This past weekend I upgraded a second machine to Win 10. It is an Asus eeePC 1001PXD netbook with an Atom 455 cpu and 2GB of RAM. It was running Win 7 Starter.
The upgrade wet fine although it took more than 2 hours to complete. Once booted into Win 10, I started receiving notices about a device driver missing, please install.
I searched for a driver on-line and found that other people had this same issue and that Asus response was that they did not support Win 10 on that model so they would not provide a Win 10 compatible driver. After more research, I found that the driver was needed to support their Hotkeys service which let you use FN + one of the function keys to do things like mute sound, lower volume, raise volume, etc... All of those functions are available thru the OS so I decided I didn't need those Hotkeys so I uninstalled the Hotkeys program and now don't get bothered by those annoying notices!
Other than that, Win 10 runs very well on the machine. One nice bonus is that the upgrade took it from Win 7 Starter to Win 10 Home. A lot of people complain about Win 7 Starter due to some of it's limitations but the only thing it prevented my family from doing that they wanted to do was change the desktop wallpaper. I installed a 3rd party program that allowed the wall paper to be changed and my family was happy. After the upgrade I was able to uninstall that 3rd party program.
