I have an MSI Wind U100 with an Atom processor, 2GB of 667 Mhz DDR2 RAM and a 256GB SSD I pulled out of a dead laptop.

My question is, would I be better off running Windows 7 Starter or the full version of Windows 7? (Home Premium or higher).

It has a lower power Atom CPU and only 2GB of RAM so would that be enough for the full version of Windows 7?

Would Windows 7 Starter be better suited for an Atom netbook? Would the netbook run faster with Windows 7 Starter?

It's got Win7 Starter on it now and runs OK but I wanted some of the features from the full version of Win7 and I wanted to know if the full version would cause it to run more slowly. Would it?

Going on the MSI website to see specs, and microsoft min requirements your netbook will run fine as long as your not using heavy apps or gaming heavily.
