 7 32 bit Will be blind to any more than 4 gigs of ram. Won't hurt it but it will not use it and therefor a waste.

You don't need a pair of these unless you want more RAM memory. 2 gigs is about the minimum to run something like Windows 7.

From Vista (32 bit) you should be able to upgrade and everything will transfer over. Your system should meet all the minimum requirements for Win 7 if it was running Vista, check this page http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/system-requirements to make sure. If you buy this and find it won't upgrade, you won't totally lose the value of buying Windows 7 as you can also do a 'clean' install that would require you to reinstall Office and others. However, you should backup your important files before you upgrade, just to be safe.

Hi I have bought four of these old office machines. typically they were XP systems. Its pretty easy and available to get an old XP complete restore disc. The machines will run Windows 7 if you upgrade the flash memory to at lease 2GB. 4GB is the machine maximum and is what i Recommend. It will cost about $40.00 for this DDR2 flash memory upgrade. A windows 7 upgrade disc will not help you. What you will need is a windows 7 program disc. Good Luck.

Yes, I have Win7 installed. I did upgrade the memory to I believe 6gb, but you could probably install with just 1gb. It would run slower, though.

I dual boot win 7 and 8.1 and haven't experienced any issues. I find 8.1 to boot up fastest and overall better performance. Win 7 works great though!

I had one of these and 2gb was the most it can handle. It came with 1 and I upgraded to 2. I used Windows XP and it was designed to use XP , XP professional or Vista. I am not so sure it has the processor speed or ram to use windows 7,,buy the time 7 came out these were pretty obsolete. Good machine though.

Chris; I am operating v19. The requirement is 350MB not GB. I hope this helps.

Windows 7 (64-bit) will only support up to 8GB of memory per dimm (slot). this board has (4) memory slots so, 4 x 8 = 32GB maximum will be supported.

i read in one of the revies that the guy hated W8 and went thru hoops to uninstall. think he formated drive and installed W7 but still had problems. I came from vista to W8 so little learning curve,....but lots of utube videos to ease the pain of learning curve. i was on 32 bit vista n this is 64 bit tech. i stored stuff in 32g thumb and moved to W8. some programs had to be updated for W8, or W7 cuz of the 64 bit thing but all works great. Updates for W7 seem to work fine on W8 platform, hope this helps u!

I had no problems with Win 7, did not try Win 8- it started to malfunction and I have not analyzed the problem yet- realized I was not going to use it as much because even with three screens(laptop and two others I can only really have two in content

If your laptop is running Win 7 Home Basic then you can only have 8GB of RAM if you have the Premium then you can install 16GB like you are trying. Also, you need to make sure that you are using the same frequencies that your laptop supports. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I run Windows, don't do "I" products, the actual available storage is slightly less than 500GB's, so if you need 500 I'd go bigger, there is a 750 & a 1TB on Amazon

There is a difference between how drive manufacturers specify 32GB and how Windows specifies GB. Every storage device will specify more GB and Windows will always say less due to these differences. Not going to detail them out, as the math makes my head hurt. :P

Dual boot with Win 7 works great! My PC is from HP - i7 2.66 with 8GB of RAM. The Mini 2.4 with 4GB of RAM boots just as fast as the HP. (Kinda shocked)...
