How do you upgrade from windows 7 starter edition to windows 7 edition?

Most people who have been following news about Windows 7 know that there are three primary editions -- Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate -- to choose from. But did you know there's a fourt edition, known as Windows 7 Starter? It's not well known, but as people explore Windows 7, they're starting to wonder if this edition is for them.

Read on to find out. For Netbooks Only The most important thing to know is that Windows 7 Starter edition is exclusively for use on netbook computers. You can't get it on a standard PC (nor would you want it, in most cases.) It is currently offered as an upgrade on a number of netbooks, including the Dell Inspiron Mini 10v and the HP Mini 110.

On both systems, it's a $30 upgrade from the base operating system (OS), which is Windows XP Home edition for both. What it Doesn't Have Windows 7 Starter is a significantly stripped-down version of Windows 7. Here's some of what it's missing, courtesy of a Microsoft blog posting: Aero Glass, meaning you can only use the "Windows Basic" or other opaque themes.

It also means you do not get Taskbar Previews or Aero Peek. Personalization features for changing desktop backgrounds, window colors, or sound schemes. The ability to switch between users without having to log off.

Multi-monitor support. DVD playback. Windows Media Center for watching recorded TV or other media.

Remote Media Streaming for streaming your music, videos, and recorded TV from your home computer. Domain support for business customers. XP Mode for those that want the ability to run older Windows XP programs on Windows 7.

One feature that will be most missed is the ability to change your desktop look. Don't like the background you get? Sorry, Charlie; you have to live with.

Note that you also can't watch DVDs. But if you can live without those features and want the stability and strong performance of Windows 7, it's an option worth considering. Upgrade Options Also, think about upgrading that netbook to a regular version of Windows 7.

One thing the Microsoft blogger referenced earlier is the ability to run a non-Starter version of Windows 7 on a netbook. That's a good choice, if you have the money to upgrade; first, however, be sure to check out the netbook's system specs and compare it to Windows 7's system requirements. If you can run it, I would recommend upgrading, since Windows 7 is a huge improvement over Windows XP.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
