Hate to say it but Windows 7 sucks in my experience

HP Mini 210 Windows 7 netbook.That has 250GB of Ram

You should give that netbook to NASA. They could make good use of so much RAM.

But seriously, go to Start > right click on Computer > Properties. There it will tell you how much RAM you have. Or tpe msinfo32 into the start/search field or into the Run box and hit Enter. There it will tell you too.

Why should I give away my Windows XP or Windows 7 netbooks? If anything I want to get more Windows XP,Windows 7 and maybe Windows Vista laptops, to stock up on computers. And with Windows 8 coming in there is all the more reason to.

Look folks, it was a long while ago I & others put in notice in neon lights that there is no Windows * & not to carry on w/ all of this. Do you not see, the efforts are working, the message is not getting through, not heeded or understood.

Think about it... someone who keeps this up in spite of what all has been said by anyone... Tried "ignore" & many of you have tried to get a message across... maybe it's not working? Options?...

And, Mike (& others) it's amazing the lengths to which you gone & how you have kindly tried. Sad to see such extensive thought & effort wasted.

You know I agree it's wasting space, time, value, attention & maybe even tainting 'image'.

Andrea, you can download windows 7 ISOs legally, so I'm sorry to say that statement is completely false.

This, also, has been previously, recently, told. Someone even gave the link to Digital River & mentioned how one would still need a valid license key; but, that all were, indeed, available. I even saw someone give the entire list of Win7 various flavours ISOs, link to each.

No offence, mate; just FYI

You get the point, certainly.

I have the full list of links here. I was keeping it simple. For example http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-24209.iso Windows HP 32 bit. Of course you still need a valid license to use the iso.

The only problem I see with that is those are with SP1. The product code will have to be one that includes SP1 to use those images. Other than that a really great link.

Not true pre SP1 Keys work fine with the images

Interesting. I know we had tried with XP and Vista, and they never worked. Would tell us the key was invalid. LoL Guess Microsoft must have changed that.

But I am pretty sure that even if you do find a legal Windows 7,Windows XP or Windows Vista ISO file,you still have to have a product key to activate Windows. Or else it goes into restricted mode after 30 days.

And also even if you have got Windows XP,7 or Vista on one computer,you can only use the product key and activate Windows on one computer. I think it's one copy of Windows per computer.

So if you have already used the product key and activated Windows on one computer,Windows won't activate on another computer.

So it's not so simple to install Windows just like that. Andrea Borman.
