My device is capable for upgrading to Windows-7 according to the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. Because it's an older model it doesn't appear on the 'Pre-Register for Windows-7' Sony's website page.<BR /><BR />However, since the model is capable to run Windows 7 the big questions are, shall I need new any drivers after installing Windows 7 (I mean to download and install them manually)? Will the power options and other model-specific features (screen brightness calibration) software available to WinXP be also installable and available to Windows 7?<BR /><BR />Anyone tried the latest Windows 7 on any older model?<BR /><BR />Thank you all in advance!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 13 Sep 2009 11:13:23 GMT sakis_ser 2009-09-13T11:13:23Z Windows-7 on older notebooks https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/windows-7-on-older-notebooks/m-p/43877#M51693 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi all!<BR /><BR />I have a VGN-A317M notebook (+512Mb additional RAM).
