Please tell us what stopped you. I just reinstalled Windows 7 from a W7 SP1 DVD last month and I have to write this is now an expert only install as so much is broken now. The web browser right off the DVD fails to let us onto so many https sites so I had to go get a patch then install Chrome from another memory stick and finally I could go get drivers and more.
As such I’m calling Windows 7 installs much too hard for most.
As such you have to try the install and see what does and does not work. There is “no support” for these older Windows versions. That doesn’t mean they won’t install or run but you are left without any support and you must tell us what happened when you tried.
