I tried and tested Windows 7 on my Acer 5570z laptop . But before installing it I upgraded ram from 512 MB to 2GB . For better performance of Windows 7 your system must have ram above 1 GB.
The changes which I observed in Windows 7 are it is fast , more user friendly , stunning graphics and efficient memory management. Comes with most features of Windows Vista . And the important feature which I observed is the compatibility with old software .
If you want to test your hardware platform for Windows 7 then these are the official statements from Microsoft which you must check .Install Windows 7 if it matches your system :D

Microsoft Windows 7 comes with many variants like Windows 7 Starter,Home Basic,Home Premium,Professional,Enterprise and Ultimate. Windows 7 ultimate is the best version available of all.
Up till now the system has not reported any bug . Now I am WWW i.e. Working With Windows ;)
You should try Ultimate version, it is best.
ReplyDeleteYes !! I am going to install it rather upgrade this Windows 7 version to ultimate version .
ReplyDeleteThe things which I bothered about Ultimate is these are many other advancements (features ) available in ultimate which I am not going to use.
That is the reason why I am using Windows 7 Home Premium .
