Has Anybody Installed Windows 7 on this Samsung? Any performance pros or cons when compared to XP SP3?

i have windows 7, runs fine but I stopped the desktop window manager functions to preserve battery life and enhance performance. otherwise, everything runs slowly. I also didn't upgrade the RAM so maybe that's why things are slower with the desktop manager on.

I currently have one running in a 64-bit Win7 system and I don't recall any installation issues. Best of luck.

Well Windows 8 is preinstalled, and of course a bunch of Samsung bloatware comes with that. Nothing really useful, I ended up deleting the vast majority of the stock apps/programs.

Be careful-Dont be satisfied with the Starter version of Windows 7. I hear you then just have to upgrade and pay another $75, or more

I've heard this laptop supports virtulization, but you will need to run windows 7 professional or ultimate. Can someone confirm if the SU7300 supports XP mode?

My buddy has Windows 8 and Samsung or Microsoft is telling him he waited too long to upgrade, so their may be a time limit depending on who built your unit.

I am not able to answer because I kept Windows XP and installed Windows 7 (32 bit) on a separate partition of my PC. I have re-installed on Win 7 all the programs I had on the XP partition and had no problems. All run fine. The same goes for the drivers.

I had this on XP and had problems. Now I have windows 7 and will be trying it on that soon. I hear windows 8 is a pain so I made sure to get 7 instead.

I had no problems with Win 7, did not try Win 8- it started to malfunction and I have not analyzed the problem yet- realized I was not going to use it as much because even with three screens(laptop and two others I can only really have two in content

You can use Windows XP with SP3 (32 bit) or Windows Vista or higher(For 32 or 64 biit).I use it successfully on Windows 7 and Windows 8

I have a 160 gig drive from a crashed laptop. XP argued about it but relented and there is no problem with 7.

Hi T.Lee, I have not had any trouble running this on Windows 7. The OS will work fine.

I did have one. It worked on and off. Bottom line avoid the XPS10. If your looking for a windows tablet get the ASUS T100 with 500 GB hard drive in the keyboard, its an amazing tablet for half the price of the clunky XPS10

I dual boot win 7 and 8.1 and haven't experienced any issues. I find 8.1 to boot up fastest and overall better performance. Win 7 works great though!

Nope, no problems--running Win 7 ultimate and also Win 7 pro and all runs smoothly as advertised. Try clean install. Good luck

My directions do not mention Windows 7 and I installed the software on an XP PC. I have had mine for awhile.
