This version of Windows is Windows 7 Starter Edition Release to Manufacturing Build 7600. The main features stripped from this version of Windows 7 is
1) You have no personalization option whatsoever with the exception of changing the screen resolution and the option to change the theme to the Windows Classic Scheme (to do this, click Start, Control Panel, Appearance, Display(On the left) and click Change color scheme. Thanks to penguinisnuts for providing this information).

2) Many applications have not been included, such as the DVD Maker, etc.

3) Of course, it does NOT have the Aero Interface

Microsoft has removed the 3 application limit. I ran 5 programs at once to test this, but no more, since it slowed down considerably (this was done in a virtual machine). I also cut the time it took to boot up, which was maybe 1 minute 30 seconds (it took a while, since it was in the VM). It of course does have the new fancy boot screen, although it will change to the Vista boot screen if you have a netbook or a monitor whose native resolution is below 1024x786.

Comment if you have a question, I'll be happy to answer it for you.

  • Whew, I have Windows 7 Home premium, but I came here to see whats with Starter.. The boot is so slow -.- Home premium's boot up is 20-30 seconds, and my computer's specs are just slow.. Its Intel Core i3 processor, 2.40 GHz

  • @XyborgProductions Since this video was recorded in a virtual machine, the boot time is very inaccurate. I'm sure it would boot just as quickly as the other versions, but without a lot of necessary features. My Windows 7 ultimate also boots quickly, but only because it has an SSD.

  • @ kiotieiii Can you help.. When i open my screen resolution its locked at 640x480... can you help with this problem thanks.

  • @rasenganb41 Have you installed the driver for your video hardware?

  • o please please please tel me the name of the song please!!!

  • how did u get your boot screen to do the windows 7 home premium or up to look like that my windows 7 starter was upgraded but it doesnt do that ( Dell Inspirion Mini 1012)

  • well im going to buy a new pc and I wanted to ask if the win7 starter is as fast as the home premium? because the price difference between this and the home premium is drastically lower!

  • I am trying to find someone who will tell me what standard games comes with the 7 starter edition.

  • @kiotieiii Well my mom brought the windows 7 professional version.. can you tell me where i can install the driver. not so good with computers yet. lol
