Upgrading Pavilion a1320in to Windows 7

[sohambanerjee]

I have a HP Pavilion a1320in computer currently running Windows XP Professional SP3 and wish to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit). I know that I have to perform a clean installation.

My system configuration is as follows -
RAM - 2GB DDR2
HDD - 160GB
Processor - Intel Pentium 4 524
Graphics - ATI Radeon Xpress 200 (256MB)

My BIOS version is 3.24 for RC 410-M Motherboard. But while reading up on the net I found that there were some problems regarding the installation getting stuck inspite of meeting the Windows 7 Requirements.

I want advise on how to resolve the issue and can I use ATI's driver for Windows Vista on Windows 7 since ATI does not support this version.

I HAVE USED WINDOWS 7 UPGRADE ADVISOR AND IT HAS SHOWN THAT MY SYSTEM CAN RUN WINDOWS 32 BIT VERSION

Run the upgrade advisor to make sure that drivers are available.

Although the hardware may meet the requirements, the fact is that HP has never released any Vista or Windows 7 drivers for that model.
Therefore, unless Windows 7 has all the correct drivers for your hardware, that could be a problem.
