Netbooks that don't run some version of Windows won't work. Most of the really cheap ones are running the Chrome OS and are strictly for browsing the web, etc. They're like tablets, only less capable.
Go to the Dell outlet website and you can find a pretty good buy on a low-end Windows laptop with minimum of 4 GB of RAM and at least a 128 GB hard drive. They still have some with Windows 7 available, and that'd be your best choice. Windows 8.1 has a terrible interface, and Windows 10 won't be out for a few more months.
