Howdy all,
I received a s10-2 with a n280 processor over the holidays, and after playing around for a bit with Windows 7 Starter, I decided that I wanted to install my copy of Windows 7 Professional. It's a full retail version I'd bought to use on my notebook, then said notebook died in November before I got the chance.
I backed up the factory disk partitions to my desktop, then ported my Win 7 dvd over to a USB drive. I installed from the USB, wiping the partitions in the process. Used my Win 7 Professional product key, everything worked out fine.
Then, when downloading the drivers for the s10-2, I must've had a blank moment because I accidentally selected s10 instead of s10-2. Luckily, I caught my mistake before I downloaded the full suite of drivers. Unfortunately, I used my home network to begin installation of the first download I'd managed before I realized my mistake; which of course was for chipset drivers.
Looking through the s10-2 downloads, there are no chipset drivers listed for windows 7 OS. However, there was a chipset driver listed for windows 7 under s10 and that is what I installed by accident. The netbook is working, but I've never made such a mistake, so I don't know what to expect. Will the chipset drivers from the s10 be used, or will windows 7 just continue to use whatever drivers it was using to begin with? I assume it has adequate drivers built in since, as mentioned, there are none listed under s10-2 downloads for the win 7 platform.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Do steps need to be taken (reinstallation of win 7 / removal of the s10 drivers), or will windows 7 ignore the s10 drivers and continue to drive the s10-2 itself?
Thanks to anyone that can help. No more driver downloading at 1am for me.
