The answer to a similar query as posted by you is here at http://www.askiyogi.com/windows/11532.html The memory is an issue for you here. You can also use the Upgrade advisor from this link http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=20

If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

• 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
• 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
• 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

You will not be able to install Windows 7 as per above requirements.
