Taytay,
Follow Richc's advice.
Click on the link he provided.
Run the upgrade advisor.
I also suspect that the answer will be no.

does not sound promising.
You will be plagued with problems and poor performance.
I do not suggest installing Win 7 on that computer.
A good place for another opinion would be the Lenovo site and the Lenovo forum.

I wouldn't put Windows 7 on a computer that's nearly ten years old.
As MacGyvr hints, XP SP3 would be fine.

If you check the OP's first post he mentions XP Pro 2002 so I assumed his computer was nearly ten years old.
Shudda gone to Specsavers I guess!
