Windows 7 Upgrade Hell: Some Vista Users Face 'Endless Reboots'

Windows 7 will work properly on my laptop specs?

Processor AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile technology TL-50 / 1.6 GHz Dual-Core 64-bit processor
RAM Installed Size 1.0 GB (Upgrading to 3.0 GB)/ Technology DDR2 SDRAM - 533.0 MHz
Video Graphics Processor NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100 (256vram shared)

I would add at least 1GB RAM but 2GB would be better.

Thanks just bought a new memory ram 2gb today, i now have 2,75gb since my NVidea VGA does share 256 video ram.

Gona try Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor now :slight_smile:

Upgrading to Win7 for free thanks to HP. I hope I don’t have to face these reboots :-[

ok only the “Aero” thing didnt pass.

hum wonder whats diference in choosing windows 7 architeture 86x or 64x?

Its 86x or commonly called 32-bit

The Aero should pass but maybe you need to update the video driver for the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100 adapter:

Thanks, it wasnt necessary to go to Nvidea Website, Windows 7 Updates gave me the drivers for my Nvidea Ge Force Go 6100, dunno if it was from the company Acer who asked Nvidea support for this older laptops, or maybe Nvidea decided to itself since W7 is so nice ;D
I installed the 64 bit version since i have AMD 64 and seems like a new computer with 3gb of memory ram ;D

(I see so 86x is 32bit, i shall remember for the future ::slight_smile: )
