It will tell you if there are drivers etc. for all your components. As long as all your peripherals are plugged in, it will tell you if they are compatible with Windows 7 also.

I thought I'd jump in a little late in the game and tell KayC and everyone that I've been playing Morrowind on Windows 7 for a few months and it's been doing great with no patches or tweaking or anything. I was thrilled! Just wanted to share that---and to say, I'm not looking forward to Windows 8! Not yet...nooooo! LOL Tracy “It is never too late to be what you might have been.” ― George Eliot

I have been surprised that some of the older games work great on windows 7. I'm not ready for windows 8 either. I'm still learning 7. Kay
