My old XP computer has been running Windows 7 with no problems for the past several years. This is a 2003 desktop that I built and has had several hardware changes (more ram, new video card, new dvd rom) but is using the original motherboard and cpu. windows 7 runs flawlessly on it.

My WinXP HP Media center m1070n is used for storing family photos (and also backed up on DVD’s). I see no reason to update it. (Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.)

My primary unit is a WINDOWS 7 HP Pavilion Slimline s5710f PC, and it works fine. I will be giving that unit a FREE PC checkup + Tune Up from OfficeMax. (I have had minor issues with it.)

buying memory for an older computer can cost almost as much as buying a new computer ,so don’t fall into the money pit

Novice questioner here. You said your XP in now running Windows7. How did you do that? Did you just buy a Windows7 disk and install it on your computer?

And what happened to all the programs, files, etc. that you had on that computer? Does a Windows7 install wipe everything clean?
