    • I have an Aspire One Series D250 notebook still with Win XP. Has anyone updated it to windows 7?

    This Aspire One still runs Windows XP and I want to update it to at least windows 7.  I have a CD with Win 7 but without a CD reader on this model, I am unsure how to go about updating.  Would win 10 work on this model?

      You can create a bootable USB installation disk from a downloadable iso file from Microsoft. However, you probably will not be satisfied with the sluggish performance of your system on either Win7 or Win10.

      Thanks.  I got it done and how sluggish it behaves really is only noticed when I have a poor Internet connection as day to day stuff in programs like Word, etc. seem to be okay.  At least I am rid of XP and the attendant problems for the future.

      Great job! Did you choose Win7 or Win10?

      Win 7 32-bit is highest ACER site said was doable for this older model unit.  Did not then even consider win 10 for this one.

      I like your kinda thinking! Cuz I still like WinXP. While maybe I like Win7 a bit more. I'm just not sure yet about Win10. 8^) Good luck with the Win7 upgrade!

      Good for you! Did you go with Win7 or Win10? Glad to hear that it isn't as slow as feared! Hope your internet connection gets better! Jack E/NJ

      Sorry Gharibzadeh, message got mixed with older posts. How much RAM do you have in your D250? Jack E/NJ
