If you have a spyder 2 you will be well served by a newer colorimeter. I would highly suggest a Colormunki Display as its the most accurate out of all of them right now and half what the i1 that uses the same sensor costs. Paired with displaycal it will give you a very accurate profile.
Side note: if you have a legitimate windows 7 key you can still upgrade to windows 10. Google windows 10 accesibility upgrade. Just pretend you are deaf or blind for a day and do it. Windows 10 is a pretty big leap in performance over Windows 7. I don't know how much ram you have but 8GB is a pretty good number to start with if you are running the newer lightroom. 16-32 is a lot better I must say. On Sun, Dec 11, 2016 at 1:18 PM, P. J.
