    Resolved [RESOLVED] Windows 7 Update advisor

    I ran the 7 update advisor on my PC this morning and it says that my current graphics adapter will not support Windows Aero. Is that because I need to DL Vista/7 drivers instead of the XP drivers I am using now?

    I also see that Outlook Express is no longer available with 7, honestly I use that program all the time and really hate to lose it. Does 7 include a mail client like outlook?

    First question answer. Drivers will not upgrade your video card. You need a new card.

    Windows 7 does not come with Outlook as that is part of Microsoft Office. I'm using Windows Live Mail on my Windows 7. It's free and you can download it from Microsoft after you install Windows 7.

    Sometimes, Microsoft's advisor software just doesn't work correctly. As ylen said, it will be fine. I've an older card and I run Windows 7 RC with Aero features.
