Mikey Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Ok.. I've got a laptop here when i turn it on it takes me to 'Error loading operating system' I dont have any ORIGINAL disks to reinstall it but I do have a download of windows 7 I was wondering if It would be possible to install it onto this laptop with the use of an external hard drive? I'm in unknown territory here so im useless lol any help would be great! Here are the specs of the laptop: Memory: 1 GB Brand: Lenovo Processor Type: Intel Celeron M Product Line: Lenovo ThinkPad Processor Speed: 1.80 GHz Model: ThinkPad T43 Hard Drive Capacity: 80 GB MPN: Operating System: Windows XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serdyn321 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 the pc you are trying to install windows 7 on is runnng extremely low specs, and wont run windows 7, it does however meet the minimum requirement for vista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jks101 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yeah, just get the boot disc, you should be fine imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld1 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 the pc you are trying to install windows 7 on is runnng extremely low specs, and wont run windows 7, it does however meet the minimum requirement for vista It will go, just slow. If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor 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 The other thing you will find Mikey is issues with updates. You will probably have to manually download service pak 1. If you get that far I can help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
