can you install windows 7 in this tower

I purchased this tower to replace the same model tower my son-in-law had damaged visiting websites that he should have known better to visit.Long story short, while this was the same model tower as my previous one, it does NOT work well, does NOT have any sound output, and I have not powered it up in over a year.Yesterday I asked my other son-in-law if you can install windows 7 on it and he just laughed!!!With that response I assume you can not, and Cathy, if you know anyone that wants a man in their life, I would love to unload both son-in-laws.

I don't know the requirements for windows 7. I prefer xp over windows seven a lot of older programs won't run on seven and xp can also run DOS programs. If It has the min. memory and hard drive requirements are there it should work. I bought one of the computers I am not the seller. Mine works great with xp I have Win Seven on another computer but love XP for my older programs.

Yes, I have Win7 installed. I did upgrade the memory to I believe 6gb, but you could probably install with just 1gb. It would run slower, though.
1661405
Yes. It will install and then look for updates afterwards, probably many times. You may have to go to Dell using your "ServiceTag number for drivers.
1661406
Yes..without a problem. But..(I don't remember if it had an operating system on it when it arrived) unless it has the operating system on it..you'll have to use a "full blown" version of Windows 7..not the upgrade.

yes you can , my local computer repair shop said he could put it on my dell and it would run great - i am getting it done for my birthday !! easy deal.

I haven't tried, I purchased it as the XP-Pro was necessary for a particular program I run and the computer is dedicated to that program. The ram would be a bit light on the one I got.

Yes. a "regular desktop," not a tower. And I'm very pleased with mine and Windows 7.

Yes, you can but make sure that the source computer is running on Windows 7 32-bit.

I think windows 7 is preinstalled but you are allowed to upgrade it to windows 8 for free. So when you boot it up the first time you will have win 7

Windows 7 is installed. There's $14.95 deal for a do it yourself upgrade to 8, but if you've never done a similar thing before it can be a challenge.

No need to purchase other things. HDD's & SSD's can be installed into the slots the tower has inside.

I have not tried installing windows 7. It has a backup copy of windows on a different partition of the hard drive(no back up CDs). If you did a clean install I don't foresee any issues.

I'm sure it is possible. I just put windows 8.1 on mine a few days ago. Keep in mind you will need to buy windows 7.

I have bought 2 of these towers and yes they were both Windows 7 but that was about a year ago for purchase

You can do it but unless you are fairly savvy at computer stuff best to go to a local computer shop. You will have to buy Win 7 and have them install it. Also, it may compromise any extended warranty you may have purchased.

It comes with windows 7 preinstalled. If you want 8 you have to recover into 8.

Yes you can. Great PC, for low level performance. Microsoft office & desktop works great. Enjoy

You should probably not buy this when you're asking that question! This machine needs RAM and HDD installed separatly, and I doubt you are qualified...no disrespect intended ;-)But yes, you can install it after Windows is installed (which does not come included).

No motherboard has any "Windows built-in".you have motherboards that are compatible with windows 8 or windows 8 ready but the operating system i.e windows is not built-in. that is installed on hard drive. Which you still need the disc media to install it.

Yes, that is what this computer has inside. I wanted to keep windows 7 and this computer has it.It is a great computer and highly recommended.Ron Smith
