Please contact system vendor for more information on specific products or systems.
"Intel classifications" consist of Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) numbers. Any use made of Intel classifications are without recourse to Intel and shall not be construed as a representation or warranty regarding the proper ECCN or HTS. Your company may be the exporter of record, and as such, your company is responsible for determining the correct classification of any item at the time of export.
Refer to Datasheet for formal definitions of product properties and features.
“Announced” SKUs are not yet available. Please refer to the Launch Date for market availability.
Some products can support AES New Instructions with a Processor Configuration update, in particular, i7-2630QM/i7-2635QM, i7-2670QM/i7-2675QM, i5-2430M/i5-2435M, i5-2410M/i5-2415M. Please contact OEM for the BIOS that includes the latest Processor configuration update.
‡ This feature may not be available on all computing systems. Please check with the system vendor to determine if your system delivers this feature, or reference the system specifications (motherboard, processor, chipset, power supply, HDD, graphics controller, memory, BIOS, drivers, virtual machine monitor-VMM, platform software, and/or operating system) for feature compatibility. Functionality, performance, and other benefits of this feature may vary depending on system configuration.
“Conflict free” and “conflict-free” means “DRC conflict free”, which is defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules to mean products that do not contain conflict minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold) that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries. Intel also uses the term "conflict-free" in a broader sense to refer to suppliers, supply chains, smelters and refiners whose sources of conflict minerals do not finance conflict in the DRC or adjoining countries. Intel processors manufactured before January 1, 2013 are not confirmed conflict free. The conflict free designation refers only to product manufactured after that date. For Intel Boxed Processors, the conflict free designation refers to the processor only, not to any additional included accessories, such as heatsinks/coolers.
See http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/hyper-threading/hyper-threading-technology.html?wapkw=hyper+threading for more information including details on which processors support Intel® HT Technology.
Max Turbo Frequency refers to the maximum single-core processor frequency that can be achieved with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. See www.intel.com/technology/turboboost/ for more information.
The Recommended Customer Price (“RCP”) is pricing guidance for Intel products. Prices are for direct Intel customers and are subject to change without notice. Taxes and shipping, etc. not included. Prices may vary for other package types and shipment quantities, and special promotional arrangements may apply. Listing of these RCP does not constitute a formal pricing offer from Intel. Please work with your appropriate Intel representative to obtain a formal price quotation.
System and Maximum TDP is based on worst case scenarios. Actual TDP may be lower if not all I/Os for chipsets are used.
Low Halogen: Applies only to brominated and chlorinated flame retardants (BFRs/CFRs) and PVC in the final product. Intel components as well as purchased components on the finished assembly meet JS-709 requirements, and the PCB / substrate meet IEC 61249-2-21 requirements. The replacement of halogenated flame retardants and/or PVC may not be better for the environment.
For benchmarking data see http://www.intel.com/performance.
Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. Seehttp://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html for details.
Processors that support 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture require an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS.

Windows 7 installation problems: frequently asked questions

Here are some answers to common questions about installing Windows 7.
Hide all

How do I upgrade my computer from my current version of Windows to Windows 7?

For more information, including which versions of Windows can be upgraded to Windows 7, go to Upgrading to Windows 7: frequently asked questions on the Windows website.
For step-by-step tutorials, go to Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 and Upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 on the Windows website.

Why can't I install the 64-bit version of Windows 7?

If you receive an error message when trying to install a 64-bit version of Windows, your computer's central processing unit (CPU) might not be capable of running a 64-bit version of Windows. For more information, see 32-bit and 64-bit Windows: frequently asked questions.
If your CPU is capable of running a 64-bit version of Windows, but your computer is currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you need to start, or boot, your computer using the Windows 7 installation disc or a USB flash drive. For more information, see Start your computer from a Windows 7 installation disc or USB flash drive.

Note

  • You can't use the Upgrade installation option to upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows 7, or to upgrade a 64-bit version of Windows to a 32-bit version of Windows 7. You'll need to choose the Custom option during Windows 7 installation. For more information, see Installing and reinstalling Windows 7.

How do I install Windows 7 on a netbook?

Purchasing and downloading Windows 7 online from the Microsoft Store is the simplest way to install Windows 7 on a netbook or other computer that doesn't have an internal DVD drive. For more information, go to Installing Windows 7 on a netbook on the Windows website.

Why do I see an Upgrade Compatibility Report?

This report might appear during an upgrade installation if Windows detects issues that might affect the upgrade. The report includes recommended steps to take, and a copy of it is saved to your desktop so you can refer to it later. For more information, see What is a Windows 7 Upgrade Compatibility Report, and what do the results mean?

Where do I find my product key?

You can find your product key on your computer or inside the Windows package—or in a confirmation e‑mail if you purchased and downloaded Windows 7 online. For more information, see Where do I find my Windows 7 product key?

How do I get a product key?

If you don't have a product key to type during the installation process, you need to buy a new product key and activate Windows within 30 days after installation. For more information, see Get a new Windows 7 product key and Activating Windows 7: frequently asked questions.

Why isn't my printer shared after upgrading?

If you shared any printers in Windows Vista, you'll need to re-share them by following these steps:
  1. Click the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then click Devices and Printers.
  2. Right-click the printer you want to share, and then click Printer properties.
  3. On the Sharing tab, select the Share this printer check box, and then click OK.
    If other computers still can't access the printer, delete the printer from the other computers, and then add the printer again.

How do I fix a device, like a monitor, sound card, or printer, that doesn't work since I upgraded to Windows 7?

First, try reinstalling the device. If that doesn't solve the problem, check with the manufacturer for a newer version of the device driver that's designed to work with Windows 7. For more information, see Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly.
For information about using troubleshooters to help fix problems, see Troubleshooting in Windows.

What is the Windows.old folder and how do I remove it?

If you install Windows 7 by performing a custom installation, and you don't format the partition during installation, files that were used in your previous version of Windows are stored in the Windows.old folder. For more information, see How do I remove the Windows.old folder?

Will my programs work with Windows 7?

Most programs written for Windows Vista also work in Windows 7, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. To try and fix a compatibility problem, see Open the Program Compatibility troubleshooter‍. For more information about program compatibility, see Make older programs run in this version of Windows.
If the Program Compatibility troubleshooter can't fix the problem, you might be able to run the program using Windows XP Mode. For more information, search for "Windows XP Mode" in Help and Support.

Notes

  • Some programs such as Windows Mail and Outlook Express are no longer included in Windows 7. If you used Windows Mail or Outlook Express as your e‑mail program, you'll need to install a new e‑mail program after you finish installing Windows 7 to read your messages or to send and receive e‑mail. For more information about programs you can use, go to Looking for Windows Mail? on the Windows website.
  • If you perform a custom installation of Windows 7, you'll need to manually reinstall the programs that you want to use in Windows 7. Make sure you have the installation discs and product keys for your programs, as well as the setup files if you downloaded any programs from the Internet.
  • If you're running a 64-bit version of Windows and plan to install a 32-bit version of Windows 7, programs that were designed to run only on a 64-bit operating system might not work. Check the software manufacturer's website for more information, or go to the Windows 7 Compatibility Center website for hardware and software tested to be compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7.

Can I use my product key on more than one computer?

You can't use the same Windows product key to activate Windows 7 on more computers than the Microsoft Software License Terms allow. Usually, the license terms allow the product key to be used on only one computer.
If you use your installation disc or a USB flash drive to install Windows 7 on a second computer, you'll need to buy an additional copy of the same edition of Windows 7 to obtain a new product key. For more information, see Get a new Windows 7 product key.
