Technically, you can probably perform such an upgrade. However, performance is going to be dismal.

What are you trying to gain from the proposed upgrade?

Windows 7 Starter system requirements are the same as Windows 8.1, so yes, it's possible, but don't expect an increase in performance. If you go for Windows 8.1 64-bit, performance will be worse due to you only having the minimum amount of RAM.

I was thinking more of the 32bit version of windows 8.1
What will be the impact, faster or slower performance? My max screen resolution is 1152 x 864( i'm mentioning this because i read some some apps might not work properly with that)

At best, performance would be no faster.
