Windows 7 on Legacy Hardware

Thanks for watching. After customer's disappointment in Windows Vista, Microsoft knew they had to make their next operation system as good as possible. And so far, Windows 7 is a great OS, even in it's beta stage. This video is about using Windows 7 on older computers sense Windows Vista didn't like old hardware. Enjoy! If you want to try out Windows 7, or just download for fun, get it for free at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/

Note that you should NOT use Windows 7 BETA as your main operating system. Install it on a test system, or do a dual boot between the current OS you are running now.

Bye.

Great! Do you think that windows 7 would run as well as xp on a pc: 2.8 ghz celeron, 1gb ram, ati hd2400 pro 256mb vga??

I think the video would run great but the CPU may be a little sluggish at times. You could try it, and I would, but I think XP would run fastest.

dude this isn't old hardware or legacy. what? this is still an acceptable machine for most people. that said, windows 7 will run decently on TRUE older hardware like pentium 2's... it will run on pentium 1's if the BIOS has ACPI 2.0 support but it runs like shit on those. P2's it is acceptable on generally. depends what you're doing with it.

I built this machine back in 2003. So I would consider this legacy and old hardware; computers get outdated fast. Most machines on the market today for consumers are mostly dual core... This is a single core processor, making it pretty much obsolete.

No one gives a -Shit- about your fucking opinion just keep your mouth shut. Your one of the most annoying people I have ever heard in my entire life. I hope you get hurt, so much so that you never can use that squeaky box within your throat that you use, to speak English. Eat shit and die. I have balls of steel.

Excuse the grammar and typo's please...

actuley do research and you will find that you can use drivers for other nic cards that will work if you force them or you can install the xpdriver for them.

I have 7 on a laptop with a single core 2.13GHz Celeron processor, a built in graphics card that is just able to play Half Life 2, but Aero works, and it works great, 2GB of DDR2, I put windows 7 64-bit on it, I was surprized that old processor worked with a 64-bit OS.
