Windows 7 "Starter" On A Laptop?
Dec 21, 2011
I created the universal installation disc from this forums' tutorials.From this, I installed Starter on a laptop I refurbished, which I was eventually going to give to my daughter for college with some flavor of Windows 7.I was curious as to how it looked and if it would be suitable for her work. Well, she saw me working on it, and wanted to live with it for awhile. Been using it for about ten days, and she loves it. Boots up quickly; no crapware; she loves IE9's performance; and Wordpad suits her homework just fine.I know that Starter only came out with OEM netbooks and was not made available to the general public.

My laptop does not shut down fully when I click on shutdown. The only way everything is shut down is using the power button. I also have some performance issues I have 2 drivers that are causing the laptop to run slowly - intel graphics kernal mode driver and Windows driver foundation mode.

Can I remote desktop from windows 7 starter to any computer with XP or 7, without upgrading to 7 Premium? I am looking to buy a net book that has 7 starter loaded on it, but if it can't remote connect then I need to rethink it. I know most net book's do not have enough RAM to run 7.

WindowsStar, my wife's problem is similar, only her Windows 7 Starter won't take her password, so she can't get to the welcome screen. I've pulled the battery off, and also did a restart. Still, the only option is type the friggin' password, and it won't take it.

I would prefer to have windows in C drive and all my data in another drive. I don't need HP tools . Deleting this partition will enable me to have linux as dual boot( right now it is not possible as it has already 4 primary partitions ).Is it possible to reinstall windows 7 starter from a cd or pendrive and just enter the serial number given in the sticker at the bottom (like windows xp which came with an installation cd). This way I can partition it the way I want. If it is possible, where can i download an installation cd ?

My Dell 1100 notebook has Windows 7 Starter installed. I know that in this system the search function works in the form of a search box which appears when clicking the start icon. However, the box has never appeared. I have been suggested by some acquaintances that the search box is not pre-installed in Windows 7 Starter. But, as a matter of fact, I have seen that it is indeed as you can gather from visiting the Microsoft page.

2 days ago, i bought a Netbook equipped with windows starter. I needed a cheap computing solution for college since i only need Word, Maple and Google chrome to make me happy during my free times at school. It's brand new and was equipped with Mcafee internet security 60 days trial which i took cause it was already installed and ready to work, anyway. I received message from windows update which i ignored for the last day since i didn't needed to use my netbook at all. I finally did the update today. And then. Boom. While rebooting, BSOD.(Reminded me of windows 98 and ME since i hadn't seen one in the last 10 years XD ). Memory dump, and rebooting. Then the apparently now famous Windows couldn't boot appeared and they offered me to try to run windows normally or to use the restore. I tried to run it again, which failed. So i did restored but now i'm still with the same problem while updating windows. I have checked on many forums but their similar problems are from 2010. And my netbook has been manufactured not two month ago since it's a new model.
What should i do fellow Windows 7 users?

I notice that most netbooks installed with 1GB RAM only. Some of the newer Atom N550 CPU netbooks don't even allow user to upgrade memory (panel underneath locked). So I wonder if 1GB is truely enough for Starter edition because it uses less memory than others?

At my first installation of Windows 7 to my netbook there were 2 language options: Turkish & English Today I decided to reinstall Windows 7 from, umm what you call, the partition where is located Windows 7 setup files, the hidden part of the HDD. I pressed F11, it didn't worked. Googled it and I'm right, it is F11 for Casper's netbooks.
Then I tried F8, then reinstall Windows 7 (which does not exists on my desktop PC interestingly), and I installed it without problem. Even it backuped the old files. And didn't touched some folders under C. But it is not clean installation as you can see it backuped the old files, didn't touched some folders under C, and the most inportant part is that now it is Turkish! Where is my English Windows 7?
I want to ask how can I start this Windows setup which is hidden at the HDD? Is there something like Linux distro and app to start it. I have USB sockets but not CD/DVD/etc... hardware.

I have a home network (MSHOME) where I connect 3 XP home and 1 Windows 7 Ultimate x64 computers and have file, printer and internet sharing . Belkin N+ Router and ADSL modem.My setup works great. Now my Sister is visiting and I can not get her (Donna PC) Eeepc 1015PE with Windows 7 Starter, online.As with the Windows 7 Ultimate computer I had to use a static IP to get on my LAN. With Donna-PC I can connect to the LAN and see the other Windows 7 computer but not the XP ones.Can not connect to the internet with IE or Firefox. With Donna-PC I can interrogate my Belkin router as with the other computers with HTTP://192.168.2.1,Ipv6 is ticked off and a static address of 192.168.2.7is set in ipv4 with gateway as 192.168.2.1 and no alternate. My DHNS pool is from 192.168.2.2 - .6The network map on Donna-pc shows this pc connected to to the Belkin router with a red X between the router and the internet. The network is unidentified, public. Have not been able to name it MSHOME or change it to a home network.I can double click on the.unidentified network and a box comes up and invites me to change the network name but I can not.I suspect the problem with no internet access is because this computer insists it is on a public network and not a home network. As I am networking with XP and Windows 7 computers I am using the old MSHOME name and not Windows 7 work group. Works fine on all but this guest Donna-pc.
