If you qualify for the Upgrade price you can do a clean install with the upgrade media. See here for directions. http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/cle...rade_media.asp

Let me make one thing perfectly clear.....
....
I was planning to drop from a 2.8 GHZ processor machine to a 1.6 GHZ processor machine. That's a downgrade, No? Less power? The 1.6 GHZ processor is newer than the old one. It has newer (but less capable) OS software installed. Is that an upgrade? Downgrade? Blessed if I know what to call it. I want to use the older OS either of two variants, because they support all my software I want to use, and they are
paid for. No software upgrade cost. That's what I want....
What I got is a machine that I can't load my OS'es on (either one), can't restore the included OS to a new disk, and with a disk too little for my needs.
In other words, useless. Loaded Mint Linux. It works, but unlike my ASUS EEE PC (with hard drive) it couldn't connect to the internet out of the box. Time to put all of these on the shelf for a couple of months, maybe then I can
buy (shudder) a restore disk. (Acer
sells them, but they don't have any for the Revo available yet.....
And I can't just replace one machine. All my old ones have PS2 connectors and the Revos are strictly USB, so my KMV switch wouldn't work....
