They struggled with Windows XP. Windows 7 worked but required better hardware. His netbook uses an Atom 455 processor – a single-core chip running at 1.66GHz, with just 512 KB of L2 cache. It handles only about two instructions per cycle and SMT support is limited to certain models. I’m unsure if the CPU supports it. To run Windows 7 you’d need a more powerful setup: Atom with SMT, dual-core, 64-bit CPU, 2GHz or higher, and newer architecture versions. Many netbooks using Windows 7 relied on faster dual-core Celeron processors.
