I have W7 on mine but there's a 128GB SSD in mine. I'm researching to see if W10 is viable
Which Windows OS for my Asus Eee PC 900?
Hey, umm, what Windows OS would be good for my Asus Eee PC 900? I know, it's almost 20 years old but i want to make it useful. So, what Windows OS would be perfect for my netbook?
Here are the specs of my Eee PC 900:
Intel Celeron M CPU, 900 MHz
16 GB of SSD
2 GB of RAM
Intel GMA 900 GPU (intergrated)
Windows for home | Other | Devices and drivers

Read about it at Asus: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/Eee%20PC%20900XP/HelpDesk_Download/
Your hard drive, SSD, is too small for any later operating system. I wouldn't even use it for XP
Besides XP not being supported, neither is Vista, 7, or 8.
And Microsoft does not sell any of them either, but they do not come for free.
And there is no where safe to buy them from.

I am Dave, I will help you with this.
That laptop originally cam with Windows XP installed, Intel do provide drivers for Windows 7 for that laptop, so, for best performance, I would suggest using Windows XP, but you can also install the 32bit version of Windows 7, if you have a Windows 7 licence.
Android cannot be installed on that laptop, the hardware does not support Android, there would be no Android drivers available for that laptop.
