Hi, Just got that old machine, Win7, and I wonder if Uberstudent will run there. In a post, dealing with W540, I read about problems. I will start Uberstudent from a stick-is this sufficient to find out whether Uberstudent will work there or not? What are the important parts of US I should try, check? On the long run I am planning to plug in a SSD, if there is a slot. But I do not know, if I can select Win or US during boot time. Perhaps I should install US as dual-boot first? If there is no slot I would remove the HDD and insert the SSD. What do you think-is that feasible? What to consider? Then I would install US from a stick, DVD or internet. What would be the preferred method?
Now a bit off-topic: What things to check on that old machine? Does a software exist to examine the machine? Or a benchmarking software? People posted melted cables close to the CPU, therefore failing loudspeakers. I can use the machine for 30 days, when I am not happy, I can send it back! Thanks a lot for your hints and suggestions!
PS: Please move that post in case there is a better place
