    Install Windows 7 on a windows XP home edition


    Hola everyone!

    I have a question regarding the installation of windows 7 on my old windows XP home edition. I don't know if it is still possible to install it within the current setup I own. I am not an expert and have already seen some of the windows 7 requirements. In particular, I am not too sure about is whether my graphic card ( Intel (R) G41 Express chipset) can take this new windows. I would be very grateful for any help that you can provide me. Thanks in advance.

    You can Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP

    or do a Clean Install Windows 7 using the Drive Options pictured in Step 7 to delete all partitions during the booted install to create/format new as desired, or just click Next to let the installer do it for you.

    Also look over these steps for Clean Reinstall Windows 7 which compile everything that works best in tens of thousands of installs we've directly helped with here, and which will result in a perfect Win7 install that will stay that way for as long as you use only the tools and methods given.
