    I want to upgrade new windows 7 version without having CD drive

    I just purchased a new netbook with inbuilt windows 7 starter on it. Its Acer aspire one. Now I want to upgrade to windows 7 home premium. I want to know, if I purchase the upgrade, does it need an installation CD? Because this netbook does not consists any CD drive. Can I able to upgrade without having to buy an external CD or DVD drive? If there any ways to do this please give me.

    As per my knowledge you do not require to buy a usual upgrade edition of Windows 7. You only require buy a Windows Anytime Upgrade license. For that visit official side of windows and download Windows Anytime Upgrade, utility. With this you can include latest features to Windows 7 and do much more with your netbook. It’s simple, fast, and you will keep your files, settings and Programs.
