Hello!
What I'm about to say isn't really all that relevant here. It's just my $.02 worth.
Most netbooks only have one DDR2 RAM slot, meaning a maximum of 2 GB RAM. They usually ship with 1 GB RAM, which is why they shipped with 7 Starter pre-installed.
7 Professional - even 32-bit - just can't run well on 1 GB RAM. Even with 2 GB RAM, you still need a 3-4 GB swap file with 7 Professional to have it perform at its best.
FWIW, I run 8.1 Pro on my 2 GB netbook, and it isn't bad - depending on what I do...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
