Hi Dear,

This is standard configuration. In this Laptop by factory default maybe it was Microsoft windows XP. But you can install windows 7 without any problem. Please note, this is only your choice that you fill comfort to use with which operating system. If you fill that windows 7 is more familiar with you then please install windows 7 to your computer and continue work.

 

Also another advantage you will get from windows 7. Like all Drivers may install autocratically and less windows patch install also less virus attach.

Hi Margaret,

Since installation of operating systems have minimum requirements. And upon checking your laptop specifications, it meet the requirements either WinXP and Windows 7.

You may use either of the two, if you want to maximum the use of your laptop then install Windows 7 and most of the laptop hardware is already configured to your laptop when you install this operating system while WinXP you will be needing to install manually some laptop hardware.

Please see below the details for your guidance:

Windows 7 minimum requirements:

1. 1GHz processor (for 32-bit and 64-bit).
2. 1GB RAM (for 32-bit and 64-bit).
3. 16GB disk space (for 32-bit and 64-bit).

Windows XP minimum requirements:

1. 233 MHz processor up.
2. 128MB RAM up.
3. 2GB disk space.
