Installing Vista to Bypass Restrictions

Hello all,

I recently was given a netbook as a gift. This netbook was used for display purposes and so has certain restrictions placed on it which I cannot seem to get rid of (for example, it will not allow me to change the date/time settings). The netbook currently runs on Windows 7 Starter Edition.

I was wondering if installing Vista via disc will rid me of these restrictions and allow me to create a new administrator account.

Thank you in advance.

You should be able to create a regualar administrator account, even with restrictions

I would find out where the computer was bought and find out from them how to make changes. Dont fool around with a new computer. You may lose the warranty.
