My Kingston memory and Windows 7 compatibility

Thank you all for your replies.

Maybe I didn't mentioned earlier - I've used the upgrade advisor several times, but for some reason it always shows an error message that says that I need to re-install the upgrade advisor again. No matter how many times I've tried, it always ended the same way. Even restarting the PC, shutting it down and turning it back on and even cleaning the registry, all of these didn't help also. That's why I 'm posting all these threads about my hardware compatibility with Windows 7.

I've also posted similar threads on MSI, AMD (for my video card) and on Western-Digital (for my external & internal hard drives) support forums. One thing I didn't searched for Windows 7 compatibility is my Realtek network adapter as I can't find a Realtek support forums...

Ok - Here is the screenshot

BTW, Here are my motherboard details: MSI P965 NEO. Maybe someone here knows if it's Windows 7 compatible?

This Technet thread talks about this upgrade advisor problem but there seems to be more than one possible solution. One of them may work for you, hard to say for sure at this point what the actual solution is.

Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor will not run (Unexpected error)

I've just read throught that thread and I reckon that by the time someone had read the thread, understood it and tried all the possible remedies the next version of Windows will be out there on the shelves. It is a very long thread with dozens of possible remedies. I think if you use the Belarc Adivisor, post a screen shot of it here we will be able to say whether your system will support Win 7.

Actually I just read the entire thread in about ten minutes. There was only about three possible solutions and they did in fact work for some. IMO it's the best Technet thread on this subject and the only one with solutions that work.

I'm also fairly certain that my post was not directed towards you or your previous posts in any way, I think the Op needs to decide which posts are relevant.

I'm pretty sure you already posted your "solutions" 5 posts, on this subject so why not let others do their best?

Again, you are worrying about something that shouldn't warrant any thought. You're system specs are well above what is recommnded for Windows 7. That also includes your Realtek NIC, which has drivers built-in to Windows 7. I don't know if you had a bad experience in the past or not, but your fairly recent, common hardware will work with it.

Besides, if you are really worried, then fill out your system specs in your profile.

I would also agree that you may have an underlying issue as to why Upgrade Advisor is failing, but if it is software related, I'd ignore it and go to Windows 7.

I just updated my system specs. Anyone wanna have a look?

Thank you for updating the specs. My advice from above still stands. You are well above the minimum and even the recommended specs. Windows 7 will run perfectly fine on your system.
