Upgradeability
The manufacturer of the Windows operating system, Microsoft, has foreseen the desire of users to work in a full-fledged system, for which there is a special algorithm of actions that allows you to update the initial version of Windows 7 to a full-fledged one, more suitable for the user.

In the program window that opens, click "Search for updates" and install all updates available at the time of the search.
Install the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
It should be noted that in order to change Windows 7 Starter, you must have a Windows Any Time Upgrade key. To start changing Windows 7 Starter, you need to install a program from Microsoft - Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

Connect all devices
To optimize the operation of the Transition Advisor, before starting the program, connect to your computer all devices (including USB devices, printers, scanners, external hard drives) that you plan to use with this computer.
The Upgrade Advisor will scan your computer for possible compatibility issues and generate a report that will contain information about the computer's compliance with the system requirements, about any compatibility issues between the installed hardware and programs, and further recommendations for updating the system.
