It won't slow down your notebook as long as you have 1 GB of RAM on your notebook.
Upgrade implies that you have to have a copy of Vista home premium in order to install upgrade. Full version is comprehensive and does not require you to have any OS in advance.
Yes, you can upgrade the internal memory of the Acer netbook to 8 GB.

First, Microsoft does not have a "Home Basic" edition of Windows 7 (Home Basic was one of the Vista editions). The most basic edition of Windows 7 is called "Windows 7 Starter" and is only available (at least in the US) on certain small "netbook"-type computers, which may be a bit underpowered for the Home Premium edition. (Note that I'm not saying that any particular one is, just that it's possible.)That said, Windows 7 has a feature called "Windows Anytime Upgrade" that allows you to go from a "lower" edition of Windows 7 (such as Starter) to a "higher" edition (such as Home Premium). The cost is around $80 for the Starter to Home Premium upgrade directly from Microsoft; you may be able to get it for slightly less from retailers such as Amazon.com.If you actually have Windows Vista Home Basic, the upgrade price to Windows 7 Home Premium (again, directly from Microsoft) is about $120.
In theory you should not have any problems but back up your stuff before the upgrade.
No you can't.
Check with Intel to see how much it can use and support. Some Netbooks can be upgraded, but it depends on the Netbook you are using.
it is a premium factory upgrade. pretty much the best that the "factory" can do.
Yes it will have the DVR codecs already when you purchase and install it.
It can be any version of Windows 7 (Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate) but if you want to keep your stuff buy an 'upgrade' version of the DVD. If your computer has become unstable, or cannot boot into Windows, choose the full install as this will install a fresh copy onto your computer. (Only choose this if you want to wipe all the stuff off your hard drive) but if you do all your stuff will be in a folder called Windows.old I recommend Windows 7 Ultimate but it is the most expensive option. Windows 7 Starter is the cheapest but doesn't have the full features of Ultimate. Most people go for Home Premium. (I've got Windows 7 Ultimate Beta)
Yes, you can. As far as you already have OS of older generation installed you can run the upgrade DVD.
