reinstall windows 7 starter on Acer netbook




I have trouble removing preinstalled McAfee from my Acer netbook, and I was wondering what other junk they might preinstall on it.


I was thinking that just installing windows 7 starter over all that junk would be faster. I have a sticker with a serial number on the bottom. I know I need to get a 4Gb USB stick, but how do I download the installation to put on it? Are there any other gotchas I need to be aware of?


Edit: I know that removing McAfee is very involved, and I think that it is easier to just nuke and pave it over.
