Here is the link for MS in case you are looking to purchase you can either have it sent to you or downloaded to install: Microsoft Store Online - Windows Anytime Upgrade: Windows 7 Starter to Home Premium - Buy and download from Microsoft Store
Edit: sorry for mistake the anytime upgrade can be done without disk

In my honest opinion I think you'd be making a mistake trying to upgrade your netbook.
Whilst what you've got is fine for e-mailing and surfing the Internet, it's low RAM and graphics would prevent or slow down tasks such as photo and video editing.
By all means, run the Windows Ugrade Advisor, but I think you're better off to save up and buy a performance laptop rather than upgrade your netbook. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion Elite 495UK

This might not be of any use to you, but I suggest installing Ubuntu or Linux Mint onto your netbook. It would run much faster than with Windows 7. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion dv6-2020ev

I agree with you Slash that it would be faster for the netbook than Windows 7, but it has a bit of a learning curve if youve never seen Linux systems.
Edit: not to say its not possible, just would need a bit of resources on how to navigate Ubuntu or Mint | | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop
