How to switch my Acer Aspire One ZG5 model of Win XP to W7?

How to switch my Acer Aspire One ZG5 model (model 2008) from Win XP to W7?

I have 1.5 GB of RAM and 160 GB HD. What version of W7 can agree?

You will appreciate any help/advice - thanks.

It is clear looking for throough this forum helps a lot of people - there are several questions that no one has offered any sort of a response/answer - it seems hardly useful.

In any case, I answered my own question: I just connected a USB DVD drive and ran the drive of W7 patch and everything was fine. He did take a lot of time for all updates to load, but there is no real problems. W7 works very well with 1.5 GB of memory.

Good day!

  • Acer Aspire One ZG5 - Wifi limited connectivity sudden

    It's an old netbook, but it worked great for years talk WPA/WPA2-PSK to various Dlink routers. Now it suddenly does not connect, but it will connect if I set the wireless to a network open without password. Otherwise, there will always need to acqire an IP address and Yes sometimes one, but the browser will not work. I reloaded the drivers Atheros. No help. I have rebooted the system from the recovery partition. No help. There are currently on a wired ethernet connection get updated XP. I'm sure that's not material. I can start a live Linux distro and which is wireless modem and connect immediately. So, I was hoping that the reloading of the system would work. There can be no. The signal strength is not a problem. I'm testing it right next to the router.

    Ok. It is fixed. I read a thread by another user had the same problem and in liquidation, using drivers on a Toshiba laptop to fix. http://forums.Dlink.com/index.php?topic=41478.0 I searched for atheros AR5007EG driver and found a 7.7.0.523 version considering that Acer list 7.6.0.224 as the most recent version. Manually updated the atheros drivers. I'm back online. Moreover, the search for drivers not on the website of the manufacturer is a minefield. Half of the links and clicks want to sell you driver tools and other things. I barely trust CNET and softpedia for content and avoid all the world. Maybe I was lucky, I found the right on softpedia.
