Windows 7 home premium отличия от ultimate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Windows 7, a major release of the Microsoft Windows operating system, has been released in several editions since its original release in 2009. Only Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate were widely available at retailers (including Enterprise for big businesses, companies etc.).[1] The other editions focus on other markets such as the software development world. All editions support 32-bit IA-32 CPUs and all editions except Starter support 64-bit x64 CPUs. 64-bit installation media are not included in Home-Basic edition packages, but can be obtained separately from Microsoft.

According to Microsoft, the features for all editions of Windows 7 are stored on the machine, regardless of which edition is in use.[2] Users who wish to upgrade to an edition of Windows 7 with more features were able to use Windows Anytime Upgrade to purchase the upgrade and to unlock the features of those editions, until it was discontinued in 2015.[1][2][3] Microsoft announced Windows 7 pricing information for some editions on June 25, 2009, and Windows Anytime Upgrade and Family Pack pricing on July 31, 2009.[1][4][5]

Mainstream support for all Windows 7 editions ended on January 13, 2015, and extended support ended on January 14, 2020. After that, the operating system ceased receiving further support.[6] Professional and Enterprise volume licensed editions had paid Extended Security Updates (ESU) available until at most January 10, 2023.[7] Since October 31, 2013, Windows 7 is no longer available in retail, except for remaining stocks of the preinstalled Professional edition, which was officially discontinued on October 31, 2016.[8]

Windows 7 Starter Desktop
Windows 7 Starter
Windows 7 Starter is the edition of Windows 7 that contains the fewest features. It was only available in a 32-bit version and does not include the Windows Aero theme. The desktop wallpaper and visual styles (Windows 7 Basic) are not user-changeable. It was initially intended to be restricted to running up to three simultaneous programs like previous Starter releases of Windows, however this was dropped in the final release.[9] It only supports up to 2 GB of RAM.
This edition was available pre-installed on computers, especially netbooks or Windows Tablets, through system integrators or computer manufacturers using OEM licenses.[1][10][11]
Windows 7 Home Basic
Windows 7 Home Basic was available in «emerging markets», in 141 countries.[12] Some Windows Aero options are excluded along with several new features.[1] This edition was available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions and supports up to 8 GB of RAM. Home Basic, along with other editions sold in emerging markets, includes geographical activation restriction, which requires users to activate Windows within a certain region or country.[13]
Windows 7 Home Premium
This edition contains features aimed at the home market segment, such as Windows Media Center, Windows Aero and multi-touch support. It supports up to 16 GB of RAM and was available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.[14]
Windows 7 Professional
This edition is targeted towards enthusiasts, small-business users, and schools.[1] It includes all the features of Windows 7 Home Premium, and adds the ability to participate in a Windows Server domain.[1] Additional features include support for up to 192 GB of RAM (increased from 16 GB),[15] up to two physical CPUs, operating as a Remote Desktop server, location aware printing, backup to a network location, Encrypting File System, Presentation Mode, Software Restriction Policies (but not the extra management features of AppLocker) and Windows XP Mode.[1] It was available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.[14]
Windows 7 Enterprise
This edition targeted the enterprise segment of the market and was sold through volume licensing to companies which have a Software Assurance (SA) contract with Microsoft.[1] Additional features include support for Multilingual User Interface (MUI) packages, BitLocker Drive Encryption, and UNIX application support.[1] Not available through retail or OEM channels, this edition is distributed through SA.[1] As a result, it includes several SA-only benefits, including a license allowing the operating of diskless nodes (diskless PCs) and activation via Volume License Key (VLK).[16]
Windows 7 Ultimate
Windows 7 Ultimate is the edition of Windows 7 that contains the most features. It includes all the features of Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional while also adding some additional enterprise-oriented features that were available on the SA-exclusive Windows 7 Enterprise, making it feature-complete with the latter; this edition was also available to home users on an individual license basis.[1] If a Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional user wished to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, they would be able to do so by using Windows Anytime Upgrade, for an additional fee. This service was still available for any users who wish to upgrade.[1] Like Windows 7 Professional, it supports up to 192 GB of RAM and up to two physical CPUs, and was available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Unlike Windows Vista Ultimate, it does not include the Windows Ultimate Extras feature or any other exclusive features that Microsoft has stated.[1]

Special-purpose editions

[edit]

The main editions also can take the form of one of the following special editions:

N and KN editions
The features in the N and KN Editions are the same as their equivalent full versions, but do not include Windows Media Player or other Windows Media-related technologies, such as Windows Media Center and Windows DVD Maker due to limitations set by the European Union and South Korea, respectively.[17] The cost of the N and KN Editions are the same as the full versions, as the Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N or Windows 7 KN can be downloaded without charge from Microsoft.[18]
E edition
The features in the E edition are the same as their equivalent full versions, but does not include Internet Explorer due to limitations set by the European Union. The cost of the E edition was cheaper than the full version.[19]
Signature Edition
The Signature Edition of Windows 7 is a commemorative edition of Windows 7 Ultimate for those throwing a Windows 7 launch party.[20] It is functionally the same as Windows 7 Ultimate.

In-place upgrade from Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 to Windows 7 is supported if the processor architecture and the language are the same and their editions match (see below).[1][3][21] In-place upgrade is not supported for earlier versions of Windows; moving to Windows 7 on these machines requires a clean installation, i.e. removal of the old operating system, installing Windows 7 and reinstalling all previously installed programs. Windows Easy Transfer can assist in this process.[1][3][22][23]
Microsoft made upgrade SKUs of Windows 7 for selected editions of Windows XP and Windows Vista. The difference between these SKUs and full SKUs of Windows 7 is their lower price and proof of license ownership of a qualifying previous version of Windows. Same restrictions on in-place upgrading applies to these SKUs as well.[24] In addition, Windows 7 is available as a Family Pack upgrade edition in certain markets, to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium only. It gives licenses to upgrade three machines from Vista or Windows XP to the Windows 7 Home Premium edition. These are not full versions, so each machine to be upgraded must have one of these qualifying previous versions of Windows for them to work.[25] In the United States, this offer expired in early December 2009.[26] In October 2010, to commemorate the anniversary of Windows 7, Microsoft once again made Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack available for a limited time, while supplies lasted.[27]

Upgrade compatibility

[edit]

There are two possible ways to upgrade to Windows 7 from an earlier version of Windows:

  • An in-place install (labelled «Upgrade» in the installer), where settings and programs are preserved from an older version of Windows. This option is only sometimes available, depending on the editions of Windows being used, and is not available at all unless upgrading from Windows Vista.[28]
  • A clean install (labelled «Custom» in the installer), where all settings including but not limited to user accounts, applications, user settings, music, photos, and programs are erased entirely and the current operating system is erased and replaced with Windows 7. This option is always available and is required for all versions of Windows XP.[29]

The table below lists which upgrade paths allow for an in-place install. Note that in-place upgrades can only be performed when the previous version of Windows is of the same architecture. If upgrading from a 32-bit installation to a 64-bit installation or downgrading from 64-bit installation to 32-bit installation, a clean install is mandatory regardless of the editions being used.

Anytime Upgrade editions

[edit]

Microsoft supports in-place upgrades from a lower edition of Windows 7 to a higher one, using the Windows Anytime Upgrade tool.[1] There are currently three retail options available (though it is currently unclear whether they can be used with previous installations of the N versions),[30] however there are no family pack versions of the Anytime Upgrade editions. It was possible to use the Product Key from a Standard upgrade edition to accomplish an in-place upgrade (e.g. Home Premium to Ultimate).[31][32]

Windows Thin PC
On February 9, 2011, Microsoft announced Windows Thin PC, a branded derivative of Windows Embedded Standard 7 with Service Pack 1, designed as a lightweight version of Windows 7 for installation on low performance PCs as an alternative to using a dedicated thin client device. It succeeded Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs, which was based on Windows XP Embedded. Windows Thin PC was released on June 6, 2011.
Mainstream support for Windows Thin PC ended on October 11, 2016, and extended support ended on October 12, 2021.[33]
Embedded versions
Windows 7 is also available in two distinct forms of Windows Embedded, named as Windows Embedded Standard 7 (known as Windows Embedded Standard 2011 prior to release, the newest being Windows Embedded Standard 7 with Service Pack 1) and Windows Embedded POSReady 7. Both versions are eligible for Extended Security Updates (ESU) for up to 3 years after their end of extended support dates.[7] In addition, binary identical for Embedded Systems (FES) variants of Professional and Ultimate editions are also available, differing only in licensing, and with their support periods also matching their non FES variants.
Mainstream support for Windows Embedded 7 Standard ended on October 13, 2015, and extended support ended on October 13, 2020.[34] Mainstream support for Windows Embedded POSReady 7 ended on October 11, 2016, and extended support ended on October 12, 2021.[35] Extended Security Updates (ESU) ended for Windows Embedded 7 Standard on October 10, 2023[34] and for Windows Embedded POSReady 7 on October 8, 2024.[36][35][37][38]

Windows 7 — операционная система компании Microsoft семейства Windows NT официально выпущенная 22 октября 2009 года. Операционная система Windows 7 имеет несколько редакций, отличающимися друг от друга функциональными возможностями.

Windows 7 вышла вскоре после выхода операционной системы Windows Vista, которая была прохладно встречена пользователями. По существу, новая Windows 7 являлась доработанной версией Windows Vista.

  10. Выводы статьи

Через несколько лет, в октябре 2012 года на смену Windows 7 пришла операционная система Windows 8. Далее, последовательно были выпущены операционные системы Windows 8.1 и Windows 10.

Несмотря на выход более новых операционных систем, «семерка» по-прежнему остается одной из самых популярных ОС в мире. Лишь совсем недавно, операционная система Windows 10, не смотря на возможности для бесплатного обновления, смогла обойти Windows 7 по числу пользователей в мире. В настоящий момент времени, в России обе операционные системы установлены на примерно одинаковом числе компьютеров.

Корпорация Майкрософт объявила, что 14 января 2019 года прекратится расширенная поддержка Windows 7. Компьютеры с Windows 7 продолжат работать, но перестанут получать обновления безопасности и исправления операционной системы.

В этой статье вы найдете сравнение версий Windows 7 между разными редакциями операционной системы, которые я собрал в таблице.

Версии Windows 7

Операционная система Windows 7 имеет несколько редакций, ориентированных на выполнение разных задач. Часть версий предназначены для установки на стационарные компьютеры, ноутбуки и нетбуки производителями устройств, ПК продается вместе с установленной операционной системой. Другие редакции доступны для розничной продажи пользователям, которые самостоятельно устанавливают систему на свой компьютер.

Windows 7 выпущена в составе 6 редакций, отличающихся друг от друга по своему функционалу:

  • Windows 7 Starter — Windows 7 Начальная;
  • Windows 7 Home Basic — Windows 7 Домашняя базовая;
  • Windows 7 Home Premium — Windows 7 Домашняя расширенная;
  • Windows 7 Professional — Windows 7 Профессиональная;
  • Windows 7 Enterprise — Windows 7 Корпоративная;
  • Windows 7 Ultimate — Windows 7 Максимальная.

Редакция Windows 7 Начальная (Starter) выпускалась в OEM версии (для установки на устройства производителями изделий) только в 32-битной разрядности системы. Остальные редакции Windows имеют 32 битные и 64 битные версии.

В старших версиях Windows 7 имеется режим Windows XP Mode, включающий операционную систему Windows XP Professional, запускаемой на виртуальной машине от Майкрософт.

Для Windows 7 был выпущен пакет обновлений Service Pack 1, в дальнейшем система получала накопительные и кумулятивные обновления, касающиеся, в основном, безопасности компьютера.

Как узнать версию Windows 7

Если пользователь не знает, какая редакция Windows 7 установлена на его компьютере, получить нужные сведения можно несколькими способами. Прочтите статью о том, как узнать версию Windows, опубликованную на моем сайте.

Вот один из способов узнать редакцию Windows 7:

  1. Войдите в меню «Пуск».
  2. Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши по «Компьютер», в контекстном меню выберите «Свойства».
  3. В окне «Просмотр основных сведений о вашем компьютере» отобразится информация об издании Windows и некоторые технические характеристики ПК.

Обратите внимание на разрядность операционной системы: 32-битная или 64-битная Windows. Это может понадобится при переустановке системы, для установки драйверов, для выбора программ соответствующей разрядности и т. д.

Windows 7 Начальная

Редакция Windows 7 Starter предназначена для установки на нетбуки. Из операционной системы убрали довольно много функционала для того, чтобы облегчить эксплуатацию данной редакции на маломощных компьютерах.

Начальная версия не предназначена для продажи в розничной сети. Операционную систему устанавливают на компьютер сборщики или производители устройств.

Windows 7 Домашняя базовая

Windows 7 Home Basic предназначена для домашних пользователей с базовым набором функций. В данной версии Windows отсутствуют многие дополнительные мультимедийные возможности и инструменты для профессиональной работы.

Trying to decide which version of Windows 7 you should get: Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate? It basically depends on your needs and what you are going to be using Windows for.

The rank of functionality from highest to lowest of the three Windows versions is: Ultimate – Professional – Home Premium. Here are some things that you may want to consider when deciding on which version of Windows 7 to purchase.

Basically, it works like this: Windows 7 Home Premium gives you all of the essentials. From there, Windows 7 Professional adds a couple more features. One more step up gets you the top of the line Windows 7 Ultimate which has all the bells and whistles. Here is a diagram, straight from Microsoft, that gives a good general overview of this:

Home Premium

Let’s start with Windows Home Premium. Home Premium retails for around $199 full version and $119 upgrade version. 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.

To you, does the $100 price jump justify these three features? Consider the following:

– The heavy majority of PC users will never use Windows XP Mode, this includes coders, designers, and developers. XP Mode is basically a way to allow people to run older software, that is not compatible with Windows 7. If you don’t really use older software, XP Mode is not a needed feature.

If you want to run Windows XP inside of Windows 7, this can be done for free by using VMware Player and an old Windows XP install disc, if you have one laying around.

– Domain Join is not by any means a revolutionary feature. It allows you to join the computer to a Windows Server Active Directory domain. If you must join a domain, you’ll need at least Professional.

– Ability to backup to a home or business network. 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.

Worth the upgrade. You decide.

Windows 7 Professional, the middle class of the Windows versions, will run you approximately $299 for a full version, and $199 for an upgrade. As previously mentioned, Professional adds XP Mode, Domain Join, and network backup upgrades from Home Basic.

Now, what features does Professional lack from Ultimate. Two main things: Bitlocker, and multilingual support.

– Bitlocker is an addition that allows you to encrypt your hard drive for better security. As you may have guessed, there are plenty of freeware apps out there that could easily replace the functionality of Bitlocker. However, they may not be as convenient to use.

– Multilingual Support. Multilingual support is one difference, among many, that actually may be hard to replace effectively with a freeware app. There are freeware apps out there that specialize in translation; and you can download free Microsoft language packs. However, this will not give the ease of the built-in language switching capabilities of Windows Ultimate.

Worth the upgrade? You decide.

Ultimate

Windows 7 Ultimate costs approximately $319 for a full version and $219 for an upgrade, a $20 jump in both cases from Professional. Because Windows 7 Ultimate is the highest version, there’s no upgrade to compare it to.

Worth the upgrade? If you are debating between Professional and Ultimate, you might as well swing the extra 20 bucks and go for Ultimate. If you are debating between Home Basic and Ultimate, you decide.

Conclusion

It’s quite clear that many of the “high end” features that the more expensive versions of Windows offer, can easily be replaced by just as good freeware apps. For most people, it’s a matter of preference.

Freeware apps are what they are and they are not built-in to Windows. If you believe that you will use several of the features that Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate offer, and want to use Microsoft programs, go for the upgrade. If you don’t care if you use freeware, you can make Windows 7 Home Premium do just about everything Windows 7 Ultimate can do, and save yourself $120.

Most people will never use stuff like XP Mode, Domain Join, BitLocker, etc. Regular followers of Online-Tech-Tips? Many of them may find the “bells and whistles” very convenient. If you want to know the exact differences between each and every versions of Windows 7, check out this Wikipedia article. Enjoy!
