Upgrading to Windows 7
My Netbook came with Windows XP installed, can I upgrade?
Yes, you can! However an XP to Win 7 upgrade requires completely overwriting the XP OS.
What Version Should I buy?
The Windows 7 Home version is suitable for most users. The Pro version contains some extra network features, remote desktop and virtulisation options. If you don't know what the extra features are, you probably don't need them!
Got a full list of the differences between Windows 7 Versions?
There is a feature list here
Do you have info for my model?
Can I install the 64-bit version on my Netbook?
The Windows 7 package contains both the 32 and 64 bit versions. However the Atom processors currently only support the 32 bit version. So, no you can't.
Windows 7 Starter Edition Limitations
I can't change the Windows background on my Netbook
