It scans your PC for potential compatibility issues and lets you know about your Windows 7 upgrade options. Within a few minutes, you’ll get a detailed report that tells you if your PC meets the system requirements. If any known compatibility issues with your hardware, devices, and installed programs are found, it gives you guidance on what to do to before installing Windows 7 on your PC.

Before you install and run this tool, make sure to plug in and turn on any USB devices or other devices, such as printers, external hard disks, and scanners, that you regularly use with the PC you’re checking so that it can perform the compatibility check on all your hardware devices.
