I’m getting a lot of questions from readers about upgrading to Windows 7. Here are your top questions answered.

#1: What are the system requirements for Windows 7?

The Windows 7 system requirements are very similar to those of Windows Vista, and users running Vista shouldn’t have much problems upgrading to Windows 7.

Here are the base system requirements for Windows 7:

• 1GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) CPU
• 1GB RAM for 32-bit OS, 2GB RAM for 64-bit OS
• 16GB hard disk free space for 32-bit OS, 20 GB for 64-bit OS
• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
