Best bet is to download, install and run the program from here.

That will tell you if your computer and peripherals are compatible.

Before you install Windows7 make your recovery discs.
Pavilion DV7-1285dx Notebook, Windows 7 64bit, Intel X2 P8600 2.40GHz, Nvidia GeForce 9600M, 6GB RAM, 2x 500GB HD(s)
