I have an absolutely legal end-user Win 7 Pro Installation disk and unused license number.
I tried to install it to replace Win XP Pro on a 5-yr-old Dell.
There was a diagnostic which said that the Dell was incompatible and something about ACPI. Maybe I'm supposed to flash the BIOS with a newer version. This Win XP PC is vital and I won't try flashing the BIOS until a suitable Win 7 PC is in house.
Am I too conservative about flashing the BIOS?
