Windows 7 vs. XP?

[THEWELSHM]

Ok here's the deal the experience I had I love 7 ,tried 8 hated it because I was used to XP format . I am writing this post on my reloading room pc which has XP. I have good antivirus software so will see how this plays out. For those folks with small processors I would down load windows 7 32 bit. 64 wont work for you it will need to much memory .Also if you have Lotus or some of the older software you may get printing issues. I have 64 bit 7 (I love it) on my main machine in the house. But this one still XP Im not moving anytime soon ( although I would suggest using Firefox Instead of Explorer hell of a difference on the XP machines ( not saying MS would sand bag us) but seems to be the case.My 02

This is all very helpful. I don't know my capacity, as the computer is a Frankenstein item installed by my brother. He'll need to check if it'll support adding Win. 7.

Our third brother once expressed surprise that I have so little
capacity. Is this RAM? He said that I should have a lot more.

Click the (Start) button

Click (My Computer)

My Computer page will pop up and you should see a list of drives. Hover the mouse over Local Disk C: (don't click) and a tiny window will pop up that says Total Size. That is the size of your hard drive.

On the left side of the same My Computer page is a column. The first part of the column is labeled Sytem Tasks. Right below that click (View System Information). A System Properties window will pop up with the CPU and RAM info.
