As you can see, the Windows 7 desktop and the Getting Started window displays options to view information about new features in Windows 7, transfer files and setting, add new users, share files with homegroups, personalize Windows, change screen size, and get Windows Live Essentials.

Please note that the Getting Started window will appear at the first time logon to Windows. To open the Getting Started window later, click the Start button, point to All Programs, click Accessories, and then click Getting Started.
