would my laptop be able to run win7?

by fallenchaos - 10/6/09 6:40 PM

Hello I have had my laptop for over 3 months now. Runs good, no problems at all so far. So I've read in a thread that I will need some 16GBs of RAM to run Win7 or something. Anyways I might have read it wrong or I just don't understand all the computer stuff. So here are all my laptop specs and can someone please tell me if my laptop will be able to run Win7?

OS:
Windows Vista Home Premium SP2
System:
HP G60 Notebook PC
Processor: Pentium Dual-Core CPU T4200@2.00GHz
Memory: 3.00 GB
System: 32-bit OS

Closing notes: I seriously hate Vista and cannot wait for the Win7 release. So if I can upgrade I will be happy. Thanks for any help in advance.

I have a 10 month old HP DV4t and it is running the Full Windows 7 Professional, that I got from MSDNAA. I have had no problems.

You meet all the requirements for Windows 7. Most Computers with Vista should run Windows 7 correctly.

Here's the requirements it asks for:
If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
Additional requirements to use certain features:

Internet access (fees may apply)
