    Miss Gunner has this netbook and I took all the crap off.Its pre installed with Win xp

    I have windows 7 starter and ran a check to see compatibility and got the below.

    Based on the below is it worth installing? Dont want to install it and it does not work,can see the network adapter is not compatible this mean access to wireless wont work?

    Worth installing if it does work or will it just take up to much space which netbook does not have

    Thanks
