Robert, You can upgrade. My HP netbook came with Windows 7 starter. I upgraded to Windows 7 Pro. Probably more than what I really need, but bottom line is that it works very well with Legacy.

That would come under "fancy graphics"? Some of the photos are super high definition. (Too high really, the photo size is too big!) I guess I am looking for a Chevy I can plug "large picture files" into. <g> I was told I could upgrade it, and I am considering that. Thank you. Robert Genealogy without documentation is mythology!

Stripped down mostly means that the OS doesn't have all the fancy graphic stuff because of the limited graphics card, processor, and memory. Legacy doesn't require or use any fancy graphics. It will run fine on any 'base' machine. I think that "Starter" is a terrible name for an 'base' Operating System. I think people see it as being substandard. If you thrive on all the fancy graphics then I guess it is substandard. A basic Chevy will take you to all the same places that a Cadillac will. Bob ________________________________ From: "Robert E.

The problem is it has Windows 7 Starter on it. I am leery of that- does anyone have a Netbook with Windows 7 Starter on it, and is running Legacy on it? How well does Legacy run on it? Several Internet sites said the "Starter" version was really stripped down, so I want to be certain first. I want to be sure it will accommodate Legacy, accommodate my photos, etc. Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
