For those of you who are interested in converting your XP/Vista to look like Windows Seven then read on.

I had been using XP with a Vista conversion for a while now and it's been fine. But the color grew old and it just didn't look as hot as it did when I first had it. Well, after remember that I tweaked my computer to Vista (I forgot that I was running a tweaked XP) I wanted to see if there were greater themes for my PC. So I went on my search which wasn't long and ended up with a XP to Seven conversion. I was excited and quickly performed the task. After eating a bowl of pho, I came back and tadaa, the installation was done so I restarted the computer. When the PC loaded back up, I had this sexy new Seven Aero look on my monitor and I was happy.

Those who are concerned about their cpu and can't confirm if they can run it, let me tell you something. I'm running a very old computer from 1999 and I'm running fine with this conversion. My computer isn't top notch nor did I maintain the computer for years. This computer although was more reliable than my newest one, which is dead, can run this conversion with minimal to unnoticeable lag.

I advise you that you should have a lot of computer knowledge before attempting this process because you may come to problems. This may harm your computer so proceed with caution.

I also took a screen of my system specifications so you can use that for your judgment.

XP is still prefer in most places AKA company. So for XP users, fear not. I do recommend windows 7 though, for those who wanna move on with the modern world but for the most part if you are still using XP, it's normal. Wink

hey rok. thanks for this. i checked it out and it's lookin pretty darn sweet. to top off the new sexy look i changed my background to megan fox in a red dress. anyway, that's beside the point. i wanna ask u about this search box that's on the desktop that i can't seem to get rid of. i noticed that it's not on your desktop so i'm curious as to how u removed it. any sort of help would be greatly appreciated. thanks again for the windows 7 transformation

Windows XP maybe going into obsolete but I am still running it along side with many other OSes such XP, Server 2003, Windows 7, etc....

XP still ROCKS!

how about music... and turn it off. go and learn what a treble cleff is, it`s much better for you.

I had my laptop upgraded to 7 once but, there were errors with my right click so went back to Vista.
