WHAT DOES "WINDOWS 7 STARTER" MEAN?
2069932
Windows 7 Starter, the limited edition of Windows 7. The restrictions that owns this edition are: No Aero support: you can only use opaque issues and will not have the taskbar and Aero Peek Customizing the desktop: you can not change the desktop background, window colors as combinations or sound. Forget to put your background or your business corporate screen saver. Rate user: user not allowed to change without logging off and re-identify. Multi-monitor: important because due to this can be corrupted to connect to a projector, one of the things for which most laptops are used in many businesses, or simply connect your netbook to a larger screen. XP Mode: for those who want more than the ability to run Windows XP programs in Windows 7

Windows 7 is pre-installed. Windows 8 however suits the PC well if that's your preference.

I just saw that it's Windows 7 you want to go to. It's the same procedure basically. You need to get your data off that system if possible. You'll also need a Windows 7 install disk.

You'll need to buy Win 8 Pro (Sounds stupid, I know)then downgrade to Win 7.It's cheaper and easier to download Classic Shell and use that for the start menu like i have.

No, you do not have to delete the starter version. Just follow the one-screen prompts & input your key-codes to activate. First thing after that, immediately go to Windows Update and download all the current patches, etc. You should have no problems.

I don't believe this will help you. This, I believe, just updates from Starter 7, a silly money making microsoft scheme installed on netbooks. I would write to microsoft to be sure.

The item I ordered has been upgraded to Windows 7 Pro. It was a rebuild from an XP configuration.

Mine did not. It was totally bare but the computer recognized it upon installation and I had no trouble installing Windows 7.

I think it should. According to this website:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778(v=vs.85).aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_xp...it says Windows 7 Starter's limit on X86 (32-bit) is 2GB, unless Microsoft has some type of lock and forces you to upgrade their OS so you can utilize more memory.

Windows 7 Pro came pre-installed with upgrade disks for windows 8. The original 'load' was very basic with not many add-ons(nice).

Windows 8 is a major overhaul to the Windows setup that most people do not like. I specifically bought this computer because I did not want Windows 8. So it is probably Windows 7 because there is still some demand for it out there.

Yes. I found it is best to start Win 7 in safe mode - load the drivers - then reboot.

It self-installed in less than a minute in both my HP G56 laptop running Windows 7 (64-bit) and my Acer Aspire One running Windows 7 Starter (32-bit). Of note, when plugging it into my G56 AFTER already being logged in, the drive runs noisily, and continues to run, searching for a floppy until finally inserting a disk.

Windows 7 is the operating system out of the box. You don't need to do anything.

My directions do not mention Windows 7 and I installed the software on an XP PC. I have had mine for awhile.

I am not sure what it was really, but a computer engineer set it up and it had way too many problems. It was Windows 8 that was converted to Windows 7. Was shipped back yesterday. I went out & bought a Windows 8.1 64-bit & had someone else set the page to look like xp or windows 7. It works great and no problems.
