Windows 7 on a Pentium M? I have an older laptop with Pentium M 1.6 GHz, 1GB RAM, an Intel graphics card on the mobo.
I am having trouble sharing files with a box with 64 bit Windows 7. Someone said it's better to have the same OS.
Is it possible to run 32 bit Win 7 on the oldie (of course, with Aero off)?
Thanks! | My System Specs |

Have a look at this to solve your file sharing problem: File Sharing - Between XP and W7 (and vice versa)
And you can run Windows 7 on the oldie - it will be no barnstormer, but it should run. To make double sure, run the Windows7 upgrade advisor. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 Windows 7 on a Pentium M? problems?
