Is it possible to install on a i7 laptop about 2 years old? And if so is installing on a laptop any more difficult than a pc?

This card is likely bigger than your laptop! Usually it is not possible to replace or upgrade the graphics card or chipset on a laptop of any age.

If you have to ask that question, you're probably not ready to do your own hardware installation on desktops or laptops...

No, it is not possible to install this on a laptop, as it requires the PCI-Express 3 slot, which is not present on a laptop. It's also like 10 inches long and 4 inches tall.

Ben, you cannot install this video card on a laptop. It is meant for a desktop computer.

I have not tried to down grade this from Windows 8 to Windows 7 yet. I did a lot of searching of online reviews of this computer, before I bought it. Somewhere I saw someone complained when they down graded it from Windows 8 to Windows 7, and they had a problem with finding drivers for some of the computer components, but I cannot find that review (This may have been on another HP Desktop, but not sure). Best Buy has a lot more reviews on this exact computer, and here is the posted link. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+ENVY+Desktop+-+10GB+Memory+-+1.5TB+Hard+Drive/7479285.p?id=1218847153040&skuId=7479285&strId=468&strClr=true "I was reading some of the review on the best buy website and a couple of them did put Windows 7 on their machines. One was a 3 star review and the second one was a 4 star review. You might want to try and ask the person who posted that review the same question and see if they are happy with the down grade. Also I was shown where to download the Start Button for Windows 8, and this has made my life a lot easier using this computer. Here is the link for the start button for Classic Windows 8. http://www.classicstart8.com/. I'm too chicken to try and down grade the operating system, because this is my only working desktop right now. I did add in a used blue-ray player from my last dead HP Desktop, and I only had to upgrade the Cyberlink PowerDVD software to 13, and the blue-ray works just fine. I hope this helps you out with your question.

I don't. But if you are serious, you probably want to upgrade to 16GB of RAM and replace the hard drive with SSD. Also find a way to cool down this laptop (with a serious cooling pad, not toy cooling pad), so this super powerful i7 CPU can overclock itself automatically to its full potential. (otherwise it will throttle itself preventing overheat, if you reach around 87 degree C)I can confirm 16 GB of RAM and SSD will work for this laptop. I am not sure 32 GB of RAM though. Will try next year when the RAM cost goes down. :DGood luck shopping.

Yes, but you are better off with Windows 7, if your computer is new enough. Find tutorials on Youtube.

I think you can install on two computers. They don't have to be the same platform (we have it installed on a mac and a pc).

Yes you can legally install it on YOUR laptop and desktop both. If you ever take it off of one make sure tyou ust the programs uninstall.

no you cant install this processor. please dont spend money trying to upgrade this machine because it's kinda obsolete. the best you can do is buy a new pc a $300 desktop will work 6x more faster than your PC.

I guess you can, but make sure to visit the Toshiba website before doing that and check if the win7 drivers are available for that laptop. Also remember this laptop does not have a CD drive, so you will have to either get an external CD/DVD drive to install Win7 or have a way to install it from a USB memory stick.

ONCE, ONE COMPUTER. 2007? Is there not a later version? It's a mighty big package. Do you really need all that? good luck. GB

Possibly, the one I bought had ubuntu on it but it will run windows 7 decently I would check to see what year the game was released if it was near 2007 you should be ok.

If you get the i7 and load it up with RAM it might be OK. However, if you have some huge files, you might need something with many more cores and a lot more RAM, like a Mac Pro.

My installation was in a HP about that same age, visit the Crucial web site and check for your application on their compatibility table.

I have a much older version, EX470 with install cd version 1.1 and I was able to install it using my windows 7 Ultimate x32 just fine. However, I was not able to do so on my other laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I think my cd version was too old.

yes you can but.... it'll take some effort on your part. you'll need to upgrade the RAM to a minimum of 2GB. once that's done it will install. getting the installer for ML might be a bit tough but it will do it.
