Where would you go to check the compatibility of your computer’s hardware before beginning a Windows 7 install (select all that apply)?
  1. Hardware Compatibility List
  2. Windows Compatibility Center
  3. System Information Tool
  4. Windows Upgrade Advisory
Explanation
Answers: B and D - You can go to the Windows Compatibility Center or use the Windows Upgrade Advisor to check for the compatibility of your system’s hardware before a Windows 7 install.

Key Takeaway: The Windows Compatibility Center can check your current system for compatibility with Windows 7 by going to the online website. Likewise, the Windows Upgrade Advisor will run when you insert the Windows 7 DVD and begin the installation. This was previously known as the Hardware Compatibility List. The system information tool provides information on the current system, so although it will be helpful, it will not check for compatibility.
