What are the main differences and disadvantages of windows 7 start up compared to windows 7 home edition?

Question by : What are the main differences and disadvantages of windows 7 start up compared to windows 7 home edition?
Hi,
I am thinking of purchasing a netbook, and have heard that windows 7 start up is not very good. Therefore I am getting put of purchasing a netbook as most within a reasonable budget of £300 have windows 7 start up. So I just need some reassurance.

Thanks in advance : )

Answer by Roy <
“Windows 7 Starter is the lightweight version of the new operating system that only comes with Netbooks. It’s not available for upgrade from Windows XP or Windows Vista, and it’s fairly hamstrung. Sixty-four-bit isn’t available, and the Backup and Restore Center won’t work with network-based drives. It also lacks many of the key features that make Windows 7 appealing. Aero is disabled, as is the new theme manager.

Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player aren’t included, and so it shouldn’t be surprising that none of the more advanced features is baked in, either. XP Mode, which will allow Windows 7 to run XP-only programs, Remote Desktop Host, BitLocker Drive Encryption, and multitouch support are all not available in Windows 7 Starter.

So just what does Starter offer? Users can pin programs to the Taskbar, and the helpful jump lists remain active, too. Snap still functions for quickly resizing program windows, although it doesn’t have its slick Aero look. The revamped Windows Search will work, and other under-the-hood improvements–such as better Wi-Fi and device management–are also fully functional. Users can use the in-place Anytime Upgrade option to buy an upgrade from Starter to Home Premium.”

Razorfish raises the bar for Microsoft-based connected retail experience

The last time I wrote about some of the cool work the creative agency Razorfish were doing on the Microsoft platform – specifically Surface, they were owned by Microsoft. Even though they’ve since been sold by Microsoft, it appears they still have a soft spot for Microsoft platforms. Yesterday, Razorfish announced a beta version of its Retail Experience Platform codenamed “5D” at the National Retail Federation (NRF) conference in New York

You could copy the install files, or make an ISO of the install CD and use it as virtual drive on the netbook.

Q&A: My Dell insprion N5010 windows 7 Starup repair takes more than an hour? HELP?!?!?

Question by Ashley: My Dell insprion N5010 windows 7 Starup repair takes more than an hour? HELP?!?!?
ok i haven’t had this laptop of r even a month yet and i know its not a virus im sure of it… when i turn it on it says start windows normally or windows start up repair so i click the start windows normally but restarts and comes up again then i do start up repair which takes me to a black screen for 2-3 minutes then to a blue screen that has a Grey box that says start up repair is checking ur system for updates:

if problems found, start up repair will fix them automatically. your computer might restart several times during this process.

No changes will be made to your personal files or information. This might take several minutes…. then under is this bar of something loading is says attempting repairs under that says repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete….

The thing is i can leave it for more than 5 hours and it does nothing… it just stays like that… and i need to use my lap top asap i don’t have the order number and i called dell so they couldn’t help… i have the dell drivers and utilities cd rom and the Microsoft works 9

One day i left it on for like 7-8 hours with the laptop being charged to see if the start up repair will go away and the laptop was really HOT but yeah then i turned it off for like 5 hours nd turned it back on same thing….

i tried doing F12 safe mode but still goes back to the same place as it restarts and idk wat to do… PLEASE HELP!

Answer by FatMan
This may differ from pc to pc. Start the computer and click startup repair. If you can try to get CMD (Command Prompt) and type in chkdsk /r and restart. That should check the disc for Bad Sectors and alert you. If there is a problem you may need to replace the Hard Drive. Do not start a scan if a thunderstorm is expected and you are subject to power failures. I also strongly advise an uninterruptible power supply to guard against short-term power outages or fluctuations.

Hope This Helps
