| 887286 | 2010-05-23 01:14:00 | My high spec'd laptop recently gotr stolen, and I found an older asus eee 1000HA mini netbook lying around. It currently runs ubuntu 10.4, which is okay, but im more adjusted to windows. This is what I wanted to install on it but not sure if its possible. Win Vista Business MS Office 2007 Pro Plus / Expression Web Trend micro Internet Security AIM/WLM/Yahoo. with 2GB RAM, 160GB HD and a 10" screen can i do this? |

| 887287 | 2010-05-23 01:20:00 | Cant see why not. Just make sure you've got the drivers / or get them before you reformat. Just in case Vista doesnt install whatever | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 887288 | 2010-05-23 01:22:00 | the asus site has xp and win7 drivers. can i use the win 7 drivers? | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 887289 | 2010-05-23 01:33:00 | Maybe able to use Win7 drivers. Altho you may or may not have to update the BIOS first. Since, it looks like the latest BIOS supports Win7 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 887290 | 2010-05-23 01:36:00 | Sorry to hear about the incident happened to your main laptop. My main laptop has recently given up due to an overheating issue that affected the graphics adaptor. :( The programs that you mentioned in the first post should be able to install fine on your ASUS Eee. Cheers :) |

| 887292 | 2010-05-23 05:32:00 | I am not sure if its relevant to you but the EEE that use Win7 use Win7 Starter which is not the same as a win7 retail product, the drivers may work for win7/vista and they may not. | DeSade (984) | ||

| 887294 | 2010-05-23 14:44:00 | With 2GB RAM it sounds like it should be able to run Windows 7 OK, unless the CPU is terrible. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 887295 | 2010-05-23 20:38:00 | All the Win updates will slowly and surely strangle the living daylights out of the eeePc little HD - we recently installed the mini version of Ubuntu on a friend's eeePc and it's all going very nicely. sarel |
