Problem is, it doesn't have a DVD drive. Can you do this? If so, how? Do you have to buy a USB DVD drive? (Something I'd rather not as they cost over $50)</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: Black"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: Black"><strong>ANSWER:</strong></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: Black">First, remember that you can't do an in-place upgrade from XP to Windows 7; you need to do a clean installation. With that in mind, the good news is that you don't have to go out and buy a DVD drive to install Windows 7 on your netbook. Microsoft has released a USB/DVD Download Tool that you can use to easily create a bootable disk image of Windows 7 on a USB thumb drive. You'll need a USB stick that's at least 4 GB in size and you'll need to set the netbook's BIOS boot order to boot from the USB drive.</span></span></span> <a href="http://www.infoworld.com/d/windows/microsoft-releases-windows-7-upgrade-tool-netbooks-435" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: Blue">You can find out more here...</span></span></span></strong></a></p></blockquote><p></p>
