Today Microsoft has officially released Windows 7. If you are not sure whether or not your system supports it, you can download the free Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor software to check if it does. The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor checks your PC to see if it’s ready to run Windows 7. When it’s finished, you’ll see which upgrade options are available and get guidance on fixing the system program, and device issues the Advisor found before you install Window 7.
Note: Before you install the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, it is recommended that you plug in and power on any USB devices or other devices like printers, scanners, or hard drives.
It only takes some minutes for the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to check for compatibility. The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor shows two reports: One 32-bit report and one 64-bit report. This will show you whether or not you will be able to update to 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7. The reports are also divided in to three sections:
- System
- Devices
- Programs
If your system supports Windows 7, the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor will display the following message: “Your computer can run Windows 7“. If it does not support Windows 7, then the Advisor will tell you what issues it found and how you can fix them.

Ok I bought my laptop a few weeks ago and the place where I bought it says that if I bought it after June 26 I could get windows 7 for free. Was it a joke? Windows looks great and I would love to download it but I just do not have the money at the moment. T_T
Call the store you bought from they have the details of where you can go to get your free upgrade to the win 7 equivalent of your current vista version. ie: vista home or home premium – 7 home premium, vista business – 7 professional, or vista ultimate – 7 ultimate. Hopefully that helps you understand your options.
I Have windows 7 ultimate instal on my computer.I think that windows 7 is the best so far having used many other operating systems before.But how do I get the new full version for free download?
The price I saw for Win7 is too big for my pocket.
Jazmil you should be able to claim your upgrade at best buy — i have 7 ultimate (rc2), i’m picking up final today.
Also remember, if u are a student with a .edu email account, you can get 7 for $29…
