Re: [LegacyUG] Windows 7 (Starter)
I don't have any first hand experience with this, but I don't see why Legacy wouldn't work fine on Windows 7 Starter. 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 - Original Message - From: Robert E.

RE: [LegacyUG] Windows 7 (Starter)
Robert, this could also indicate a Red Flag. Before deciding check out the graphics card, processor, and memory capacity. If these meet Your requirements for Your specific intended use of the Netbook, then the Windows Starter OS, or base OS as Bob pointed out, should work just fine. As Bob point out, Starter is a stripped down version of the Windows OS. Unfortunately, I have never used Windows 7 starter version, and cannot comment on its reliability, from experience.

Re: [LegacyUG] Windows 7 (Starter)
Robert I have an HP netbook with Windows 7 Starter, and Legacy works fine on it. The netbook just works a bit slower than what you're used to and you can't have very many programs open at the same time on it, but for working in libraries or traveling, it's a great resource because it's fairly lightweight.

Re: [LegacyUG] Windows 7 (Starter)
Robert, I have a Dell netbook with Windows 7 Starter on it and my Legacy works fine with it. I only use it for travelling and going to the library or genealogy meetings because the screen is so small and I don't see well, but other than that, it works fine for me. I use dropbox so it stays up to date. Janet On Sun, Oct 30, 2011 at 6:11 AM, Robert E. Carneal kentuckygenealog...@gmail.com wrote: *I am being offered a Netbook for a good price.

RE: [LegacyUG] Windows 7 (Starter)
Robert, I purchased an Acer netbook in March 2011. It has Win 7 starter along with MS Office starter. Legacy works just fine and have even been able to multitask, ie have Legacy, Excel and a browser open. Although I don't have all my family fines on the netbook, I do have it networked to connect to my desktop which runs Win XP. I have dropbox and evernote on my netbook, desktop and smartphone, so I have my basic info when and where ever I need it. Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Windows 7 (Starter)
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.

RE: [LegacyUG] Windows 7 (Starter)
What you are talking about does not require fancy graphics. Very high rez photos should be trimmed down for this purpose, however. The best you are going to get on a computer screen is 96 dots per inch [DPI]. If you have really high rez, they are going to be 1200 dpi or there abouts. If you have a lot of photos like that you will fill a CD very quickly if you are going to share your tree [and related photos] with family members. Bob Rowe Into Genealogy?
