  • If you use Home Premium you can't use all the features of Win 7 like remote desktop and The  limitation on Windows 7 Home Premium Edition is that it cannot backup data to a network location such as a network-attached storage device (NAS), another PC on the network, or to a network server.Encrypting File System  is not supported in Home premium. better to go for Professional or ultimate or Enterprise

  • If you have a domain environment, the premium version can't join to domain. Windows 7 pro or Enterprise versions are better for organization use.

    If the computer says "This computer is not running genuine Windows" , it would be better to find out what is the reason for that.
