I did that with my old asus eee pc - netbook, not much memory, small ssds
then. Much too small even for xp soon, so it literally lay around
for years. A few years ago, I installed ubuntu on it - perfect! Well, not
completely, but a new life for a very handy small computer.

Sometimes (rarely) it is allowed to come out - microsoft has the copyright
on ntfs and the tools to fix problems with that file system fast.
But I don't allow windows to phone home - no lan when it's on!
