Many people are asking about whether their PC can run Windows 7. The only reason I can think of to be anxious for Windows 7 is if you are unfortunate enough to be running Windows Vista now.
In general, if your PC can run Windows Vista, it can run Windows 7. But if you’re not running Windows Vista, or are just not sure if your system is ready to run Windows 7, there’s a quick way to do a simple check.
Download, install, and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor Beta.
This is a beta, not perfect, but supposed to be pretty good.
Windows 7 is supposed to be a much improved version of Windows Vista.
The same rules apply here as with any other computer hardware or software purchase:
“If it works, don’t fix it”.
If you are running Windows XP and all is good, wait until it isn’t before you run out and worry about getting Windows 7. If it’s any good, it will still be there when you’re ready for it.
