    I plan to replace Windows 7 starter with a better Windows 7

    I'd like to put some of the software onto my N220 plus that is there by default.

    Particularly CyberLink YouCam

    I wouldn't mind just putting it all on then uninstalling what I don't want.

    When I go here I see a bunch of software but nothing about Cyberlink so I am guessing it's not all at that link.. Is there anywhere else that has all the software/utilities?

    Support for NP-N210P

    The laptop includes Norton internet security, Norton online backup, Phoenix failsafe, AnyPC
    i'm not sure I want all of these, but if I did, would I have to install them all individually?

    and how would I do that for say Cyberlink youcam

    as it looks not free

    The Samsung download site does not offer any 3rd party software. If you make a backup copy of the system drivers and software using Samsung Recovery Solution then you can reinstall only those drivers and software that you want using Easy Software Manager (which is ready to run on the backup copy).

    currently it has windows 7 starter.
    so can I install windows 7 ultimate for example, from a CD, then install the samsung programs like easy software manager, then whichever programs I backed up?

    Yes, provided (i) you have a valid key for your version of Windows and (ii) there aren't any 32 / 64 bit glitches.
