Hello all,
My knowledge of computers is lacking, but I am attempting to upgrade to Windows 7, and have run into some problems with my install.
I'm running an HP Pavilion dv4000 Laptop, with plenty of ram, space, etc. The graphics setup I have, however, is where the problem seems to originate. I have a Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family, and DirectX version 11, to my knowledge. My laptop had been running XP, and I did a clean install to Vista Home Premium (Which I had other computers running anyway), in an attempt to upgrade to Windows 7. I am currently running Vista.
I am not certain how to proceed with updating to Windows 7. Do I need to purchase a new graphics card?
Thank you everyone, for your consideration and support.
