What's the difference between Windows 7 Starter and Windows 7 Home?
The man during a mechanism store only told me Windows 7 Starter is simpler to make make make use of of of as well as it teaches we how to make make make use of of of a programs, as well as it’s reduction complicated.
In what approach is it reduction difficult to make make make use of of of than Windows 7 Home?
I still do not get a difference.

Get the home edition. I’m fairy sure Windows 7 Starter edition is a basic version made to run on low end hardware in third world countries and the likes.

The guy at the computer store is wrong.

Hi there,
There are major differences between Starter and the rest of the Windows 7 editions. This Windows Team Blog post explains what Starter’s purpose is: http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/05/29/let-s-talk-about-windows-7-starter.aspx
"It is important to note that Windows 7 Starter still includes only a subset of the features offered in the higher editions of Windows 7 such as Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional and above. Windows 7 Starter does not include:
* 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."
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
