I'll echo the sentiments, that without giving us some system specs, there's absolutely no way we could ever take a guess at answering your question. The upgrade advisor is nice, but very limited in terms of what it tells you. The report can also be misleading. I'm ready and willing to help, and I've installed Windows 7 on my share of older computers, but I'm surprised to see you don't have the system specs listed or filled in. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Intel Core i7-2600 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3P-B3 Memory 12 GB Patriot Extreme DDR3-1333 Graphics Card Nvidia GTX 470 Monitor(s) Displays Dell UltraSharp 2209WA PSU OCZ ModStream 700W Case CoolerMaster HAF 912 Advanced Cooling CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus Hard Drives OCZ Agility3 240 GB, WD5001AALS, WD7501AALS |

If it says ok - Then post your specs back and people can give you help/ advice on where we have encountered problems with Windows 7 installs on older machines.
I'd be surprised if you can't run Windows 7 on it...think most of us have got it to 'run' on some pretty low end hardware when we were testing the beta releases. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 64 bit CPU i7 Motherboard Gigabyte UD5 Memory 6gb Gskill matched DDR3 Graphics Card Radeon HD4600 Sound Card All onboard Monitor(s) Displays HP 2159v PSU Corsair 750w Case Antec 920 Cooling Aksas Nero Hard Drives 2 * 1tb WD Caviar Black Raid 0 Is my hp pavilion dv6000 upgradable to windows 7? problems?
