    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!

    What OS is on the Pent-M & how did you set up the sharing ?

    Also wired or wireless router connections ?

    Have a look at this to solve your file sharing problem: File Sharing - Between XP and W7 (and vice versa)
    And you can run Win7 on the oldie - it will be no barnstormer, but it should run. To make double sure, run the Windows7 upgrade advisor.

The answer to this question is a resounding yes. As a project, I took a Dell Latitude PCx Laptop, a P3 500Mhz with 512MB RAM, and installed the Windows 7 Starter Edition from the RC DVD from Microsoft. At this writing it is running well, at least as responsive at the original Windows 98 (the...
