If it is anything like Vista then you will have to pay for the upgrade. My PC came with Vista Basic a few years ago and I paid around £60 to upgrade to Home Premium.

Microsoft charge £99.99 for the upgrade:

Take a look at the Comparison Chart here:

If you can tell us what it is that you need, but haven't currently got, we might be able to suggest some free third-party software which will do the job as well (or better) than the missing Microsoft components.

That is to upgrade from Vista etc.

They do a special Starter to Home Premium upgrade and Amazon have it for les than £60

Thanks for the correction, VHG.

Marymoomoo might still want us to recommend some suitable freebies though ;-)
I'd be interested to know what Mary feels is missing from starter that would actually run properly or be relevant on a netbook.
Starter is just perfect for a netbook. It does everything you need to do, leaves out the resources hogging extras. Keeps it lean, exactly what is needed.
