Q&A: Windows 7 Performance On A HP Mini 1000 (1035NR)

Computer Technology and Software

August 1st, 2010 by admin

In this video, I get another question regarding Windows 7 on my HP Mini 1000. Coheed, a regular member of our chat room, writes: "I'd like to see you do a followup on your 1050NR Review. Something that shows how Windows 7 is running now, and if you'd choose to go back to Windows XP." Since I don't have a lot of heavy software on the HP Mini, I simply demonstrate various multitasking efforts with the browsers I have installed. I open a few tabs in Google Chrome and Firefox and play some videos on Youtube and Hulu. I also launch some Adobe Air applications like Twhirl. The 2GB of memory I installed on the HP Mini really helps with multitasking, but not necessarily with speed. I'm satisfied with Windows 7 as it is since everything I want to do on the HP Mini works. I don't foresee myself going back to Windows XP until the Windows 7 beta expires in August. I hope this answers your question, Coheed. If you have any questions about the HP Mini or any other topic, send an email to help@bwana.tv. Enjoy!

@juandsi I don’t think a 15GB HDD would be enough for regular Windows 7, but you’d have no problem installing Tiny7 on there.

I found out that if you already have an operating system installed, and want to install Windows 7 to another partition, boot into your operating system, extract the setup file to your current partition, run it, and you’ll be on your way. No need to burn a DVD or mess with a USB flash drive

I don’t care about 1080p youtube, I wana know if it can run 1080p mkv files with dedicated codecs and decoders.

I am of course talking about CCCP + CoreAVC. Can it do that?

Upgrade to a higher version to windows 7 or downgrade to XP SP3. W7 starter won’t let you change background

@TuzlaDK

If it is Windows 7 starter edition you can not change the theme nor wallpaper etc.

dude the clicking sound you are complaining about in your video. i had the same problem. you can fix it by muting the inputs such as mic in, line in, in control panel->sound.
