No sound. running core2 duo e7500 + 4 gb of ram + windows xp pro x64. gigabyte has been no help .

From Microsoft:

If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

• 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
  

• 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
  

• 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
  

• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
  

IF your Notebook meets all other specs you would need the the above device/driver. which may or may not be compatible with the Toshiba, which was pre loaded with Windows XP.
Thanks!

HI,
chances are that you simply do not have the resources to run windows 7. These are the basic (recommended minimum), for windows 7

• 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor.
  
• 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit).
  
• 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit).
  
• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
  
• 1 more GB of RAM & 15 GB more HDD space to run 7 in XP Mode.
  

These are the typical resources that come with your machine.

D510HI

• Processor Pentium M 1.73 GHz

• Ram Installed Size 512.0 MB
• Technology DDR2 SDRAM

• Hard Drive 40.0 GB

• OS Provided Microsoft Windows XP Professional

It would probably be advisable to go back to XP
Good luck

Hello
Yes it is.
Just make sure you download or purchase Win 7 x 64.

If your doing the upgrade you need to have winxp x 64 installed on your pc first.

I personally have not but if you are concerned how it will run, you should be fine, windows 7 is very efficent on resources.

• 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
  
• 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
  
• 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
  
• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
  These are system specs so if you exceed these then your laptop will run great.
  
  Hope this helps
  

The answer is no because your motherboard still only supports 32 bit drivers. Read On.
