The answer is Mint 14 will launch just fine without damaging the hard drive. Let me explain in more detail. Access your BIOS and make sure boot priority is set to the DVD drive first. That being verified, restart the computer. It will launch the DVD before Windows 7and come up with the Mint14 options screen. The first option "Boot From Hard Drive" will work only if you have already used Gparted Partition Manager and placed a Linux partition on your hard drive yourself. It takes a while. Trust me. You cannot forget that. The other options are for 32 bit and 64 bit processors. You must know this before you start if you have a laptop, because the computer could freeze with the battery power on. Hold the power button to turn it off. If this doesn't work you would have to unplug the batter charger and then remove the battery with the laptop on (very undesirable.) For Desktop computers just pull the plug. If the monitor for your computer does not look just perfect in "Cinnamon" then reboot and select "Mate." In very rare instances of hardware probing on startup, the audio hardware may be set to a default setting which gives you no sound output. Take you mouse and click on menu, slide the pointer to "Control Center" and then slide the pointer far down to click on "Sound." When the sound window comes up Click the mouse cursor on the "Hardware" Tab. In the hardware screen just select different sound hardware detected and then select the "Test" speaker buttons. It remembers which hardware you chose last. That should get you up and running in the most difficult and unpredictable situations.

Hi Really depends on the age of your machine. This version is for system builders, meaning you'd have to wipe windows xp and install win7 fresh. This won't upgrade an existing windows installation. If your machine is older than 4 years, I'd suggest a new machine. The install took 15gb of my hard disk

Not pre-loaded, you would have to buy Windows 7 separately and do a downgrade install.

I was able to run it on Win7 Pro 64bit. Didn't require any compatibility changes or the Administrator option. Though I don't know the specs of your system, when I was playing it I had a 3.4 ghz AMD quad core, Nvidia GTX 560 Ti, and 8 gbs of 1600mhz DDR3 ram. Best answer for you: it is diffinently possible. Cheers, Matthew

Yes..without a problem. But..(I don't remember if it had an operating system on it when it arrived) unless it has the operating system on it..you'll have to use a "full blown" version of Windows 7..not the upgrade.

If it comes in a DVD form it will run on Windows 7. If it is the older version on 4 CD's it might not. It will not run on Windows 8

I would assume so. Windows 7 seems to "intuitively" know when a program needs to be interpreted using "XPmode."

Yes, I am using win 7 64bit on my machine and have very little problems. I still use the old software.
