Why each option
Windows 7 requires a minimum Windows Experience Index (WEI) score of 3.0 to enable the Aero graphical interface enhancements.
A WEI of 2.0 is below the Aero threshold and would result in a fallback to a non-Aero interface such as Windows Basic.
Microsoft specified that a WEI sub-score of at least 3.0 (particularly for graphics and gaming graphics) is required to support the Windows Aero theme, which includes features like transparent glass effects, live taskbar thumbnails, and Flip 3D. Scores below 3.0 fall back to the Windows Basic or Classic theme.
A score of 4.0 is sufficient for Aero but is not the minimum required - 3.0 is the documented minimum threshold.
A score of 5.0 exceeds the minimum requirement; while it supports Aero, it is not the minimum threshold.
