Windows 7 Compatibility: Software Programs & Hardware Devices: Find Updates, Drivers, & Downloads More information here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/upgrading-to-windows-7-frequently-asked-questions In the event that any of your XP software won't play ball you can install XP Mode to do so. Unfortunately, you can't get it with Windows Home Premium, so you would need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional if you do want XP Mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/8247-windows-xp-mode-install-setup.html My Computer My Computer Computer Manufacturer/Model NumberHP Pavilion Elite 495UKOSWindows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-BitCPUIntel Core i7 870 @ 2.93GHzMotherboardMSI 2A9C (CPU1)Memory8Gb Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 664MHzGraphics Card(s)nVidia GeForce GTX 460 1024MB dedicated RAMSound CardRealtek HD AudioMonitor(s) DisplaysHP2310iScreen Resolution1920 x 1080Hard Drives1x1954GB Hitachi HDS22020ALA 330 (RAID), 1x1954GB Hitachi External for backup and storagePSU460WCaseHP EliteCoolingAir cooledKeyboardLogitech K750 solar-powered keyboardMouseLogitech Wireless M180 mouseInternet Speed2MbOther InfoPure Avanti Flow Internet Radio with iPod Dock, 64Gb iPod, HP USB Speakers, Sony MDR-V500 Headphones, Sony Vaio F-Series Laptop
