hey guys.. i bought this notebook some days ago:

Notebook Dell Inspiron 1545 ,Intel Dual Core T4200 2.0GHz, 4GB, 160GB, LCD 15,6", Wi-Fi , Windows Vista Home Premium

as you guys can see... came with WINDOWS VISTA... and realy.. i hate windows vista..
i´m using windows7 in my pc for months.. and i liked a lot...
should i install windows7 in this notebook? will handle well?
and if yes... x64 or x86?

cya

you should be able to run the 64bit version with your cpu - maybe you should try a dual-boot option first to make sure...check dell to see if there are 64bit drivers for your hardware.

check this tutorial on how to setup dual-boot.

depends on the version of Vista home installed. x86 or x64
Id'd upgrade to the same version pre-installed.

i would recommend a clean install - not an upgrade from one os to another! especially as it's a new machine that probably doesn't have a lot of software to reinstall.

thanks guys...
i´ll install windows 7 x64 and see what happens :P...
and yes... it´s a new machine.. so.. i realy dont need to reinstall nothing.. (just drivers)

Basically guys, the CLEAN in much faster. I agree, but his is NEW. so in that case I'd recommend -UPGRADE- REASON: he will have use of the FREE programs that come with the NEW computer. If he owns AV and FW and all the other stuff. and can install from Retail or OEM disk. great.

But remember many x86 programs do install on x64 systems.
