You can first copy the Windows 8 installation file inside the Windows 7. And then run the update in Windows 7. The only USB port is reserve for the keyboard as navigator during installation process.
Cheers!

As Windows 8 is going to be designed to narrow the gap between desktop, laptop, tablet, etc., I would assume that you wouldn't need a keyboard or mouse (assuming you have a touchscreen)

Big W are selling these for $125. Is it worth it as a "second" computer for the kids to use for homework (eg. reading eggs and mathletics) and the odd bit of internet searching?

I think you will find this is not the WindPad 110W with Windows 7 but the unit with Android and the Cortex CPU !!

Big W is selling these MSI WindPad for $174. Is it worth the money? I use it for watching TV and downloading emails... what do you think?

Bought the windpad for office use but it runs so slow and hangs up. The warrantee period is very much an issue as they charge to even look at it. Something must be wrong as your and other posts never mention this issue.

I have the MSI WindPad 110W 32 gb hard drive with Windows 7 (home), and when I run the windows 8 install, it says there's not enough room. I did the full reformat to factory last night, which leaves it with a whopping 10 gb free space (sigh), and the Windows 8 install says it needs 20gb free space... how did you manage to install Windows 8?

Where do I find the BookList for downloads.
Also the costs of downloading books/music?

this review was really great..in just several minute 've changed my mind. MSi 110 is not my list now.
