    Hi, Windows 7 should activate no problem on it as it sounds like a newly released laptop so should have the new slic bios.

    No just press install and everything else is done by the installer of the loader.

    Hi Malik22

    I have the same laptop that I got this Xmas it does not activate Win7 as it has slic 2.0 bios and not slic 2.1, I modded my bios using Phoenix tool and worked perfect if you qualify for the FREE windows upgrade GET IT acer website does not have all the updated windows 7 drivers and apps and some of what they do have do not work properly eg: launch manager but the upgrade comes with all the apps and drivers on dvd if you use what drivers are on the acer site you will have lots of problems.

    I spent a long time making a driver and apps disc because of the problems I encountered trying to upgrade from my 6930g from vista to win7 even with the upgrade dvd if you do a clean install of Win7 it does NOT install all the required programs.

    My bad, you are correct. I'm actually using 3236 A. And I may have modded it, it was awhile ago...
