    Hi everybody,

    I have an Acer TraveMate 4233wlmi with Windows XP installed. I would like to pass to Windows 7 but I'm not sure that this model is compatible with this system. Can anybody give me some information about that? If it's compatible where can I find the right drivers? In the Acer website I can't see my model on the list...there are only TravelMate 4230 or 4235 and I don't know what is better to do.

    I appreciate any helps and thanks in advance :)

    Yours is 4230.
    You'd have to check if you can find all drivers for Win 7 but the main issue might be apps like Launch Manager which you need for Wi-Fi and it may not run under Win 7 (although sometimes Vista versions do in compatibility mode).

    It's not a straightforward operation- needs some researching and some testing/tweaking.
