Can my dell inspiron 1525 laptop run windows 7 rc?

I have a dell inspiron 1525 with 2gb ran dual core and i downloaded the upgrade advisor for windows 7 and it said that it has all the requirements to run windows 7 but I just want to make sure...

of course :) windows 7 could run on a toaster

it aint windows 7, but still impressive:
NetBSD Toaster with the TS-7200 ARM9 SBC

Of course you can. What's more, install W7 for x86 and then apply almost all the drivers from the Vista Drivers' CD, except the Video Drivers, which must be taken from the intel page --> gm965 graphic drivers for W7-RC.

It runs like a rocket, very very fast, it surprised me.

I am finding it difficult to get to buy an upgrade for my Vista home basic based Inspiron 1525.

If I buy the licence from anywehere else and try to install it on Inspiron 1525, will it work? Or do I have to buy it from Dell itself??

I am still wondering what to do....

Mine does quite nicely. 32bit if you aren't going to buy ram

I just installed the 64 bit, dell input driver r244796, on the Dell Inspiron 1525, and the scrolling does work. This should work for 64bit Vista or Windows 7. Here's the link for the download....
