Can My Motherboard Support Windows 7?

[nathanielcs]

I have a: ConRoe1333-D667 R2.0 - Motherboard
(Old, I know 😀)

Its says that it only supports up to windows vista, I have a windows xp home edition SP3 32 bit
Are there any drivers that will make this motherboard support windows 7, or not?

It would be great for a quick answer because, I might try to get windows 7 64 bit on to my computer.
I have linked the motherboard details.
It is also made by ConRoe I think

Computer Specs:
Operating System:
Windows XP Home Edition SP3 32-bit
Hopefully Upgrading to Windows 7

CPU:
Intel Pentium E2180 2.00GHz (Conroe 65nm Technology)
Hopefully soon upgrading my CPU to: Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 - 2.13 GHz

RAM:
2.00GB Single-Channel DDR2 @266 MHz
Will upgrade when I am installing windows 7.

Motherboard:
ConRoe1333-D667 (CPUSocket)

Graphics:
(This is on a 1366 x 768@60Hz moniter)
1024MB NVIDIA GeForce 210 (CardExpert Technology)
Hopefully Upgrading to Geforce 550 GTX Ti by EVGA

74GB Seagate ST380011A (ATA)
232GB MAXTOR STM3250310AS (SATA)

Sorry if this is too much information, I thought it would be helpful 😀
Also if people think I have a very low end computer, I have a higher end windows 7 CPU that others use in my family.

Thanks for helping if you can 😀

In some instances, Windows Vista Drivers will work for Windows 7 systems, but it's not a 100% guarantee.

Hi

Check the inel web site for motherboard chipset driver availability
Check sound chip driver availability
Conroe refers to Intel processor model not motherboard manufacturer
CPU-z will show motherboard make and model as well as cpu details

Check availability & cost of extra ram probably ddr-2
No point of using 64 bit windows unless more than 4 GB of ram installed
