I absolutely fear the release of Windows 7 I do repair computers for a living and trust me when I say that every new release of the Windows operating system is always an adventure. Each release as the first major release of Windows 95 in 1995, it was crazy. I'm sure there are many who remember the debut of Vista and all the fun everyone had with the new operating system. Vista has a huge amount of bad press, and he was right, but Windows XP just as bad, but the memory has faded.
And 'from MicrosoftGuilt? Not really, I actually worked closely with them on a couple of new versions of the operating system, and do everything possible to ensure that it works. The problem is with the whole scenario. Verviers, buggy drivers, software publishers ignore the demands require users to shoot themselves in the foot, and last but not least, old underpowered computer.
Each new version of Windows has new and different. This is the sizzle to sell the software. When you switch from 2 million lines of code10 million lines of code, it will be a problem. Each time the interface (that is, you look and feel), you get in a new way to learn to do things. If you have never seen a computer before, it makes little difference. But if you have Windows XP for six years and go to Vista, you crazy until you find out.
More code and new features provide more power is needed to operate. Faster CPU, RAM, faster and faster and bigger hard drivesDrives, faster graphics with dedicated RAM. Of course, Windows 7 does not need more power, because it optimizes the code and reduce the amount of code. And in the last beta version, has a better performance, but no matter what you do with your code, the hardware still has a great influence.
People always complain about the slow runs a computer. But it is often not the operating system, applications, software or hardware drivers. I installed a lot of new computer and I canTell you that right now, if you install an HP printer (or any other printer manufacturer) as an application with scanner, fax and photo editing software, will increase the startup time in minutes. The more software and hardware drivers that are loaded at startup slows down any computer.
Nor Get Me Started on the Weather Bug, or an Internet-based software that is loaded at startup. They want toys, you know to process more time waiting for the boat is complete. Part of the problemMany of these widgets are small ad-servers (yes, that's why you freebies, getting advertisers to pay the freight) that are slow as molasses on a winter morning.
The number of applications that is installed automatically when you start to grow all the time. mobile phone software to sync to do lists and schedule, current news feeds, and anything else that slows down the boot process begins. So do not think there is a new version of Windows to change a lotAbout boot time, if you have a lot of software and drivers to load at startup.
Here's what I tell people about the update. If your computer is on current problems, then by all means upgrade. If you have problems, but as an adventure, then update. If you love puzzles are a fan of computers, technology of love, then the update. But if you only want what you do not care to do on your computer, and have no problems, right now, right up to Windows 7 to buy a new computer.
NotWhatever approach you choose the upgrade, back up data and review to ensure that it works. Make sure all your original installation CD and serial numbers required for each application software. Go download the drivers for Windows 7 that you need for your printer or other peripherals.
If you upgrade to Windows 7, instead of performing a new installation and not upgrade. If you place upgrade, you should not reinstall the software to copy or save the data, butThey also increase the risk of something going bump in the night. The risk is not worth in my opinion. And you also bring along a trash old files and unused registry entries. If you do an update there in force to clean your current system and software to get rid of unnecessary temporary files, and make a Hard Disk Clean Up
The best choice for most people to do to install a new installation of Windows 7 and keep the old system and it works well. You can make a dual boot configuration for a month ortwo and so you always have a working system. When removed after a month you find that Windows 7 is stable and works with all software and hardware, the operating system is old and you're going with Windows 7.
The bottom line is that every new operating system can cause problems with all existing software and hardware compatibility issues. If you are a critical piece of software or hardware device, either new drivers or patches for use in Windows 7 Secure yourVerify data and should (you do regularly anyway) works. Run a dual boot for a month or so, to make sure everything works.
Because the user interface, several important changes, the time is to take these instructions. It saves a lot of frustration and worth the time. Windows 7 is worth the money, time and effort to update or install? Only time will show, and everyone can have a different outcome, but with a little 'planning andYou can prepare for possible problems.
