don't know. do a Google search asking question of minimum requirements for one gig ram and specific processor of your netbook. A bigger operating system may gain you very little in terms of benefits and slow down system.

No, I do not believe this is compatible with your Netbook, however you can try crucial.com and run the program to see if you can upgrade.

it is not on this laptop....neither is there a CD drive...I am totally unhappy with this laptop, and the vendor I bought it from. I would advise to stay away from both.

Sure, that's exactly what happened to my Acer netbook. Completely dead so I bought the Sanoxy hard drive enclosure, extracted the hard drive from the old dead netbook and transfered files and photos to my new Asus netbook. Quick and easy.

As the netbook concept does not include an optical drive for space issues, you need an external drive to; install CD/DVD based software, burn CD/DVDs off your netbook. The new wave of ASUS EEE PC will most likely come with a DVD-RW, but the unit will be heavier. You have a couple of options when installing software from CD/DVDs; 1. Go out and buy a USB based external optical drive. I would recommend Samsung SE-S084B. It costs around $70. Does not require a power adapter. It comes with a dual USB cable to power up from the netbook. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SE-S084B-RSBN-External-DVD-Writer/dp/B001MLZKAQ/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1238534118&sr=8-2 2. If you're in a network environment, you can load the installation CD/DVD on another computer, share the CD drive on that PC and connect to that CD drive via network neighborhood from your netbook. The easiest would be to use the IP address of that PC. For example; the IP of the host computer is 192.168.1.10. In Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer's address bar type in the following "\\192.168.1.10". You will be able to see the shared folders and CD drive for the host.

I bought my Asus netbook off of eBay. I upgraded the OS to Windows 7 Home Premium before I purchased the external cd player.

Hey Joshua, You would have to use an external USB CD drive, the unit does not have built in drivers.

No, this laptop is in a class called "Ultrabook," there is no drive for playing CDs or DVDs.

Hi Flo,No, unfortunately this would not work for you. You must have at least a net book that can attach to a dvd drive. As it does take up memory, I would advise using only with a laptop or desktop. If you have a tablet Amazon and Google Play both have lots of great free games I have found. It makes a great substitute when traveling light. ;) Good Luck!

It does not have a built in cd or dvd drive, most ultraportables do not. You can connect and external drive through the usb port.

Doesn't come with one, but you don't need one. From the product description above: "The Eee PC 1005PR-P makes system reinstallation simple with a built-in recovery program that can restore your system to its original factory settings by simply pressing F9 three times during start-up. Coupled with ASUS WebStorage, you can easily back-up your data prior to system recovery to pick up wherever you leave off without a hitch." Same instructions in the manual. Makes sense to me. After all, the netbook doesn't come with a cd/dvd reader. They sort of have to presume you don't necessarily own one (even though it is rather silly not to).

Netbooks don't have disc drives for CDs. I bought an external drive but never use it. I usually find an ISO for anything I want to install or I make an ISO on my other computer and share it.

No it does not... in fact it doesn't have a cd or dvd drive at all. That's what make it so light and portable...like a macbook air. Most people just use USB sticks now anyways :)

I honestly would not know, I tried to use both of mine with 2 different laptops and a netbook and could never get it to work. Hopefully you will have better luck than I.
