Is It Worth it?

Hello i have my Aspire One 532H only a short time so i want to ask if its worth to install WIN7 Ultimate over WINXP coz im not happy with them.
Can some user tell me hows the battery(if theres a problem that win7 shows bad battery consider replacement)
And performance
Im using my netbook for Internet And some old games Like NFS HotPursuit 2 and GTA San Andreas
Thanks

 

Hi there,

I've just got rid of XP and installed Win 7 Pro.
Yes, the battery life is reduced (be it either Win 7 uses more battery or the battery display is rubbish!) and from a full charge it now says 3hrs 34min on Power saver mode with 76% left to go. That's on a 6-cell on a D250.

But it does look a heap load better than XP!!

As for games, I sue it for some older games F1 Challenge, Condor Soaring Simulator being the main two. They aren't as smooth as they were under XP but still easily playable.

I would recommend give Win 7 a whirl, but ensure you leave your recovery partition intact, that way if you don't like it you can recover to a clean XP install again.

Just remember to back everything up as you can't "upgrade" to Win 7 you must do a full clean install.

Cheers
