Minimum ram and hdd space need for windows 7

What is the minimum of ram and hdd space memory to use with windows 7. Is the windows 7 faster than vista on the same machine ? thansk
Nothing is impossible

Sorry, but I disagree fundamentally here. While it is true that RAM prices have come down since XP was released, there are many machines out there for which you can't just buy regular RAM around the corner. Either because the systems were designed so that only a certain amount of RAM can be used (e.g., 128 MB on one of my VAIOs) or because they use a special socket or because you are not allowed to open the case or for whatever other reason you can think of.
I am not necessarily complaining. But I frequently hear that Microsoft wants to sell Windows 7 upgrades to XP owners. So if Microsoft wants to upgrade XP owners to Windows 7, they should better make sure that technical requirements are less or equal to those of XP.
And no, it's not given by nature that newer OSes always need to become fatter, slower, and more RAM hungry: have a look at Mac OS X which actually improved performance over the past releases, even on older machines. 
Also, before you flame me, I'm not just caring about "museum age" computers. I bought a netbook just months ago and it came with 1 GB of RAM. Warranty is void if I open the case. So I can't "just" upgrade to more than 1 GB RAM.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Yes, you can install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit in your Mac using Parallels for Mac. Just follow the instructions of the virtualization programs during the install. Should you need any assistance with the installation process, I strongly recommend contacting Parallels Tech Support (you must register with Parallels in order to have tech support).
    Alternatively, you can always use Apple's BootCamp if you want to run Windows natively in your Mac. Check their support page, Apple has a lot of good links explaining this solution.
    Hope this helps!

  • Which Apple MacBook Pro has the most RAM and HDD memory?

    I would like to know this because I plan on buying a MacBook Pro and I just want to make sure I'm buying the one with the most RAM and HDD memory and not some other one. Why do I need specifically this? Because I'm a gamer; I like playing games. I'm a watcher too; I like watching movies. Last but not least, I would like to sync my iPhone to a device that's from the same company. I don't know why, but I guess it's because I don't like uncoordination, or something like that. In short, I don't believe in "clashing". Even electronics.

    The Hardware In Any Mac is Exactly the same as used in Any PC of like model year and included hardware. i7 being faster then an i5 CPU.
    Apple uses the same exact Intel CPUs and Chipsets that all other computer use manfacturer today. There is No difference.
    Ogelthorpe is comppletely correct that Windows, by nature of the OS, is better for running games and the hardware it comes on, by nature of the way they are manufactured even though it is the same hardware as in a Mac, is better for gaming because of the way they are cooled and the overall case design. More air vents and better air movement across the parts that get hot while gaming.
    Mac notebooks on the other hand don't cool as well by nature of the air intake and exhaust systems. Both air intake and exhaust are at the screen hinge and the fans are designed to be quieter then on most Windows PC notebooks. Even if Windows is installed on Mac that Mac will run hotter then a PC with the same exact hardware configurations. This is a fact and experienced by many Mac users. Including myself.
    Mac fans run all the time. From the second you start them up to the second they shut down completely. I personally don't know of any Windows PC notebook that do that. My Dell E6420 with the exact same CPU and more RAM, 16GBs in the Dell and 8 in my Mac, with the Dell having 2 drives, one a SSD the other a Spinner in the media bay, and the Mac having only one Seagate XT series in the main bay the Dell fans rarely come on unless I am taxing the system in some way. They are not on continuously and certainly not when I turn the system on. So Apple has designed the Mac to run the fans continuously to try and keep the system cool from the first power on.
    So your statement is completely false. But it is what most people think even though it is unfounded.

  • How to test RAM and HDD (Hard Drive).

    Introduction
    HP machines have built-in Bios testers for RAM and HDD's.
    To use them you need to enter Bios by pressing F10 on startup. They are placed under ' Diagnostics menu '.
    Why I wrote this guide and complicate whole situation?
    There are three reasons:
    This testers are not so great and sometimes they do not detect problems which you may have with your hardware. It's recommended to use more advanced tester for RAM and manufacter diagnostic programs to test HDD's.
    Not always you will be able to enter Bios. Sometimes corrupted hardware is blocking possibility to run it.
    Advanced diagnostic softwares for hard drives allow to fix some problems.

    Ad. A
    There are few possibilities to run this program. In this guide I will present how to run it from:
    CD
           and
    USB Flash Drive.
    First we need to burn Memtest86+ on a CD or prepare properly USB Flash drive with a special tool.
    Here you will find Memtest86+ home page from which you will be able to download correct version of this software.
    Solution 1. CD:
            Download ' Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.zip) ' and extract it with 7-Zip(free) or WinRar.
            Download CDBurnerXP from here. Install this program and run it.
            Choose ' Browse ISO image '.
            and point Memtest86+ iso file.
            Click ' Burn disc '.
            Wait until burning process will finish.
            Choose ' OK '.
            Exit from program.
    Solution 2. USB Flash Drive:
             Download ' Auto-installer for USB Key (Win 9x/2k/xp/7) ' and extract it with 7-Zip(free) or WinRar.
             Connect USB Flash Drive to one of USB ports. Run ' Memtest86+ 4.10 USB Installer '.
             Click ' I Agree '.
             Select USB Flash Drive and check box to format it.
         Caution!
              Format process will erase all information from USB Flash Drive. If you have there something important then please backup this data first.
               Choose ' Create '.
               Wait until process will finish and click ' Next '.
               Exit from program by choosing ' Finish '.
    How to run Memtest86+.
    Leave USB Flash drive in USB port or CD in CD/DVD drive. Restart your system and on startup press F9 key repetitively:
    After this step you will be able to select from which device you want to boot. Choose from the list ' USB Hard Drive ' if you have prepared USB Flash Drive (like on below photo) or ' Optical Disk Drive ' if you have prepared CD:
    How to use Memtest86+ to test RAM?
    Do at least 2 - 3 passes. In Errors column may show up only 0. If it's other number then you need to replace corrupted RAM stick.

  • Space needed for AutoCAD, Pro/E in Bootcamp

    I am entering college in the fall and am planning to go into mechanical engineering. This means I will need to run several engineering programs such as AutoCAD and Pro/E on my 13" MacBook Pro. How much space should I give windows 7 to be able to run these programs comfortably?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    40GB for Windows 7 alone is considered a good choice round here.
    Add to that the amount of diskspace needed by the programs you want to install/use plus the space needed for your files.
    I don't run Autocad or something similar so I am not familiar with the diskpace it and the user files need.
    Regards

  • Equium L40 HDD sata drivers for Windows 7

    I have Equium L40 17M (PLS49E) running XP... and i want to install Windows 7 and cant.... i need the sata HDD drivers .
    But i cannot find these anywere.. i tried the Toshiba driver site and some other driver sites .
    I had the same problem when i wanted to go from Vista to XP
    And found out i just needed to add the HDD Sata driver into the ISO i was making
    I having tried the Vista drivers in it
    So does anyone know were the Windows 7 HDD sata drivers are (storage manager)
    or if i can use the Vista ones
    Thanks
    Joepeash

    Hi
    Normally you can get all drivers on the Toshiba page:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    I have checked the page and it seems that for Windows 7 not all drivers available. So as you already wrote you can try the Vista driver because the most of them are also work on Windows 7.
    Alternative you can check the Intel page. Maybe there you can find a newer driver that was official released for Windows 7.
    If you dont know how to use this driver exactly, use the forum search. You will find hundreds of threads. ;)

  • Rescue and Recovery 4.3 for Windows 7, installation

    Hello,
    I purchased my system June 16, 2009 with Vista downgraded to XP Pro so I was not able to purchase a upgrade disk from Lenovo.
    This week I purchased the Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium upgrade package at a local store.
    I did the upgrade (clean install) Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium on my ThinkPad T400 type 2764-CTO. Also successfully installed all Win 7 64 bit ThinkVantage software with System Update 4.
    I downloaded Rescue and Recovery 4.3 for Windows 7
    The documentation for the installation of R&R 4.3 is difficult to comprehend and I could not find a post on this board that deals with my topic.
    The recommended procedure before installing Rescue and Recovery on computers running the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 is:
    you must download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (x64) SP1.
    That was done with no problems!
    To make the Rescue and Recovery program work with Sysprepbackup in the Windows 7 operating system, you must download and install the Sysprepbackup accessory package.
    The Sysprepbackup operation changes in the Windows 7 operating system because a new version of Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) is built in the Windows 7 operating system. When you run the System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) and use the /generalize option, the Sysprep operation disables Windows RE by removing the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) entry to the Rescue and Recovery Pre Desktop Area (PDA). To make the Rescue and Recovery program work with Sysprepbackup in the Windows 7 operating system, you must download and install the Sysprepbackup accessory package.
    and here starts my problem installing the package!
    Instruction:
    To install the accessory package in the Windows 7 operating system and take a Sysprepbackup on a USB hard disk drive, do the following:
    Type the following commands to start the Sysprepbackup process using administrative privileges: cd "\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery" rrcmd sysprepbackup location=U name="sysprep backup" The "...run sysprep now..." message displays. Note: Before you take a Sysprep backup on the USB hard disk drive, make sure that there is at least one backup on your local hard disk drive.
    Go to the C:\Windows\Systme32\Sysprep directory and launch the sysprep.exe file. The System Preparation Tool window opens.
    Be sure to select Quit from the Shutdown Options drop-down list box. Click OK to save the setting. The Sysprep process begins.
    When the Sysprep process is completed, run the msi file that you downloaded using administrative privileges. Wait until the package is successfully installed.
    Restart your system. Then, it will automatically boot to the PDA to continue with the Sysprepbackup process on the USB hard disk drive. For the detailed parameters about the restore operation commands using RRCMD, refer to the Rescue and Recovery 4.3 Deployment Guide. Software versions to use with this release.
    3.At the end Install the Rescue and Recovery 4.3 package.
    Ok that should be simple to do.
    What is "Sysprepbackup" and do I need to follow the installation procedure above to be able to install and run Rescue and Recovery 4.3 for Windows 7. I dont think I need to or want to do a "Sysprepbackup on a USB hard disk drive". or may be I will when I understand what it is.
    Can I simply install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (x64) SP1 and  the  the Rescue and Recovery 4.3 package.
    Thank you
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I installed Win 7 Pro 64 on my T400, ran TVSU and installed R&R 4.3. Fortunately, I didn't read those instructions first, or I might not have done it
    Have you tried just installing R&R? If it needs anything else, it should ask for it during the install. IIRC, it does require the VCC+ package.

    How Big of a partition do I need for Windows XP? And to be able to run visual Basics program?

    Nobody can answer that question with any certainty because we don't know your computing needs and what specific apps you're going to isntall.
    Regardless, this forum is for the troubleshooting the installation of OS X, not Boot Camp, and you'll probably want to post your question over in the Boot Camp forums:

  • Using NIC Teaming and a virtual switch for Windows Server 2012 host networking and Hyper-V.

    Using NIC Teaming and a virtual switch for Windows Server 2012 host networking!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mOuoIWzmdE
    Hi thanks for reading. Now I may well have my terminology incorrect here so I will try to explain  as best I can and apologies from the start.
    It’s a bit of both Hyper-v and Server 2012R2. 
    I am setting up a lab with Server 2012 R2. I have several physical network cards that I have teamed called “HostSwitchTeam” from those I have made several Virtual Network Adaptors such as below
    examples.
    New-VMSwitch "MgmtSwitch" -MinimumBandwidthMode weight -NetAdaptername "HostSwitchTeam" -AllowManagement $false
    Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "Vswitch" -SwitchName "MgmtSwitch"
    Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "Cluster" -SwitchName "MgmtSwitch"
    When I install Hyper-V and it comes to adding a virtual switch during installation it only shows the individual physical network cards and the
    HostSwitchTeam for selection.  When installed it shows the Microsoft Network Multiplexor Driver as the only option. 
    Is this correct or how does one use the Vswitch made above and incorporate into the Hyper-V so a weight can be put against it.
    Still trying to get my head around Vswitches,VMNetworkadapters etc so somewhat confused as to the way forward at this time so I may have missed the plot altogether!
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Paul
    Paul Edwards

    Hi P.J.E,
    >>I have teams so a bit confused as to the adapter bindings and if the teams need to be added or just the vEthernet Nics?.
    Nic 1,2 
    HostVMSwitchTeam
    Nic 3,4,5
             HostMgmtSwitchTeam
    >>The adapter Binding settings are:
    HostMgmtSwitchTeam
    V-Curric
    Nic 3
    Nic 4
    Nic 5
    V-Livemigration
    HostVMSwitch
    Nic 1
    Nic 2
    V-iSCSI
    V-HeartBeat
    Based on my understanding of the description , "HostMgmtSwitchTeam and
    HostVMSwitch " are teamed NIC .
    You can think of them as two physical NICs (do not use NIC 1,2,3,4,5 any more , there are just two NICs "HostMgmtSwitchTeam and
    HostVMSwitch").
    V-Curric,
    V-Livemigration , V-iSCSI ,
    V-HeartBeat are just VNICs of host  (you can change their name then check if the virtual switch name will be changed )

  • M6-n010dx RAM and HDD upgrade

    Hello,
    i was thinking of upgrading the RAM and HDD of my laptop but was not sure if the products i selected are compatible.
    My concerns arise from the fact that the n010dx has AMD processors.
    If someone would confirm that the chosen parts are compatible, it would be great.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions. No questions are too basic, as we all have to start somewhere.
    Emac models are best differentiated by the CPU speed.
    You can go to the Menu item  About this Mac will tell you the CPU speed.
    From what you have said it sounds like a later model eMac.
    is there some kind of issue that arises when one installs more than 1gb?
    No, it is just that when these eMacs came out the highest RAM module made at the 333 Mhz speed was 512Mb. Later the manufacturers made 1Ghz modules, thus doubling the capacity from the original specifications. Keep in mind there are two slots for these modules. 1Ghz X 2 = 2 Ghz maximum.
    Also, I have noticed that my apple is quite noisy; whilst it doesn't sound like a worringly noisy computer, how much noise of this is due to the harddrive?
    None of it is due to the hard drive. Hard drive noise is intermittent and barely noticeable. The noise is the roaring of the fan. eMacs are notable for their robust and noisy fan.
    Replacing the hard disk in an eMac requires quite some dissassembly.
    Someone else may post disassembly links as I my old ones don't work anymore, and you may also get more detail about your RAM questions.
