Microsoft have just released the beta of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It checks your system to see if it’s capable of running Windows 7.

You can download the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor Beta from here.

The Advisor, checks PCs running Windows XP SP2 (with .Net 2.0), Vista or release candidate versions of Windows 7.

The Advisor software can also be run on Intel-based Macs under virtualization to test for Windows 7 compatibility.

It tests whether users' PCs meet the minimum requirements of:

A 1-GHz CPU
1 GB of RAM for a 32-bit Windows 7 and 2 GB for 64-bit Windows 7
16 GB free space for 32-bit Windows 7 (20 GB for 64-bit)
and a graphics card/chip powerful enough to run the Windows Aero graphical user interface.

It’s a simple install and simple to use.

As well as checking the basic hardware requirements, it looks for Device Driver support for all onboard Devices as well as known Application Compatibility issues for your Programs.
