So weird ( win xp to win7)
Was cleaning an old laptop of mine that i wanted to send to Morocco to my uncle, and decided to put windows 7 on it, when I started, it said that it was impossible cause my xp was too old ( laptop from 2006) and i gave up and ran some tools to clean it up and help boost it. When I restarted the Laptop, i see windows 7 boot logo and was like wtf am I high or what, and apparently it installed perfectly, except for Aero effects cause the graphics card was too old.
I also added a 2GB ram stick which helped it a lot. I'm so prouf of myself, and confused, but mostly happy cause i could help out my uncle in Morocco. Shew'em the love baby xD

Did you know that you can add RAM with a USB drive? You put the USB in and click a few options (I'm too lazy to look it up again) and it can be set up as RAM, as long as you never unplug it. So you could give that computer 8GB of RAM if you have an 8GB USB.

Yeah i know, but 2GB stick and made into ram is not like a slot of ram, plus i wasn't even planning on turning it into win 7 so i had to buy one. My grand father payed for it.

BTW using ram from a usb drive is just page file, nothing compared to real R.A.M .
