    Hi RATEDRSUPERFAN, welcome to the forums ,Aero is not really an essential part of Win7 ,although it gives you a better graphical user experience, you will only be able to use basic themes etc hope this helps you :) her is a link to one of our excellent tutorials Aero - Enable in Unsupported Editions of Windows 7 I do not know if this will work for you

    Aero is just the bells and whistles.

    This is how it will be without Aero

    Note: You will have internet connectivity
    Windows 7 on a non-Aero system?

    and this is how it will be with Aero

    Aero is not needed. I have aero turned off on my netbook and performance is definitely better. My netbook is rather under powered.

    Speccy is a brilliant program for SYSTEM Info, you can also go to RUN and type in msinfo32 and then hit enter for SYSTEM Info as well.
