Think about what version of Microsoft Windows 7 is right for you?

  
Windows 7 contains multiple versions. I believe many people already know that in our actual use, due to psychological factors in obtaining piracy, many users often choose the top-end Windows7Ultimate Ultimate, but we have to ask, the flagship version is true. Is it suitable for our needs? Is there any better?
The above question seems very strange, because the flagship version of Windows7's top-end version is undoubtedly "best". There is nothing wrong, but at the same time we have a sentence called "The most suitable is the best", specifically to each of our users, the flagship version must be the most appropriate? First not busy with the conclusion, Let's take a look:
Windows7 contains a total of six versions, namely: Windows7Starter Starter Edition, Windows7HomeBasic Home Basic Edition, Windows7HomePremium Home Premium Edition, Windows7 Professional Professional Edition, Windows7 Enterprise Enterprise Edition and Windows7Ultimate Ultimate Edition.
Next, let's take a look at the differences between these versions:
Windows7 Starter Edition is the lowest-end version of Windows 7, not appearing in the retail market, mainly for the netbook market and the OEM market. If no Aero effects are acceptable, the lack of 64-bit support and the inability to change the desktop background will make the version less useful. Therefore, for most users, the preliminary version can exclude our use. .
Windows 7 Home Basic is Microsoft's simplified version of Windows 7 Home Edition for emerging markets. It already has a wealth of features, such as support for multiple monitors and mobile centers, while supporting some Aero effects, missing features including Tablet support, remote desktop, media center, etc., while Home Basic can only join can not create a home network group (HomeGroup).
In terms of functionality, the author believes that the Home Basic Edition is sufficient for most home users, and although its name is Home Edition, it is for many Chinese business users, especially SME users. Words, still practical, the reason is very simple. First, the Home Basic Edition is the lowest price among all Windows 7 retail versions. The official retail price is 399 RMB, which effectively reduces the cost of the enterprise. Secondly, some of the Aero effects that are missing from the Home Basic Edition cannot be created. Home network group, tablet support and other functions are unnecessary functions for ordinary employees in small and medium-sized enterprises. Once again, after simplifying a large number of functional components, Windows7 Home Basic Edition has much less dependence on hardware, PC hardware. The performance can be better utilized.
Windows 7 Home Premium adds more features than the Home Edition, supports all desktop effects, supports media centers, builds home network groups, etc., but does not support XP mode, Windows domain and multi-language. The official retail price is 699 yuan.
It can be said that the Home Premium Edition already contains various functional components that can be used by home users. For example, in an environment where multiple PCs want to set up a home network, users can choose a home premium version and several sets of homes. The normal version, as far as possible to save costs, achieves the maximum function requirements, and because the home version of Windows7 has streamlined many functions that are not required by home users, it does not significantly reduce the performance of the PC hardware and affect the user experience. The author believes that for most users, if you consider genuine, the home version of Windows7 is the most cost-effective choice.
Windows 7 Professional has added a number of enterprise features, such as Active Directory, Domain, Remote Desktop, Network Backup, Location-aware printing, encrypted file system, demo mode, Windows XP mode, etc. The official retail price is 1399 yuan. This version of the feature has been enriched to meet the daily work needs of almost all enterprises, Microsoft's positioning for the professional version is in the enterprise environment or Windows enthusiasts, but if you have not heard of the above new features, It won't be used (in fact, for many office PCs, their job is to read and write documents, print documents, and communicate), then, as mentioned above, the home version is also qualified for our corporate environment. Demand, we do not need to increase investment, in a corporate environment, there are several PCs equipped with Windows7 Professional Edition enough to meet the needs of the application.
Windows 7 Enterprise Edition and Windows 7 Ultimate have no difference in functionality. The reason for dividing into two versions is only in the licensing method and related applications and services. These two versions have all the functional components of Windows7. Of course, the author also needs to remind netizens that it is because of the richness of functions, the flagship version also greatly increases the hardware performance consumption. Before choosing, you need to first Can you use these features for enterprise data sharing, management, security, multi-language package support, UNIX application support, BitLocker Drive Encryption, BranchCache, etc. If you just want to satisfy the next "most complete" Is it worthwhile to choose a system with 90% of the functions that cannot be used? More importantly, these functions that you don't need will also consume hardware resources. If you want to experience the flagship version, spend a lot of money to upgrade the PC. Hardware configuration is undoubtedly unwise. Therefore, the author believes that users must consider their application needs when choosing the flagship version, and do not blindly obey, resulting in a significant decline in the use experience. Of course, for companies that need to use the flagship features, the comprehensive capabilities can meet the business needs of any enterprise.
