can i reinstall windows 7 on an older vista laptop

[roberthans]

Hello,
I have an old HP pavilion entertainment PC laptop (about 10 years old with an intel centrino duo). i could tell it was getting progressively slower until one day it just wouldn't boot up. this is not my primary computer and was just used for playing music and general stuff so there is nothing i need to retrieve from the hard drive.
In its day this was a great laptop and the speakers still sounded amazing. before i trash it i was wondering if i could try a fresh install of windows 7 or if its technology wont support it. i only have windows 7 discs and XP discs not the vista discs.
Thanks
