asus eee 4g pc

It is difficult to upgrade the OS on the Asus eee series PCs. They do not have a CD/DVD drive so you either have to invest in an external drive or create a bootable Windows installation on a suitable USB flash memory stick. This involves access to another computer with a CD/DVD drive and, of course, a USB port. You would also need to buy a copy of Windows and a suitable USB drive. BEFORE you do this, however, you will have to evaluate the hardware of the computer. For Windows 7 Starter edition, it MUST have at least 1Gb of RAM, 40Gb of hard disk space and a minimum of 1Ghz processor. Unfortunately the Asus eee 4G does NOT meet these specs! It has 512 Mb of RAM (but can be upgraded to 2 Gb), a 4 GB Solid State Drive and an Intel Celeron M353 running at 630 MHz. If you don't like Windows XP, then probably the only sensible option is to install a Linux OS.
