Update: On February 29th, 2012 Microsoft released Windows 8 Consumer Preview. E on my aging Asus netbook, including wireless. But I did need to download a driver from Intel in order to adjust the screen resolution so that I could use the Windows Store and Metro style apps. The is now available and test. Microsoft has stated that any hardware that can run Windows 7 should be able to run Windows 8 as well — even older netbooks, so I decided to put that claim to the test. I pulled out an old I have lying around, plugged in a USB DVD drive so that I could install the operating system. You can also use a USB flash drive to install the operating system by:.

The Asus Eee PC 1000H netbook features a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 single core processor, 1GB of RAM, and an 80GB hard drive. It has a 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display and it was one of the first 10 inch netbooks on the market when it launched in the summer of 2008. I think I paid something like $585 for it at the time.

The first time I booted Windows 8 after the install process was completed, I was asked to create a name for the computer, choose my wireless network, and login with my Windows Live ID. After that was done, I saw the funky new Metro style Start Menu with large tiles labeled with functions including Internet Explorer, Desktop, and Windows Explorer. The Start Menu was clearly designed for use with a touchscreen display, but the Eee PC 1000H doesn’t have one. But you can move a mouse cursor around to navigate, and dragging the cursor down to the lower left menu brings up what looks like an old-school Start Menu with options for Settings, Devices, Share, and Search.

A large clock, battery meter, and WiFi indicator also come up when you’re looking at this menu. Microsoft requires a higher resolution display for new Metro style apps, which means that you don’t get to use the new full screen version of Internet Explorer that has no toolbars or other menus cluttering the screen. This is a little ass-backward, since users with lower resolution displays are the ones who could most benefit from full screen apps. Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer, and other apps actually look pretty awful on the Eee PC 1000H, since the Windows 8 toolbars take up so much space.

In order to launch any apps, I had to exit the Metro style Start Menu altogether and use what looked like a classic Windows environment with a desktop, taskbar, and start menu. The operating system also failed to recognize that I was using a 1024 x 600 pixel display, and instead set the resolution at 800 x 600 pixels. Since Asus doesn’t currently offer any Windows 8 drivers for this netbook and I was unable to automatically download any using the Windows device manager, it looks like I’m stuck with 800 x 600 pixels for now. Update: It turns out the Intel VGA driver for Windows 7 works like a charm. You can or from the.

This should work on most older netbooks with GMA 950 graphics. If you have a netbook with an Intel Atom N450 or newer processor, you should for “GMA 3150” and download the appropriate graphics driver. There were a few other quirks as well. While Windows 8 recognized my wireless network right away, it told me I had a limited connection when I logged in.

I was able to get a full internet connection by going to desktop mode, right-clicking on the wireless icon, and choosing the “Troubleshoot problems” option. But this option isn’t available if you’re only using the Metro style Start Menu. I also had to do this every time I rebooted the computer. Update: I downloaded the wireless drivers for this netbook and after installing the driver and going into the Windows Device Manager and choosing which driver to use (Ralink instead of the default Microsoft driver), I no longer have to click the troubleshoot button every time I want to go online.

At this point I wouldn’t recommend anyone use Windows 8 Developer Preview as a replacement for Windows XP, Windows 7, Ubuntu, Joli OS, or any other operating system on your netbook. It is just a preview, after all. But most features do work out of the box, and it’s pretty clear that Microsoft will be able to deliver on its promise of making sure the operating system runs on pretty much any machine that can currently handle Windows 7. Hopefully Microsoft will also ease up on its screen resolution requirements so that older netbook users can also get the full benefit of Metro style full screen apps. Yes, and my Debian system boots even faster than that, but that’s not the point. Boot speed doesn’t really matter that much as a consumer feature, and trying to have a “boot time” drag race doesn’t really accomplish anything.

The point is more that in businesses and governments yours and my boxes aren’t going to be welcome, but one day (eventually) they will be running Windows 8. When they do, boot speeds will be improved. If on the other hand insanely quick boot times are the first and only priority, then those organizations would choose some other more aggressive, less flexible, highly proprietary system instead.

I've just clean installed Windows 10 on my Eee PC 701sd (with 64gb ssd), which had Windows 7 on it - and used the tutorial for clean install without upgrading first, to activate. I have been having problems with Windows 7 on it recently after running it with that on for a few years. Since December the Windows Updates have had lots of issues and the machine is quite slow at Windows updates at the best of times, and it was due for a refresh, so thought I would try Windows 10 on it. It's worked better than I thought.

Everything working well. The only issue (which I expected) is the screen resolution - it's not that bad, but slightly stretched (not that noticeable) and Windows didn't manage to find a driver for that. I had the same thing with Windows 7 and had to manually install an ACPI driver. Might try that again in compatibility mode (if I can find where I saved the driver). Anyway it runs fine without it.

Windows 10 windows are all useable and resolution looks fine, and they fit on the page with the option to scroll down. My antivirus program page doesn't fit on the screen is the only issue so far but I can drag the screen. Internet is fine. Haven't tried anything else so far. But just wanted to share. I now have clean installs of Windows 10 running perfectly on: HP Pavilion DM4 1050ea Asus Eee PC 904HA (no issues there) And not quite perfect but pretty good on the Asus Eee PC 701sd.

The 701sd is the one with the removable/upgradeable mini ssd, and I had upgraded it from 8gb to 64gb a few years ago, and 2gb Ram. Hi, I actually have Win10 on my EeePC 1005HA after putting Win7 on it a few years ago too, did it a few months ago though, but I think I had to update the Intel Graphics Driver to get the Native 1024 x 600?, not sure if I used a standard intel driver or a hacked one like DanielK's though. You are Right though the standard Settings Window is to big for the screen but scrolls okay, Avast is an issue sometimes too.

Not sure if your's uses intel graphics too? Mine is the intel 945 Express Chipset but the driver is old, from 2009 according to Device Manager and is Version is 8. (makes sense the EeePC is at least that old). Mine is Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset family. I have the latest version from the Asus site for this model which is 6.

I can't remember what I did when I installed Windows 7 - but I'm sure I had to install the ACPI driver and possibly the VGA driver. Anyway tried installing the VGA driver in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP2 and no luck. Which is Daniel K's hacked driver please? I tried installing the ACPI yesterday but didn't like it and started from scratch again today just trying the VGA driver. Looking in device manager, the ACPI driver seems to have been installed by Windows anyway. So far I have set VGA driver to run in compatibility mode in XP sP3 and then tried to update it via device manager.

It came up as recognising the driver and said it wasn't compatible for this version of Windows. So if you know of a hacked driver I'd be grateful:-) I know it's old hardware but I have a box full of these, all in working order. This is the only one with 60GB ssd on. It's kind of a bit of a hobby collecting them and tinkering with them and I really like using them. Although the hobby is wearing a bit thin now I've tried our Son's ipod touch which is much faster. Windows 10 seems fast enough to me on one of these though - if I could sort the graphics driver.

Sorry Hazel, didn't see your replies my Ten Forums emails have been going to junk mail the last 3 days, should of realised when I didn't see any 'Ten' emails yesterday. The ACPI Driver is used by Windows for Power Management and? As far as I know It was the VGA Driver for my Intel Graphics I messed with as the default Win10 driver does not include the Intel Control Panel Applet or Functions, at least it didn't? My EeePc actually updated to Win10 version.494 yesterday A Win7 Graphics Driver should work under Win10, try that not a Win XP or Vista one. Yes it is surprisingly good for a Netbook that came with XP, I don't use it a lot now as I also got myself a M$ Surface 3 with Rewards Points late last yr. I have Used Daniel K's hacked drivers for my computers SoundBlaster Soundcard for a number of yrs, but he also releases 'fixes' for other things as, and when he needs them, I think all his Intel Graphics patch does is add the Control Panel back so you can adjust stuff just make sure your Chip is supported, I would still try the latest Win7 Driver 1st though from Intel.
