W10 worked OK but as reported widely, there seem to be a raft of Privacy issues and settings. Edge seemed rather odd too. The NC10 booted a bit quicker than with W7 but otherwise no noticeable difference. There are lots of background processes you can turn off which might eventually give a little battery duration improvement.
So I used the roll back to W7. That ran quite well and I had W7 again in well under an hour. Initially it seemed all OK, but the process had messed with a few things. Windows Update still kept trying to install W10 updates for a while but seems to have stopped. Not sure how! I had MSE on it and that messed up a bit. Uninstalled and reinstalled twice and now OK. Windows Defender W7 version may have been implicated too.
Ccleaner had been messed with too. Only a complete uninstall and reinstall fixed that, including reselecting some options. Lastly, an IE11 reset to standard and reselect options seems to have stopped numerous crashes. So that might not be everything if you do a rollback after trying W Might try W10 again in a few months. The NC10 saved doing it on a more recent machine. Beware if you try W Well I had another go with W10 the other day and this time it went much smoother starting from W7, just by deselecting the blocks set in that excellent GWX Control Panel programme then running Windows Update and letting it install W I just set up a local account not an MS one.
Turned off the W10 Apps. IE11 works well, Firefox a bit slow, Pale Moon not bad. Edge is horrible in several ways and not fast. Everything else I put on works, including the Win7 games pack that you can get free from Winaero. Except shutting down though, that takes about 25 seconds.
So, the NC10 updated to Win10 anniversary edition Ran very slow. Edge worse than ever and hangs if you have either of the adblocker extensions installed. Whole thing not really usable. I wonder whether the version will be pushed through automatically again…. First release seemed good. I did the upgrade and kept my files etc. I did the anniversary update too and all worked okay, but was a little slow still.
Anyway, cut a long story short, I felt that Win 10 was a little slow on the NC10 — not when it starts up per se, more in actual use. Next up I tried Android x86 — which, by the way, runs amazingly well on the NC10! So, Windows 10 Anniversary update installed — I did not enter a product key, you do not need it if your laptop has already used Win Windows online syncs the hardware ID and you get activated online like that.
I actually quite like this feature, although am scared that if for whatever reason I decided to upgrade the HDD and needed to reinstall, would the change of HDD cause Windows not to recognise the hardware? With Win 10 Anniversary update now reinstalled from scratch, everything is running MUCH faster and smoother — like the netbook did when I fresh installed Win 7 all those years ago. Only one driver update was needed for the graphics, which Windows found online automatically.
Store updates and Win OS updates all done and everything seems peachy. It is still slow to use, mind you, if you use Edge browser for example and have more than a couple of tabs open, but it does work. I tried Win 10 anniversary edition on my NC10 again from a couple of days ago. This time the fixes that MS has introduced during August and September seem to have done the trick and the NC10 is running pretty well as good as with the earlier Win 10, which is quite good.
Thanks for your feedback. I upgraded an Samsung Netbook to Windows 7. I had to upgrade many of the drivers, to get things like fn keys to work that control sound and display brightness, but can't find anything to get the SD card slot to recognize sd cards. Seems like a big problem all over the web, but no real solutions. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.

Report abuse. Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: There are important steps that you need to follow to upgrade from your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings. Before you begin, you'll need to back up all your data to an external storage device, and you'll need all of the installation discs for programs you want to keep.
Please make sure you have an external hard drive see details below. More detailed instructions are available at windows. Here are the basic steps. Run Windows Upgrade Advisor windows. Save your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer windows.
If you don't have an external hard drive you won't be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. You'll need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after you install Windows 7. You might be able to download some programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from download.
