Will my computer work with Windows 7?

Hey, I ran the Windows 7 compatibility test, and a few things in red came up. But it didn't say anywhere on the end-of-test report whether my laptop is suitable for Windows 7 or not.

Anyway, here's an upload of the comparability report (in mht format):

https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B-...ODJkYS00ZGRmLWJhNGEtZjk4ZGIxYjk5Mzcw&hl=en_GB

As you can see, it's mainly the programs that are not compatible. But my hardware specs are there as well, so maybe someone in the know can say if Windows 7 will work just fine with these. (I know they pass the minimum requirement, but I've read a lot of people saying that minimum really does means minimum).


Also, just another question while I'm at it... I have Windows XP and Ubuntu currently on dual-boot on my laptop. I'm planning to just completely wipe my hard drive (backing up important files etc), and then install W7 and then Ubuntu. Is this the best way to do it? I've heard that a Windows 7 install would wipe both operating systems.

I use Ubuntu pretty much all the time, but I just thought it'd be a good idea to replace XP with something newer (and also since I get Windows 7 for free).

Thanks in advance.
 
Only says "No preview available", I sure as hell ain't downloading an unknown from a first time poster.
Please use the forums tools.
 
I checked it out, your computer will run Windows 7 really well! Perhaps look for a bigger hard drive, with only 22.5GB of free space, im guessing you have a lot of stuff on an 80GB?

For the sake of others, the specs are

Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 - 2.00GHz
2GB RAM
22.5GB Free Space

Hello Mark200,

Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/w7itpro/ . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to check the threads available there for additional assistance and support.

Thanks again,
