[gui-talk] windows 7 upgrade

[Chris Hallsworth]

Well, it's probably the same for most machines made before Windows 7.
Chances are though that the DVD includes many drivers that will work for
most hardware, even those two or more years old. My advice would be to run
the upgrade adviser, and if it's all ok, with perhaps one or two updates,
then go ahead. My friend's trying Windows 7 on her four year old HP Presario
laptop. Initially the sound didn't work but all she had to do was to get the
latest drivers and all works well. Good luck.

Subject: [gui-talk] windows 7 upgrade

Hello all,

I have a sony vaio notebook, which I purchased in may 2008. The computer was
actually released for sale in march 2008 according to the tech person at
sony. It runs windows vista professional. I was told that this particular
model was ineligible for windows 7 upgrade because sony had not posted the
necessary drivers on its website. I thought I would post this here to alert
people who are moving from vista to windows 7 to be sure your manufactuer
can handle such an upgrade. I was surprised to learn that the reason for my
not being able to run windows 7 was not due to processing speed, memory or
hard disk space but was simply due to the fact that drivers are not
currently posted for this computer.
