Windows 7 Home Premium is an updated operating system from Microsoft that offers a new and improved Windows Media Center and entertainment experience. It contains new options and tools that are beneficial to home users, especially those who use their computer for entertainment. You can watch, rewind, pause and record TV with Windows Media Center. Media Center Extenders like Xbox 360 or Logitech's Squeezebox Duet make your computer your home's entertainment center.

Windows 7 Home Premium comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. It's also equipped with 90 days support from Microsoft, an improved Windows Media Player and an intuitive interface. Unlike the interface on the Starter Edition, this interface is easier to navigate and offers an easier way to control large music and video collections on your PC. This operating system is much faster and more secure than the previous Windows Vista. Share your favorite movies, videos, music and photos quickly and easily through your home network. Use Automovie to bring your videos and pictures together or create a DVD at any time. With Windows Live Movie Maker you can put your memories together into a movie, and then add sounds, effects, transitions and captions.

Windows 7 Home Premium offers new features that make your computer easier to use. A few clicks away are your recently opened documents, as well as the documents you want to keep handy with Jump Lists. Managing your open windows and documents is now a breeze with Snap, Peek and Shake. Unlike the painfully slow Windows Vista, Windows 7 Home Premium was designed to run faster, speeding up your start-up and shut-down time. Windows and software respond faster, and connecting to your Internet is much quicker.

With Windows 7 Home Premium, you've got a Backup and Restore Center to keep your local hard disk data safe. You can also create DVD backups so you don't lose any important data, files, pictures, movies, music or shows.
