Making the most out of your Windows 7 Starter without Upgrading

Windows 7 Starter can have features that can make you feel the incomplete experience.
I have used Windows 7 Starter and loved the speed of of it. Since Starter is used basically for browsing the internet but you can step it up into a full featured OS. Just watch the whole video and you will see why not to upgrade because upgrading may cause your old PC or your new Netbook to slow down.

If you really want to watch DVD's I suggest Media Player Classic Home Cinema (Favorite), VLC Media Player, or KMPlayer.
If you want office go OpenOffice.org or go GoogleDocs. If you want only a word processor go AbiWord!
Ok for Media Center, go XBMC!

I made this using Windows Live Movie Maker! and a help with Camstudio and Virtual Box. This ISO is modified using vLite. So its Windows 7 Starter Lite only 1.8 Gig!

@ESLAM0111067548 It depends on what you install in your PC. The lighter the apps the better. Try using Web Apps than traditional apps so you won't use a lot of hard disk space. The Windows folder uses up about 5GB (I suppose, the first install makes 7GB on default). If your using a new laptop. Find a Tech Expert to reformat it for you so you will have the defaults... Without those extra software that you don't really need... Reply to this message please.

how do i get windows dvd maker. it works in concert with movie maker.

[newecreator]

@deitykush Windows DVD Maker is not available in the Starter and Home Basic Editions of Windows 7 and Windows Live Movie Maker will not have the DVD Burning feature in these editions. There are alternatives live Freemake Video Converter & DVDStyler. Try one of them and see what you like...
