Bleh... I wish they made the OS smaller in size.. 16gb is just too much... I wanted to update an old laptop.... :(

 

I was thinking about that too..but how old?  Will Windows 7 even run on a laptop that's, say, 5 years old?  I've got a Vaio that's still in good working order, it's just a few years old.  I've been thinking of reformatting it anyway, but I think I only have like a 40 or 60 gig HD, that's way too big even if my laptop had the right specs=P  I don't have near 16 gigs free.

Well my old laptop specs can handle it:

Windows 7:

• 1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

• 1 GB RAM (32-bit) / 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

• 16 GB available disk space (32-bit) / 20 GB (64-bit)

• DirectX 9 graphics processor with WDDM 1.0 or higher drive

I have an old PM 1,7 GHz... but I just have an 40gb harddrive in it.. I would be wasting almost half the HD just for windows 7.. :(
