Hi John,



Windows 7 Starter comes with one desktop background that cannot be changed or customized. If you want to change your background, you can use the Windows Anytime Upgrade from Windows 7 to move to Home Premium or other edition of Windows 7. You can read more about it here - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windo…
