help installing win7 pls

[TechSeven]

The motherboard is very old and also the cpu. I was thinking about slowly changing the two. I can only afford little by little at the moment.

Im hoping the ssd and other desktop specs ive listed above will all be compatible.

I ordered the windows 8 cd and its getting ready to be dispatched. Im having second thoughts and might cancel it before they dispatch it soon. Maybe get win7/64 bit.

One thing i forgot to mention above with the specs is the desktop is 32 bit/windows 7.

So they are attempting to cancel the shipment.

I was reading the posts from earlier on.

I noticed post #18 said i have 64 bit windows 7 but i don't.

I have tried to cancel the windows 8 order and hopefully they are able to cancel the order.

Ok just got some further news by email, it's now cancelled. So as it stands the samsung ssd is on its way but not dispatched yet. Its not late to cancel that to. So let me know on your ideas pls.

So install 7 64 bit.

You already have a windows 7 license key, correct ?

So you don`t have to buy anything, you just need a Windows 7 64 bit install DVD, the same version that`s on your COA.

Don`t cancel the ssd.

Are we talking about something else other then the laptop you have in your specs.

Once again, Please fill in your specs, down below where it says My System Specs, Thank You

I ended up cancelling the ssd to and read your post late.

Next time i will comfirm it with you then make new orders.

Ok there has been a mix up.

When i was new to this website i was using my laptop. And so i filled in my laptops specs under my system specs on my profile.

It is my desktop that is not working properly and that is what i am trying to repair with the help from this forum .

Im using a laptop right now and i have changed my system specs to my desktop pc that does not function properly.

Hope that helps a little

Question:

Im not sure if i have the option AHCI in my bios. Or the options/settings needed that is suited for ssd.
This was a reason why i cancelled the ssd order.

I will attatch some pictures and maybe you can tell me if my desktop can support ssd.

The first picture shows details about my desktop cpu.

Was this the hard drive you had/have in the desktop problem PC and are these the connections it uses ?

Yes or no ?

 

[TechSeven]

yes

So, for the Love of God, why did you cancel the ssd order, they use the same connections.

Get this ssd. Then get a 1 or 2 TB Western Digital or Seagate for storage when you can afford it.
