Ben Joan. Here is a diagram, straight from Microsoft, that gives a good general overview of this:. Microsoft recommends Home Premium for the most basic computer users, who use their computers to do common things such as email, surf the web, edit documents, etc.
The next step up from Home Premium is Windows 7 Professional, which adds three major features: XP Mode , Domain Join , and the ability to back up to a home or business network. XP Mode is basically a way to allow people to run older software, that is not compatible with Windows 7. It allows you to join the computer to a Windows Server Active Directory domain. This is another feature that can be replaced using several of the great freeware apps out there. If you are planning on using this a feature like this at the office, take into consideration that most businesses do not use Windows backup.
The majority of the time, they use specialized solutions. Now, what features does Professional lack from Ultimate. Two main things: Bitlocker, and multilingual support. In fact, Microsoft will soon discontinue support for Windows XP. Depending on when you read this article, support may have already terminated for Windows XP. Windows XP has been superseded by Vista and Windows 7, but it has a wide installed base.
Windows 7 is similar in features to Windows Vista, however it includes several bug fixes and new enhancements. When upgrading, we will typically upgrade to Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. However, sometimes we will want to stick with Windows XP, because of the compatibility with hardware and software. XP is more compatible with older hardware and software that might still be in use at home or in a business environment. When it comes to hardware, we might find that Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8, are unable to use some hardware.
When we upgrade to newer version of Windows, we may need to get new drivers for our hardware. So, because of that we will notice that many people are still installing Windows XP for hardware and software compatibility. Sometimes new hardware will only have drivers for newer operating system, for example, for Windows 8 and not for Vista and older. In that case we would have to upgrade to Windows 8 in order to use that hardware. For example, those features are Aero, search and indexing capabilities, sidebar and gadgets, improvements with Media Center, BitLocker which offers encryption of the data on your hard drives, etc.
All these features are not available on Windows XP. When choosing between Vista and Windows 7, we will often find that Windows 7 is the better choice. Windows 7 is an update and an upgrade from Windows Vista, and is at least as compatible as Vista with hardware and software. In addition to choosing the operating system version, we will also need to choose the edition.
Each edition has a subset of features for an intended market. Typically every Windows version has a Home edition, or a Home Premium. Those editions are intended for a small network in a home environment. Your one place to find, manage, and distribute apps to Windows 11 devices in volume.
