Oh you didn’t know? Well you can download Windows 7 legally from Microsoft on a 1 year trial.

But wait how do you get it onto your netbook? Well PC World has given 3 ways to install software such as Windows 7.

1) Buy a USB DVD drive. This is by far the easiest solution, and it’ll simplify installing any other software you may have on CDs or DVDs.

2) If you have a USB flash drive with at least 4GB of storage, you can make it bootable using the open-source Live USB Helper utility, then use the free Daemon Tools Lite to “mount” the ISO file to the drive.

3) If you have an external hard drive, you can copy the ISO to it and boot from it, just like the with flash drive. Okay, it’s a little more involved than that, but this is definitely the easiest method that doesn’t involve buying a DVD drive.
