Tobes49 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Hi, I'm looking for a new computer and found this one on the dell site, The thing that worries me is they offer Windows 7 Upgrade on most computers but not this one? Is there something in the spec that not compatable with windows 7? I dont mind buying a copy later and upgrading but want to make sure it possable Chassis Dell Studio D005418 PROCESSOR Intel® Core™ 2 Quad-Core Q8300 Processor (2.5GHz, 4MB cache, 1333MHz FSB) OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium SP1 (64 BIT) - English MONITOR 21.5in S2209W Full HD Widescreen Black UK/Irish (1920 x 1080) MEMORY 6144MB Dual Channel DDR2 800MHz [2x2048 + 2x1024] Memory HARD DRIVE 1.5TB (7200rpm) SATA Hard Drive GRAPHICS CARD nVidia GeForce GT220 1024MB graphics card Link to full specs Edited August 24, 2009 by Tobes49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobK Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 When I click on your link and go through the spec it says "Windows 7 Upgrade Eligible". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobK Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hmm and the graphics card is now a GTS 240. They must have changed the spec since your post I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Can you upgrade from Vista or is it effectively a new install? Rest of the spec is very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliAUDI Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 hey...not sure if anyone can help, but I have an old computer with windows XP installed on it. The installation is very corrupt, and needs to re be instaleld from fresh ideally. However, I don't have the original XP disk that came with the computer.... I have an official XP code, but no disk... anyone got any ideas? Buying a proper copy of XP is so much money! I could installed UNIX/LINUX, but I'd rather stay with XP for other reasons (certainly not the relaibility) thanks in advance Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobes49 Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 When I click on your link and go through the spec it says "Windows 7 Upgrade Eligible". They have changed the spec and made it "Windows 7 Eligible" After looking around it still seems like a very good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
