Yes. A Pentium 4 would more than meet the minimum requirements. Some of the last low-end computers with Pentium 4s were sold with Windows Vista. If you are performing an upgrade on an older computer, you will also want to consider things like RAM and your graphics card in your decision.

∙ 13y agoYes we can, I did installed windows 7 on a Pentium4 with out any problem.
How ever if u have old graphic cards it might give an issue with the aero themes, which can be addressed by increasing the integrated memory to 8mb in BIOS.
Best thing to do would be to install the windows7 comparability tester. you can find it in Microsoft web site.

∙ 14y agoWhile Windows 7 is binary-compatible with a Pentium II, you would need at least 256 MB of RAM to even technically boot the system. A Pentium II is far below the official minimum requirements for Windows 7, and you would have trouble finding drivers for some of the hardware.

∙ 10y agoYes, the official CPU requirement for Windows 7 32-bit is simply a x86 CPU clocked at 1 Ghz or above. Any Intel Pentium 4 meets those technical specifications.
For Windows 7 64-bit, it depends on model of Pentium 4 : first models don't support x86-64 instructions but the newer models fully support them.
Nowadays, a lot of netbooks with single core Atom are shipped with Windows 7 despite the fact that power processing of these netbooks is significantly below most Pentium 4-based system (especially Pentium 4 with HyperThreading)

Which computer is compatible with Windows 98 IBM or Apple?
Neither one is a particular computer (they are manufacturers, not model names), and neither has a product lineup solely compatible or incompatible with Windows 98. IBM made several workstations with PowerPC processors that obviously cannot run Windows 98, and newer Macs have Intel processors that can run Windows 98, though the hardware is not fully compatible.
What computer board supports Windows 98 SE?
Windows 98 Second Addition ran on a number of different motherboards. The main thing was if the motherboard had drivers that would work under Windows 98. In some cases, Windows 95 or Windows ME drivers would be satisfactory substitutions. The main types of boards that supported Windows 98 SE were either Socket 7 (Intel Pentium and AMD K6, K6/2, K6/3) or Socket A (AMD Duron and Athlon).
What can you reuse and what do you need to upgrade an Intel Pentium II 350 running Windows 98 to an Intel Pentium 4 2.4 gig running Windows XP?
You can reuse the hard drive and CD drive, but they may be too small / too slow for your needs. You will need a new case (Pentium 4s need more airflow through the case), a new motherboard, new RAM, and a new power supply. If you use IDE drives in your new system, you can reuse the cables; if SATA, you will need SATA cables.
