Microsoft (R) Windows (R) 7
Now that Windows 7 is on the store shelves, computer users are wondering if it is an operating system they can use at home for their everyday use. Is it another Windows Vista? Will their programs work with it? Is it worth the upgrade? And the scariest one, what will I do if my old trusty computer dies and I am forced to get a new one?
Some folks have jumped in and purchased the new operating system and called their computer tech to install it. Those installations will be done as the tech sees fit. There are many ways to install this new operating system and even more ways to make it look when it is done.
The most difficult part of a new operating system is the visual changes. The new desktop will not look like the old one. Some features will not be there, some will but will not be obvious. A savvy user should find out how the new system looks before the tech comes and have a discussion about the needs for the computer.
1. What programs you use now will work?
2. What hardware you own will work the same with the new system?
3. How will you find and run your programs?
4. Discuss User Account Control with the installer. This can be a function that can be confusing if not understood.
5. Will your Anti-Virus, or Internet Security program be compatible? Protection is still a number one priority.
Windows 7 is a better operating system than you have now. It may be a big jump for some and a little hop for others. All in all it is a good opportunity for new computer fun.
