I'm currently running Windows XP SP3 on a laptop with an Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T7200 processor. I'd like to do a bare metal install of Windows 8.1 on this laptop if it supports it.
I know that in order for the laptop to run Windows 8.1 the processor has to support SSE2, NX and PAE. I think I have the SSE2 and NX covered??? , but what about the PAE?
Here is the relevant CPU-Z info I think ...
Name Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T7200
Codename Merom
Specification Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz
Package (platform ID) Socket 479 mPGA (0x5)
CPUID 6.F.6
Extended CPUID 6.F
Core Stepping B2
Technology 65 nm
Core Speed 997.4 MHz
Multiplier x Bus Speed 6.0 x 166.2 MHz
Rated Bus speed 664.9 MHz
Stock frequency 2000 MHz
Instructions sets MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, EM64T, VT-x
Also MS says it has to have a graphics card that supports Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver. How can I tell if my card supports that? Of course if my processor doesn't support PAE I guess this is a moot point anyway.
Thanks for any help!
