Can Compaq Presario Model x1220US be upgraded from Windows XP Home Edition to Windows 7?

Yes you can however HP only supports Windows XP (32-Bit), Windows Vista (32 and 64 Bit) No official support for windows 7.

However Most modern PC's will run windows 7 and most drivers are available. Upgrade at your own risk.... There might be some drivers that you wont find and may cause problems with your PC.

But why upgrade to 64bit if you are not upgrading memory to 4GB+?

See Windows 7 system requirements Microsoft Windows

hi theres a site that may help you HP Compaq Presario SR1620NX drivers for Windows XP

Most likely you will have problem trying to install windows XP in a windows 7. It is better to use a virtual machine on your windos 7 instead. Windows XP mode will not work on a Home edition of Windows 7. you can download the Virtual machine in this link: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=4580
Once you have downloaded and install this run it. then install the XP on this mode by -run the virtual machine -go through the setup -insert the installation disk -wait for the installation is complete
Then every time you will run the virtual machine it will go to the XP that you installed.
hope this helps

Hi there,
Your current operating system is most likely a version of windows. Depending on your model and type of computer, you may have any of the following versions of windows:
Windows 98 Windows 98SE WIndows ME
Windows XP Home Edition Windows XP Professional Edition
Windows Vista Home Basic Edition Windows Vista Home Premium Edition Windows Vista Business Edition Windows Vista Enterprise Edition Windows Vista Ultimate Edition
Windows 7 Starter Windows 7 Home Basic Windows 7 Home Premium Windows 7 Professional Windows 7 Enterprise Windows 7 Ultimate Windows Thin PC

This system does support an upgrade form ME to XP but you need to first purchase an upgrade cd.

keep in mind that windows xp will no longer be supported by microsoft and at the price tag of 89-129$USD for the home edition you may just want to buy a cheap replacement computer.

if you do go to upgrade, once you get the cd you boot to ME. place the cd in and follow the instructions. The process is rather simple and straight forward.

Compaq computer and HP generally have all the drivers in XP when coming from ME. You may not have to do anything other than just use the XP upgrade feature.

not its possible.... that resolution come with the LCD of the laptop and the only way its buying a lcd screen that support more resolution.. Pls click if my solution was helpful

you have to check the speed of the pc then you may have to get a new one

Hi tross202;
Is that an original XP home edition installer? You may try another cd installer if you can secure one.

1. You have to update your computer.
2. And check your ink toner.
