I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit x86 RC1 Build 7100 on my T42 to see how it would run. Summary: It worked well, without aero, and the 1GB of RAM did fine. The graphics were the biggest issue.

System specs:

Intel Pentium M 1.7GHz
1GB DDR 333Mhz RAM
40GB 5400RPM IDE HD
32MB Intel Radeon Video card

  • how much free space do u have with win 7 ?

  • @pcpik3r I had enough, but not much.

  • @jamesrschultz naah i think ubuntu 10.10 runs PERFECTLY on it, better than win xp/7

  • @pcpik3r Not any of the hardware I've used!

  • @jamesrschultz what do you mean, ubuntu barely uses any space, wthe wireless work out of the box (rare) and its overall faster than anything!

  • @pcpik3r That's what everybody says, but I've never had that be the case!

  • @jamesrschultz really? on a 40gb hdd dual boot win xp and ubuntu it works flawlessly

  • @SamoraTheGreat Exactly. I don't exactly own a T42 -- but a T40. I can honestly say that this laptop is just great. I recently installed a 1GB RAM module, and I'm really satisfied. You can definetly install Windows Vista / 7 on these laptops, it won't show any issue.

  • @GrafvonWindeck I got the Windows 7 drivers from Windows Update, and Lenovo's driver site. Any Vista drivers you find for this hardware should also work in Windows 7.

  • Where can I get the drivers for Windows 7? So sound drivers etc? Greeting
