This seems to be a cool extension of the troubleshooting in Vista but here it goes the extra step. It actually seems to get more granular about giving you detailed directions on how to fix the problems.
Microsoft has published their minimum specifications for a system running Windows 7.
Requirements for the 32-bit version are much the same as recommendations for premium editions of Vista, but the 64-bit version’s are considerably higher.
Microsoft has released a beta version of an upgrade advisor that scans a computer to see if it is compatible with Windows 7.
The minimum requirements for running Windows 7 are as follows:
Windows 7 32-Bit: 1GHz Processor, 1 GB RAM, 16GB Disk Space
Windows 7 64-Bit: 1GHz Processor, 2 GB RAM, 20GB Disk Space
It is worth noting that the 32-bit version still cannot address more than 3GB memory, while the 64-bit version can use up to 192 GB RAM.
