Gateway GT4026E I am currently running the above software/hardware payload on Gateway PC. With support ending this month for XP I want to upgrade to Win7. |
You will see these operating systems listed:
Windows XP 32-bit/64-bit
Windows Vista 32-bit/64-bit
Windows XP 32-bit/64-bit has the drivers for the ATI graphics/chipset, Realtek audio, and Realtek ethernet devices.
Windows Vista 32-bit/64-bit does not list any of those drivers.
I'm pretty sure that the install of Windows Vista or Windows 7 will install the drivers for the Realtek devices, but I'm not sure about the ATI devices.
You may need to install a ATI or NVIDIA chip video card that supports Windows Vista or Windows 7.
That desktop supports a maximum of 2 GB of RAM, so don't install Windows Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit.
Stick with the 32-bit version.
