I have an ASUS EeePC 1015CX netbook currently running Windows 7 Starter Edition. I wanted to install Windows 7 Enterprise. Would it work well? (I don't mind disabling things like AERO Glass stuff to squeeze out more power).

Also how can I do a dual booting so that I don't delete the original system in case this doesn't work?

  • the 32Bit version should work. But the maximum RAM of 2GB maybe too low if you use enterprise features/programs.

  • Just to clarify that the netbook has 1GB of RAM.

With the specifications for your netbook, there's no reason why this shouldn't work just fine. Especially if you look at the minimum requirements for Windows 7.

Clearly, you'll need to install the drivers for your netbook - but the differences between Starter and Enterprise lie not in the core department, and thus that shouldn't be a problem.

I would note however that I highly doubt you havea volume license agreement, and thus installing Windows 7 Enterprise seems highly unlikely to be "legit". Just saying!

  • It's good to know that it would work. Could you please tell me how to partition the drive so that I don't loose any original data during installation. Oh I just realized how shady the description of the system looks like, sorry about that! It is an evaluation version that I want to use to test it, it has the highest specifications so if that works anything should.
