Starter edition is a SEVERLY limited version of windows. If you want to choose from the two versions, get the Home edition.
> In the starter edition you cant run more than 2 programs.
> The maximum screen resolution is limited to 1024×768, and there is no support for workgroup networking or domains.
> hardware support is limited to lowend processors
>Many administrative applets are missing
In short its C###ware.
[sorry couldnt resist.]

ps: why dont you try ubuntu?]

starter edition is much cheaper than home, so some corners had to be cut...
