Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have a netbook, namely: Compaq
CQ10-525DX.  The main specs are: Intel Atom N455 1.66GHz
processor with the Intel GMA 3150 chip graphics, 1GB of DDR2
RAM, a 160GB hard drive.  I want to install Windows 7 and I'm
thinking of the Home Basic edition. Will it matter if I go
higher such as Professional or Ultimate? Also should I install
64-bit of 32-bit. I'm thinking of going with the 32-bit Windows
7 Home Basic edition. I just wanted to make sure that my
hardware will be able to take it.  share|improve this question
First ask yourself what will you use the netbook for? Also check

at 5:48 @Mayank mainly college stuff such as word processing and
browsing stuff on the internet. I don't think I'll be photo
editing or video processing. –  ranzy May 9 '11 at 5:51  3
