What I have l earned so far about using Thin PC.ġ. The HP is currently on Vista Ultimate 32-bit and it's even slower than 7 no surprise about that! Will post back on what Thin PC is like. Although Windows 7 OK-ish, it was pretty slow on that single-core CPU (it was using a faster and bigger hard drive back when it was running Windows 7 than it is now to speed things up a bit), but I reckon Windows Thin PC will run fine on it. This system was running Windows 7 Professional 圆4 from about June to December last year, it was my main machine before I built my new desktop I'm using now at the end of December last year. I will be trying out Thin PC on the following system: I put this post in the Windows 7 forum as Thin PC is basically Windows 7.

It's basically a thinned out version of Windows 7 designed to run on holder hardware that cannot run the full Windows 7 we've been used to properly, so a bit like Windows FLP. I figured I'd give this a try as you can download a 30 day trial. A bit like Windows FLP, only based on Windows 7 this time.
