How are you planning to update the drivers before you even install Windows? 🙂 Unless I'm totally missing something here... 😕

Hahahha, I totally phrased that wrong—just realized it now 😁 No worries, if any issues pop up during or after the install, I'll let you know 😁

Just one more thing... 😁 Should I go ahead and update my drivers right now, or would it be better to wait until after everything is installed?

Larry Ortiz5 said:It’ll work fine, but honestly... you might want to think about throwing in at least another 1GB of RAM if you can.

Right, so the PC is basically just for browsing the web, watching movies, maybe some Microsoft Office stuff... nothing crazy or high-end 😁 I just really need to make sure it doesn't lag too much during those "everyday" tasks 😁

Oh, one more thing—is it possible to format the C drive right before the installation starts? Like, could I just wipe the disk first and then kick off the installer? I'm running pretty low on free space at the moment...

Quick question—can I actually run Windows 7 on a machine with just 1 GB of RAM? When I pull up Speccy, it shows about 896 MB available... 😁 Basically, is it doable? And if I go through with it, am I looking at a total snail-paced disaster or will it be okay?...
