Does Windows XP work on Windows 7?
Most XP drivers from what I've seen so far work great in Windows 7. XP drivers for the most part work much better in Windows 7 than under Vista. Oddly, even older signed XP drivers work fine in Windows 7 without driver signing warnings.
How can you find your registration key on your computer?
It generally comes with the software. If you purchase the software as a download it commonly comes in the form of an e-mail. If you had the key and then lost it, contact the manufacture of the software. If you registered your software most companies can tell you what your product key was. If not they will generally issue you a replacement number right there over the phone or in an e-mail. Don't use keys that another user gives you or that you find online. It's not legal and you can potentially get into some real trouble doing it.

Can you install windows 7 in dell optiplex GX270 having 1gb ram and 3.0 GHZ processor?
NO
Actually, you can (I have), but it's not worth it.
You can install a hacked tiny version of Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron 2500.
But unless you have 512mb of memory, you won't be able to run a single thing without having to wait an extreme amount of time. Even with 512MB (which is the maximum, if you believe the manual provided by Dell) it won't be pretty.
Advantages disadvantages of Windows XP?
Windows series are excellent products of Microsoft. Although some technology of Windows is not as good as UNIX, they are still of the best operating systems running on PCs. Products of Linux are cheap, but they are not supported by so many kinds of software as Windows series are.
Can you install Windows 7 on a Pentium III?
Yes, 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.
About 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)
Can you run Windows 7 on a Dell Dimension e521?
I'd say no right now ...
I have tried to get the e521 working without success using the RTM version of Windows 7. When copying files, the system generally freezes up (no mouse, no keyboard, no activity at all). I then need to do a hard-reboot. This is using a new hard disk, and a clean install of Win7. I have also tried updating drives from Windows Update, and using available Vista drivers. Nothing works... This same system was up for months without any crashes using Windows XP and is going back to XP.
If Microsoft fixes whatever issues it has with this hardware, I'd then say yes with the memory caveat listed below.
Yes. If yours was equipped with 512 MB of RAM, you will probably want to upgrade it to at least 1 GB (the machine supports up to 4 GB).
ADDED 23 Jan 2010: It looks like a definite NO. When I ran the Dell-branded Win 7 Upgrade Assistant it clearly stated that the E521 is not compatible with Windows 7 (although it does meet the hardware requirements) and refused to continue with the Upgrade Installation that i wanted. I doubt if Microsoft has any issues to fix. It is Dell that has failed to release suitable drivers for their E521, or for other Dimension PCs.
COMMENT 10 April 2010: I (not original author of this reply) am running Windows 7 64-bit on my Dimension E521 (4MB memory, bios 1.1.4) works great and had no problem installing.
Comment 25 July 2010: (not original author) I am also running Win 7 (64-bit) on my Dimension E521 and have been for about 6 months. Technically it was an upgrade from XP, but in reality it is a clean install and requires you to reload all of your programs, update drivers, etc. I recommend upgrading the RAM to 4GB, it will run noticeably faster. Also, the Aero user interface has somewhat limited functionality with the stock video card, but nothing major, just some limited visual effects. Upgrading the video card will fix this, but that may also require upgrading the power supply.

Why would a Computer randomly shut down and then must try many times to restart power?
