As of January 2020, Microsoft isno longer supporting Windows 7.

We recommendupgrading to Windows 10to continue receiving security updates and technical support.

It may still be offered as an option on the netbook models still available for purchase.

Windows 7 Starter Edition

Microsoft

Don’t like the background?

You’ll have to live with what is included.

Note that you also can’t watch DVDs.

Upgrade Options

Also, think about upgrading that netbook to a regular version of Windows 7.

That’s a good choice if you have the money to upgrade.

If you’re able to’t, many consumers are upgrading to Windows 10 Home.

This would be the preferable option as Windows 7’s extended support ended in January 2020.

This was the case when Windows 7 Starter was still in development, but that limitation was dropped.

you’re free to have as many open programs as you want (and that yourRAMcan handle).

Is Windows 7 Starter Edition a Good Option?

Windows 7 Starter is very limitedthere’s no doubt about that.
