So I had to install Windows 7 over the network, once I got it started it was very much like the Windows Vista installation, the whole process took about two hours including copying the image over the network. My first problem was for some reason my external DVD drive would not work, this is not a Windows 7 problem just a dodgy DVD drive. So I was expecting similar pain with Windows 7… This is the original Q1 with 1GB of RAM and a Celeron M processor and I have had it running Windows Vista, at first after installation the performance was ok but after a while it has become unusable so I was interested to see if Microsoft’s claims about Windows 7 running well on Netbooks was true (I know the Q1 is not a Netbook but the spec is similar)įirst of all I should say that getting Vista to run on the Q1 was a challenge, the touch drivers, sound, bluetooth and video drivers were all hard to find, but I did find this very useful guide. After having successfully installed Windows 7 on my test PC I thought I would try another machine, after some encouragement via followers on Twitter I decided to give it a try on my old Samsung Q1 UMPC.
