    Ok!

    1. Install MAP 8.0

    2. Run an inventory scan.

    3. Generate reports for desktop Windows 7 or Windows 8!

    Done :)

    Thanks, I have done the first 2 steps. I just don't know how to generate raports for Windows 7.

    Does the raport include hardware devices and software details ?

    PS: Is it any way to show the RAM details ? This is one of my MUST HAVE things.

    Thank you for the answers :)

    When the inventory is done, click on the Windows 7 Readiness box and then choose Generate Windows 7 Readiness Report and proposal. It will end up in Documents\MAP folder.

    And yes, it will contain info on amount of RAM and to some extent installed applications.
