Installation of 64-bit version of Windows 7 on T60

#1 Post by Marie-Anne » Fri Oct 02, 2009 9:18 pm

I'm considering to install Windows 7, 64-bit version on my T60.

Did anyone succeeded to install the 64-bit version of Windows 7 on this Thinkpad model and experienced any difficulties during installation?

I'm looking for advice!

Thanks!!

Please note that downloading and installing does not always place things at c:\Drivers. Often the features are installed right away.

I had it on my R60. It had all the drivers already. You'd need only to install any ThinkVantage Tools you'd want.

@FredGarvin & mgo

Thank you both for your to-the-point replies and the very usefull suggestions and links to drivers and software!

I'm now confident that the installation of a 64-bit Windows 7 (Enterprise) version can be initiated by me without (major) hickups.

Best regards from The Netherlands,
