Hi,
I’ve just got my Samsung NC10 which my University are given away for free, after unpacking it, I felt I needed to do some research and therefore have come across a large amount of people who have changed their operating systems to Vista which I prefer as I have been using it on my PC.
From what I know in order to upgrade I will need a 2gb ram in order go ahead which I will be getting very soon.
The next step……I don’t have a clue, if someone could be kind enough to explain to me what I have to do and what I will require. Something which is easy and quick would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
loook for the vista driver compilation thread and it has all the drivers you need for the vista.
As for how to go about installing it, you can either get or borrow an external optical drive and boot the vista CD/DVD from it, or if you can extract the files in vista CD/DVD onto a USB stick using one of your other computer that has an optical drive and copy it to the D partition and run the setup from there, that works, too and that’s how I installed windows 7 beta version. During the setup, format the C: that has the XP and install fresh vista onto that newly formatted C: partition.
I happened to have had a friend with an external optical drive so I went with the first option. Went smooth, took about 25~30 min. Was quicker than I expected.
How many gb would you need on C for vista to install. I have only got 15 set on C and don’t really want to re partician
