Windows 7  comes in six different editions – Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate. Now choosing the right edition from out of  these six is not a piece of cake. In real world, you’ll have only three Windows 7 to choose from. Let us explain why.

Windows 7 Starter

This edition is built for basic computing tasks such as, e-mailing, net surfing, etc. You won’t get Windows 7 at the retail stores as it will only come pre-installed with new notebook computers globally.

Windows 7 Home Basic

This version is not as limited as the starter edition but it will be available only in developing countries including India, China, Philippines, etc with new computers. Then you have the Windows 7 Enterprise edition which is almost similar to Windows 7 Ultimate for businesses that go for volume licensing.

None of the above mentioned Windows 7 editions will be available for general retail in boxed offerings. Your choice is therefore simplified to the remaining three editions – Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate.

The different editions of Windows 7 are built such that each edition has all the features of the previous editions plus something extra that makes that edition different. Also, users can use the Anytime Upgrade feature to get a serial key online and upgrade your existing Windows 7 to a more advanced edition. To guide you about which edition of Windows 7 you should buy, here’s a quick descriptions of features that are available in each of the Windows 7 versions.

Windows 7 Home Premium

This edition is similar to  XP Home and Vista Home Premium. It is suitable for home users worldwide with a very pleasing Aero glass user interface. Windows 7 Home Premium edition has Windows Media Center to help you play a wide variety of multimedia formats including DVD and there’s a default DVD maker to create DVD movies or for burning files and disk images to CD, DVD, and Bluray disks directly from Explorer.

Windows 7 Professional

This edition offers all the features of Windows 7 Home Premium, and then adds some advanced networking features. For example, the Location Aware Printing feature allows you to choose different default printers for different networks and is useful for people who use the same laptop in multiple locations for example, at home and in office.

Windows 7 Ultimate

It has all the features of Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional, plus some additional enterprise and security related features. Ultimate also lets you use multiple languages on the same system.
