Samsung NC10 Windows 7?
Samsung NC10
Hi all
I have just purchased a NC10 which has XP installed, and I want to know if it's worthwhile and a good idea to install Windows 7 HP?
The netbook has 2GB of ram if that helps?

Re: Samsung NC10 Windows 7?
If you have a copy of Windows 7 lying around, then it maybe worth a try. But have the XP files saved in the background in case you wish to revert. I wouldn't be buying windows 7 specially as I'd have my doubts if the CPU is going to be man enough to power it at a reasonable speed.

Re: Samsung NC10 Windows 7?
Go to the Samsung website and look up your model.
I have the N310 and got the drivers off the Samsung website.
It is certainly capable of running Windows 7.

Re: Samsung NC10 Windows 7?
Atom Netbooks are now routinely supplied with Windows 7 (Starter) - I think the graphics can even handle Aero, though as memory requirements increase, the 2GB RAM is definitely a good thing if you intend turning the eyecandy on.
TBH, I wouldn't bother, unless you really want Win7 for consistency and/or have access to really cheap educational (student) or other licence deals

Re: Samsung NC10 Windows 7?
I have put Windows 7 on my NC 10 and in runs better than XP. The only problem I have is if I update the graphics driver I get blue screen crashes, so I just use the ones that 7 installs. On another note if windows updates want to install the drivers do not let it.

I have 7 Ultimate running on a HP TC1100 with 1.5Gb Ram and a Centrino 1GHz CPU - works fine.

Re: Samsung NC10 Windows 7?
I had 7 Ultimate running on my 600mhz Q1 Ultra. Performed better with 7 than it did with XP tablet edition once I got 2GB RAM installed. Only niggle I had was a display driver issue that would sometimes make my display blank if hibernate had been used, only fix was to reboot. Used to happen once a month at most and I used to hibernate rather than shutdown 90% of the time so it could have happened a lot if it was a severe problem.

Might be worth looking into the "Sherry" patched drivers, they are supposed to do wonderful things for ye olde Intel GMA

Ah, not quite there yet on this one - http://forum.9xxssf.info/index.php?/...-gse-released/
I would always seek out graphics drivers from the system or chipset manufacturer, not sure if WindowsUpdate provides drivers of equal capability
