Install Windows 7 On A Computer That Does Not Meet The Official Minimum System Requirement
Oct 22, 2012
Just for fun, I want to attempt to install Windows 7 on a computer that does not meet the official minimum system requirements.
Specs of this PC:
Cyrix MII @ ~300 MHz
768 MB (256 x 3) 100 MHz SDRAM (not DDR) ATI Rage 128 AGP graphics card
80 GB SATA HDD (upgraded, with PCI card for the SATA)
I put the specs of most concern in bold. As for the video card, I can upgrade that if need be. What I'm really wondering is... can the Cyrix II even process the instructions for Windows 7 (albeit extremely slowly, of course) or is its instruction set simply too old?
I am having a problem of installing several driver into a VM which run on Dell Latitude E4310, it prompt me, "the system doesn't meet minimum requirement to.... ", let's take display driver for this case. The driver I download from dell website.
I have a HP Compaq CQ57 notebook that came with windows 7 starter. I installed Win 7 Ultimate but when I try to install the drivers, it say that the computer does not meet the minimum specifications. I think it is something that I have not loaded because it gives this error with every driver, even the wireless network driver
i recently formatted my Samsung n102 netbook. i forgot to take backup before formatting . i lost all the drivers installed and data's i saved. i just need to get the default drivers and programs which is already installed while i purchase, is there any option to get the default things....
my usb port is not working and one said that install the intel chipset software but while installing i am getting system does not meet minimum requirements
i have installed win7 on my mgs one notebook and the vga and the network drivers are not installed. i have downloaded them and when i tried to install them, it saying that '' this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software''. i have try my best but nothing happen. The thing is that the machine was running win7 before and it gave some error when i have compressed the system disk c. i have also the drivers cd for the machine the one that was with the machine when i bought it.
When I try to install my computer drivers it shows This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software message.My motherboard model is ASUS-P5KPL-AM.
third monitor displayed, graphic card only supports two monitors, however I need to get a third up and running. RE14842 is the driver and I get this error, coworker has the exact same drivers and hardware, only thing that is different is I had mine imaged from previous OS, coworker did not.
Whenever I try to install the video driver for the dell latitude e6400 off their site, i get "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software." I have just reinstalled windows, this laptop is 4-5 years old and still works though.
I installed Intel Management Engine Driver, Intel Chipset Driver, Intel USB3.0 Driver, Realtek High Definition Audio Driver but i couldn't install many other drivers like Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver, Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver for 7x series, Intel Smart Connect Technology Driver it says "Platform Check Failed: Unsupported Hardware" or "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software."
I have a ViewSonic 19" CRT (Professional Series P95f+)
There are drivers for Vista 64, however 7 won't take them and the monitor I have is not listed when I try to choose it from the list. I tried similar models but still the monitor will only do 85hz at the highest even in low resolutions.
This monitor can do 160hz in 800x600, 120hz in 1024x768 and 100hz in 1280x960, 90hz in 1280x1024 I believe.
I tried using a custom driver that I made in Rivatuner but it only works on Windows XP. I tried the latest version of Rivatuner but the button for Create Driver is not clickable no matter how I set it up, and it doesn't correctly detect the monitor (perhaps because I'm using 2 monitors at once, not sure).
Any suggestions on how I can force windows 7 to use higher refresh rates? This monitor looks like absolute crap when it's not at full refresh....especially next to my nice new TRUE 120hz 22" LCD (ViewSonic VX2265WM).
my desktop computer does not have an Operating System, this is after i tried to format my computer but i followed a wrong instruction. then i decided to put out the cd then restart it, but the computer didn't start, my friend says it is because there's no OS, then i tried doing again the steps in installing OS, but any keys i press or click doesn't work even the del, what will i do?
So, I recently installed Windows 7 on my aunt's old PC: Pentium 4 Prescott "A" 2.8GHz, 768 MB RAM, GeForce FX5200. Runs quite well, even with glass on and MSE running in the background.Now, my mom needs her computer reformatted. It's currently running Windows XP, and I wonder if it can make the jump to 7: Celeron 1.2 GHz (I do believe it's a Tualatin, though; if it is, that makes it as good or better than Pentium 4 Willamettes) 512 MB PC133 SDRAM, and some newer nVidia PCI card.Can it manage it? I actually made Windows 7 "usable" on a Duron Mobile 800 MHz with 512 MB RAM and integrated GPU before.
I have a WIN -7 system with 1 trig SADA hard drive. I also have a Vista system with a 750mb hard drive from my old computer.Can I install the Vista hard drive into the Win-7 system and boot from either system?
Before upgrade into Windows 7 7600, I used Vista Ultimate Home Premium and installed Warcraft III in D:. After upgraded into Windows 7, I still can play the game normally, but after reinstall the game in the same Partition, i meet this problem when playing DotA Allstars in Garena. The game finished the loading, join in the game for a few minutes and...bingo...fatal error
Already updated my VGA driver, sound driver and the game into patch 1.23...etc...
lots of Bsod's while simply use (firefox,movie,idle) and not on gamming (battlefield 3 )i even tried to post here 3 times now and got BSOD so i'm gonna try to be quick and simple..

full memtest all night with cold pc showed nothing all cables replaced and reattached (sata and power)
NT Kernel & System rises to top of list in task manager and then just totally stops installs from proceeding. I have fought NT Kernel & System on 3 computers running Win 7 x64 ever since Win 7 has been out. No one yet that I know of has been able to solve the issue. I now need to install Java and can't because of NT Kernel & System stops it. I have tried everything on every forum and sites l find with Google searches. Nothing has worked yet.
after i play some game sometimes the monitor resolution changes to the smallest value something like 1100 x 700 .. i must log out and log back in to user or reboot to get back my normal resolution 1920 x 1080 on my SyncMaster B2330HD monitor .WHY and how do i fix this annoying problem
