dv6618eo Entertainment: Windows 7

‎08-13-2009 03:09 PM

Hello, HP community.

I got a two year old HP Pavilion Media Center dv6618eo Entertainment Notebook PC and I am wondering about Windows 7 - will my computer "make it", do all these amazing functions this computer got. It's the perfect school computer and I really won't buy a new one, so I'll be waiting until 22th October 09 with Win7's final release. 

 

Anyways, these amazing functions - will they work with a new operating system like Windows 7? I'm thinking of the Quickplay-functions, the controller (for presentations etc etc) Will it come any uptates for the computer even though the production has ended? Or, will I be stuck with Vista x32 forever on this PC?

 

Thanks for all answers.

Your laptop and it functions should all work fine under Windows 7.  If you do a clean install of Win 7 and need any drivers you can use your Vista drivers page.Or copy C:\SwSetup folder to dvd before the clean install.It contains drivers and application installers that can be used after.
