i tried to upgrade to windows 10 but microsoft won't let me

you need 2GB for 64bit and this netbook only has 1GB, windows 7 went on fine

Just install the 32-bit version, no big deal (it's slightly more usable than 7 starter!)

it was entirely at their discretion how to annotate them and they decided to lie
