Netbook with Windows 7 Starter - Can I upgrade to Professional or Ultimate?
- by Andrew J. Brehm
There are finally Windows 7 netbooks available, but they come with Windows 7 "Starter". Can I upgrade "Starter" to Windows 7 Ultimate using a normal retail DVD (and its new licence key)?
What about special netbook drivers? Will they be replaced by an in-place upgrade? Does Windows 7 even have a way to upgrade to another edition or will I have to delete and re-install?
If I delete and re-install, how will I get the special netbook drivers to install again?
In my case it will probably be a HP netbook (HP Mini 110-1115SA). Can I just install the drivers from the HP CD that comes with the computer?
Any ideas?
