What boxes support windows 7 64 bit? - GSM-Forum

chunkiebone · 05-13-2013, 09:42

Hello guys can you help me out, just switched to windows 7 64bit and having a hard time to decide which box I keep.

atm I have tried ATF only for my windows 7 64 bit but haven't tried flashing with it.

Thanks.

In my opinion there's no interest to run boxes software under W7 64bits.
Keep this os for personal entertainment, and use a good old xp sp3 based pc to work.
Many boxes run well under this os, even lgtool last version writes when you start software under w7 that it's made to work in xp.
Don't mix everything.
Anyway you can try one by one, and function by function but you'll face maybe more issues, and you won't be sure if it comes from win7 or soft itself.

yeah i know xp is preferrable but i had bought a laptop without a windows xp driver and sadly i cannot use it under xp sp3 (i tried twice) it runs but no drivers can be install even those compatible ones wont work. i have sold my desktop pc already and switched to this laptop (which runs on 64 bit)

If you're experienced enough, make a double boot.

Or buy a second hand old pc, I mainly work with a pentium m laptop with 2go ram, and that makes the trick...

Or even something similar to the dell d620 (dual core) which is quite cheap now will work fine.

thanks for the suggestion though you havent read my post clearly, as i have said my laptop doesn't come with windows xp drivers, i know i can make a double boot (xp and 7) but the problem is that even though i install xp, i cannot make use of the laptop's hardware (no drivers at all)

and i also have no plans of buying another pc. something just came up and i need to upgrade to 64 bit even though i donot like it.

hope you get my point

Ok you are right, I misunderstood what you wrote, I thought you were talking about a previous laptop.

Good luck so
