Windows 7, 8.1 & 10 compatibility testing for Windows XP, Vista & 7 computers

Technical Level : Basic

Summary

Compatibility testers are available for Windows 7, 8.1 & 10.

The Windows 10 compatibility tester cannot run on Windows XP or Vista but a substitute is available.

Details

1 Test for compatibility with Windows 7 & Windows 8.1

1.1 If you plan to install Windows 7 or 8, you need to check your computer’s hardware & software compatibility with the new OS.

1.2 In addition to providing information about the chances of a successful installation, the compatibility reports will alert you to any hardware components that you will need to pay attention to afterwards. See Where to get hardware drivers .

2 Test for compatibility with Windows 10

2.1 If you plan to install Windows 10, you need to check your computer’s hardware & software compatibility with the new OS. Review the Windows 10 System requirements carefully; whilst it starts off with a simple table of requirements, there is an awful lot tucked away in its details [see also my section 3 below].

• If you are using Windows 7 SP1 or 8/8.1, use the Windows 10 upgrade checker [GWX] . I am not sure but I think that if you have Windows 7 pre-SP1 and do not want to complete that update first, you might have to use the same substitute compatibility checker that I suggest for XP & Vista users.
• If you are using XP or Vista you will have to use a substitute compatibility checker because the Windows 10 upgrade checker [GWX] cannot run on Windows XP or Vista. So, for XP & Vista, run the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant instead as that does run on those OSs. The Windows 10 System requirements and the Windows 8 system requirements are just about the same so the results will still be useful.

2.2 In addition to providing information about the chances of a successful installation, the compatibility reports will alert you to any hardware components that you will need to pay attention to afterwards. See Compatibility report for Windows 10 FAQ — Windows Help & Where to get hardware drivers .

3 Additional Windows 10 system requirements

3.1 To install a 64-bit OS on a 64-bit PC, your processor needs to support CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW, and LAHF/SAHF. This is stated in Windows 10 System requirements but is tucked away near the end [ Additional requirements to use certain features section , four bullet points up from the end]. The Windows 10 upgrade checker [GWX] and Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant check all these items.

3.2 Early versions of the Windows 10 System requirements stated that the CPU must support SSE2, NX, PAE extensions [a requirement that was introduced for Windows 8.1]. Whilst current versions of the Windows 10 System requirements statement do not include this constraint, a forum user reported on 18 April 2016 that lack of support for NX extensions was given as the reason for failure during an attempted upgrade to Windows 10. The Windows 10 upgrade checker [GWX] and Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant check for these items. For further information about SSE2, NX, PAE requirements, see

What are PAE, NX, and SSE2 — Windows 8.1 Help and note in particular its statement that CPU NX extensions might be available but turned off in the BIOS.

Your PC’s CPU isn’t compatible with Windows 8,10 where some alternative BIOS names for these extensions are mentioned. There is no need to use the Microsoft SysInternals tool that is referred to.

4 Install Windows 10 as a test before parting with any money

4.1 Even if your computer is compatible you might find that Windows 10 does not perform very well. It does make tougher demands on your hardware then previous OSs and applications can be noticeably slower.

4.2 Just by way of example, I have Windows 10 running well on a twelve year old Dell Inspiron 9300 with just two problems [that I have managed to work around] yet I was in touch in the Dell forums with another user of the same model with apparently the same specs but his Windows 10 problems proved insurmountable.

4.3 Y ou won’t know if it works until you try it. So even if it passes all the tests, get yourself a system imaging utility such as Macrium Reflect [free edition] and make a system image of your computer] before installing Windows 10.

• There is guidance on using it on their website and also at Backup and Restore with Macrium Reflect — TenForums .
• You will normally also need to make a Macrium Reflect rescue disk .
• A system image will enable you to get back to where you started so that you do not destroy your original OS.

4.4 You can install Windows 10 by booting the computer from installation media created using the Media creation tool . Make sure you choose the right Windows 10 in the choices you make here so that you can avoid any need to reinstall if you do decide to buy it.

• If your review of the Windows 10 System requirements indicates that you can use 64 bit [x64] Windows 10 then you can choose that for its faster processing capabilities. If not, or if you think that you will be in other respects pushing the specs, choose 32 bit [x86].
• To decide whether or not you want Windows 10 Home or Pro, see the comparison chart in this Wikipedia article comparing Windows 10 editions. As far as home users are concerned, the only difference that is likely to matter is encryption [EFS, Bitlocker] as it is only available with Windows 10 Pro.
• During your test installation you will be asked to provide a product key but you can skip that and the installation will complete so that you can test your computer with Windows 10. The installation will not be activated so it can only be used for a limited time before limitations start to be imposed [I do not know how long this will be or what limitations will appear].

4.5 If you currently have Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1, you might still be able to upgrade for free. See Get Windows 10 upgrade still — GroovyPost

Windows Hardware Lab Kit

The Windows Hardware Lab Kit (Windows HLK) is a test framework used to test hardware devices for Windows 10 and all versions of Windows Server starting with Windows Server 2016. To qualify for the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program, your product must pass certain tests using the Windows HLK.

This guide provides information about the tests that are included in the Windows Hardware Lab Kit, and instructions on how to build a test environment, automate driver and system testing, and create a submission package required to participate in the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program.

If you’re developing for Windows 10 or qualified versions of Windows Server, you must use the correct version of the HLK, as listed in the following table. Using the correct kit helps you ensure that the drivers and the system you develop are certified as compatible with Windows 10 or Windows Server.

Certify using the Virtual HLK (VHLK)! The VHLK is the entire Hardware Lab Kit pre-installed and pre-configured on a VHDX, ready to boot as a virtual machine. Use the VHLK to save setup time, quickly stand up a controller, and run Windows Hardware Certification from a virtual machine.

To certify.	Download.
Windows 10, version 20H2 Windows 10, version 2004	Windows HLK, version 2004 or Windows Virtual HLK (VHLK), version 2004
Windows 10, version 1909 Windows 10, version 1903	Windows HLK, version 1903 or Windows Virtual HLK (VHLK), version 1903
Windows 10, version 1809 or Windows Server 2019	Windows HLK, version 1809 or Windows Virtual HLK (VHLK), version 1809

Windows 10, version 1709	Windows HLK, version 1709
Windows 10, version 1703 Windows 10, version 1607	Windows HLK, version 1703
Windows 10, version 1511 Windows 10, version 1507 Windows Server 2016	Windows HLK, version 1607

Windows HLK only supports testing on Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2019 systems. For testing previous versions of Windows, use the Hardware Certification Kit for Windows 8.1.

Windows Hardware Compatibility Program

To qualify for the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program, your product must pass certain tests using the Windows HLK. For guidance on which kit to use for compatibility certification, see the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program and the Windows Hardware Certification Blog.

Certification for Windows Server 2016, Azure Stack, SDDC, and later versions of these programs and qualifications must meet the Windows Hardware Compatibility Requirements as stated in the respective version of the documentation; must use the corresponding version of the HLK with matching playlist and supplemental content to generate logs; and must follow policies as stated in the Windows Server Policy document. Questions about the Azure Stack, SDDC programs, or how to submit the results for solution validation should be directed to the appropriate Microsoft technical account manager or partner management contact.

Download Windows Hardware Compatibility playlist

Get the official Windows Hardware Compatibility playlist so you can run the Windows HLK tests that ensure your hardware meets the requirements for compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows Server.

Download Windows HLK Filters

When there is a problem in either a Windows HLK test or in the operating system itself that causes certification tests to fail incorrectly, we create an errata that allows partners to bypass the problematic test. Most errata use filters to automatically filter the failure from the submission results. Filters are applied within Windows HLK Studio.

Download Windows HLK Supplemental Test Content

Supplemental Content for Media, Graphics, Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), and Private Cloud Simulator Tests

Supplemental test content downloads are required for some tests related to graphics, media, and mean time between failures (MTBF). Download these files to complete Windows HLK testing in these areas.

Required downloads for tests that use supplemental content:

Media

Graphics

Starting with Windows HLK, version 2004, the HLK_GRFX_FOD package is no longer needed for Graphics testing. It is still required for testing previous versions of Windows (Windows 10 , versions 1909 and earlier).
