Windows 7 operating system is burning hot and most users would like to know whether their machine can run the OS before actually formatting and installing Microsoft Windows 7. The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor (still in beta) is described as follows—Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor scans your PC’s system, programs and devices to check if it’s able to run Windows 7. After a few minutes, the report will let you know if your PC meets the system requirements, if there are any known compatibility issues with your programs and devices, and will also provide guidance on your upgrade options to Windows 7.

The tool is supported on various operating systems—Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP Service Pack 2.

It also requires .NET framework 2.0 or higher when running in XP.

Make sure you run the upgrade advisor even if it’s still in beta, before making any decision. This should minimize the risk on your part.

Go ahead and download the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor Beta.
