Windows 7 on Samsung NC10
« on: July 15, 2009, 07:17:36 AM »
Hi Everyone,

I am planning on preordering Windows 7 Professional for use on my Samsung NC10 netbook but I have a few questions first:

1: Will the aero glass interface work on the Intel GMA 950 graphics?

2: If I do an upgrade install will all my ProgramsFiles and Drivers be preserved?

3: Can I install with a USB drive or from a second hard drive partition?

Thanks in advance,
Cameron Gray

Specs:
Intel Atom N270
1 GB Ram DDR2
GMA 950 Graphics

What is installed on the netbook currently ? ?
If it's not Vista you will have to do a clean install which means your apps and data will be gone.
Although no final word from Redmond yet rumor has it that there will be a flash drive ver. for installing to netbooks.

Not sure about the graphics question so wait for Calum or another video expert to wander thru here...

I doubt a netbook could handle Aero Glass...
