hi mate just go onto the acer web site and see if it has driver support then if it supports the acer then go for it , windows 7 on the other hand got great driver support, just had problems with acer machines due to the lack of driver support , which is the problem windows 7 should still run on the machine, only 1 way to see try it.

I got an acer netbook I had a choice between win7 or xp so it has to be supported.

FT check whether your notebook has the caperbilities to install windows 7, I think you have to have at least 1GB of memory and 20GB HD, and also get a genuine copy or one with a product key, you can also buy a upgrade pack from XP or vista so that all your files and documents are not wiped. I recently aquired a pirate copy of windows 7 and with windows automatic updates switch on it didn't take long before windows detected it was a copy and blacked my screen so I had to re install Vista, hence I would get a genuine copy, also back up your files or create a restore disc on a external HD before installing just to be on the safe side mate....chuck

If you're not sure if your Acer is compatible for Win7 you can download a checker program from M$ that will check if your system is compatible.

Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor

I put Win7 on a friends Acer NoteBook at it works perfectly. Well it runs a bit slow 1GB memory, he's upgrading to 2GB which is the max I think.

HI Father Ted,
I have a friend running windows 7 on a NETbook, however you said notebook, and i think it will all depend on its age and memory. Do a google with the model number and widows 7 to see if you can find anything about it.

hHope this helps.

go to acer website and see if your model is compatable with windows 7

Windows 7 runs fine on a netbook, just don't expect you can run Photoshop or some other heavy duty program next on it.

a netbook is an internet, msn and textwriter laptop, no high end gaming piece of hardware

Win7 ultimate runs fine, might wanna upgrade your memory though.

[koossie]

I'm agree w7 runs fine but you must not use heavy programs om a netbook
and then it works like a charm
its visual nice mucht more then xp

you may be as well to go for windows 7 starter, its a slimmed down version of windows 7 for lower spec machines, and is the version that is installed on 90% of all new netbooks. we have it on our HP mini 210-1020sa. Works ok, only problem we've encountered is that you can't change the desktop background

we also have wondows 7 home premium on the desktop upstairs, and setting up the wireless network between the 2 machines took no longer than a minute, it was so easy!

hello
i think it small for windows 7

I have also a netbook. It is the ASUS 1000H and it works really good with Windows 7. I have the "Home Premium" Version of WIN 7. It is not the fastest one but it works almost as fast as WIN XP.
