I have a couple of older Netbooks, they look nice & I like the designs of them. They the HP mini 100e netbooks.

I have maxed out the RAM in both and put an SSD in each one however they are still too slow for internet use and not much point in installing Linux on them. They would have shipped with Windows 7 but the only problem is there are no drivers that actually work. The HP website is useless and I'm not finding much anywhere else I look.

If I can have Windows 7 on these, at least then they'd be useful for running old windows software and I'd be able to do a lot more with them.

I don't suppose anybody knows where I can find an old HP Mini 100e restore ISO?
 
Well so far I found a modified version of Windows 7 to try out and that seems to work better than the original, the display is good enough and I have audio now, I'm still missing a bunch of drivers but if there is really no drivers available for these netbooks then I guess I can live with it. They are still more useful than they would be running Linux.
