A software tool has been released by Microsoft that determines whether a computer can handle Windows 7.

It examines the graphics processor, chip, memory, and other components of a computer.

“For the people who want to upgrade their existing PC, they are often faced with the question of whether their PC can run the new Windows version or note,” wrote a Microsoft Windows blogger.

The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor beta can be downloaded from the company’s website but the blogger did not state when a final version of it would be available.
