Personal opinion of W7 is that it is bloated resource hog. Basic install consumes around 20gb. Is there not a linux alternative to Irfanview you could use? I use Shotwell to download and catalogue captures, Luminance HDR to process RAW HDR's, Gimp and Darktable to tweak and refine. Fotoxx could be an alternative to try.

Just bought a rather nice secondhand notebook with Windows 7 Pro on it, but no CD as it is one of a corporate batch.
I was going to reformat the drive, but - comparatively speaking, of course - what's 7 Pro like?
Should I hive it off into a separate partition, or put my street-legal XP Pro into Virtual Box? I only want it to run Irfanview...
