Just give me a f****** answer and I will see whoever I can choose as the f****** best answer
Thanks in advanced :|

P.S.:
Sorry for my dirty language
Its just that I am really pissed off that my computer is really slow

You don't need to install Windows 7. Just reinstall Windows XP and your problems should be all cleared up. It's a bit of an undertaking though. You'll want to backup all your personal files to an external hard drive. Your programs can't be saved so you'll want to write down the product keys for software you're going to reinstall. Backup your steamapps folder if you use Steam, that's where all your games are stored so you won't have to download them all over again. Deauthorize iTunes if you use it.



Look up the chipset drivers for your motherboard and download those along with your graphics card driver. XP won't have the latest version of those and if you use the on board Ethernet or WiFi adapter then you will need those drivers to get your PC online again.



Do a clean install of the OS or use the factory image to reset your PC back to factory default. The instructions should be in the manual for your PC. If you don't have the manual then you might be able to find it on the manufacturer's web site.

After you get Windows and your network driver installed, run Windows Update and download everything it suggests. This will take a while since XP has had tons of patches over its lifetime. Once you've finished that phase you can reinstall your programs and move over your files.

For upgrading purposes, choosing 32-bit(also called x86) or 64-bit(x64) will largely depend on how much RAM you want to use.

Get 32-bit if you have less than 4GB RAM. You will need 64-bit to use 4GB RAM or more.



Besides that there are some other PROs and CONs for either choice. For example, an obvious CON for 32-bit is that it cannot support 4GB+ RAM. However, the PRO for 32-bit is that essentially all Windows-friendly software&hardware can be expected to work with it (The same cannot be said of 64-bit, which sometimes requires special drivers for hardware, or special versions of programs in order to run them)



P.S.: If the problem is that your computer is running slowly on WinXP, upgrading to Win7 will not necessarily help the problem - in fact it will probably make the problem worse. Win7 is bigger, and will expect more from your hardware. Not to mention that much of your hardware/software that runs perfectly on WinXP now can (and often will) stop working entirely when you switch to Win7.

I've had this problem, it is induced by means of Linux partitions which are still on the drive however that you just cannot see or do away with with the home windows 7 installer. Use a live Linux CD such as your Ubuntu disk besides up the pc and remove the partitions. You have got to boot from the CD on account that you will not be able to delete the partitions for those who boot from the variation of Ubuntu hooked up on your difficult power, considering the fact that they'll be in use.

Well....changing the OS isn't going to make your computer faster...but generally using the 64 bit will give you more "head room" Faster "speed comes with a faster processor, the chip set that will handle it, the higher speed ram (and more than 4GB) and a higher end video card (with the PSU that can power it all safely) If you upgrading the OS for whatever reason...chose the 64 bit...

hmm, we cant tell you which will be better for u if we dont know your computer's specs: Processor, videocard, ram and motherboard... But if your computer is slow at windows xp I think it will be better 32 bit win 7, however if you have under 4 gb of ram or under 4 cores in your processor you will defenetly need 32 bit, in my opinion Windows 7 home premium should do the job C:

that depends on other specs and what would you do with the computer (eg- gaming, work etc.) in the case of low specs if your pc is already slow on winxp then i dont think upgrading to win7 will be a wise idea, win7 needs more powerful hardware and in turn would slow the device more and about 32 and 64 bit that also depends :D they are types of architectures that your processor use if u hav a 32 bit processor then winxo 32 will be supported and vice versa

Stop swearing. It seriously makes people want to answer you less. Now onto the question...

If anything, windows seven will make your computer run slower. But if you insist on it it works like this. 1-3GB of RAM, 32-Bit, 4+, 64-Bit.



Now it's time for the better option. Linux. I tend to advertise it much but that's because of its speed. It can extend the life of a slow computer by at least another year. So getting Mint, Ubuntu or Debian will seriously speed up your computer.
