With this Windows, Microsoft returned to the path of success after the failure of Vista, and in view of what appeared later, it wouldn't be crazy to state this is probably their best product to the date. Nobody can be surprised about the reluctance of many users to switch over to W10, even being a free updated.
Windows 7 was received as a mighty evolution regarding previous systems , especially regarding its performance improvements, its greater security and a much more intuitive interface. Here are its general features. If you still live in the past with your Windows XP or Vista, or you're just not too keen on the new Windows 10, the best thing you can do is download Windows 7 to your PC, the ideal operating system for personal computers on which your going to combine leisure and work.
However, take into account that whenever Microsoft fancies, it will stop supporting this OS and will forget about implementing security improvements, so you won't be able to update it. The customer representative will let you know if there are any fees or charges in the process of replacement. However, as we promised above, we do know a trick that should help you use Windows 7 for almost a year without paying a penny.
When you install Windows 7 by any means, you are prompted to provide a valid product key to activate the Windows. But you also have the option to skip the prompt and access Windows 7 30 day Trial version.
The trial version will come with all the features, but when it will expire your Windows will not work properly although it will still turn on. However, there is a way to extend the trial period by 30 more days using slmgr -rearm command, which has been added by Microsoft to extend the trial period. Select the packages you need to install, select Next , and then follow the instructions to install SP1. Your PC might restart a few times during the installation.
Select the link in the table that corresponds with the version of Windows running on your PC. On the Microsoft Download Center page, select your language and then select Download. It might take a few minutes for the tool to download and install. To install the tool immediately, select Open or Run and then follow the instructions.
To use the tool later, select Save and download the installation files to your PC. On the Installation complete screen, select Close. In the search box, enter troubleshooter and then select Troubleshooting from the list of results.
Under System and Security , select Fix problems with Windows Update and then follow the instructions. Vista users merely need to back up their data before choosing the Upgrade option from the install disc. Custom will have the same effect as a clean install, although it'll save your old data in a folder called Windows.
Once you choose Custom, you'll need to select the partition of your hard drive that contains Windows XP, and then follow the instructions to enter your product key and allow the computer to reboot as needed.
If you're not sure if your current computer can run Windows 7, you can download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft. Features: Taskbar and Aero Peek Although the look of Windows 7 may seem to be nothing more than some polish applied liberally to the Vista Aero theme, make no mistake: This is a full replacement operating system, and more than just "Vista done right.
The first thing that should stand out is the new taskbar. This is one of the best improvements Microsoft has made--third-party program dock makers are going to have to do some serious innovation when Windows 7 goes public.
Besides incorporating the translucent style of Aero, the new taskbar is arguably even better than the Mac OS X dock. It features pinned programs using large, easy-to-see icons. Mouse over one and all windows associated with that program appear in preview. Mouse over one of those preview panes to reveal an X to close the window.
Hover over the preview to show a full-size preview of the program, or click on the window to bring it to the front. Because of the button size, people with touch screens should find it especially easy to use. Jump lists are another new taskbar improvement that make recently opened documents easier to get to. Right-click or left-click and drag on any program icon pinned to the taskbar to see a list of files that you've recently used in that program.
In Internet Explorer, this will show recently visited Web sites, although it doesn't yet seem to work in Firefox. If you've noticed the missing Show Desktop icon, that's because it's been baked into the taskbar itself.
Mouse over to the right corner. Hovering over the Show Desktop box reveals the desktop, and then hides it when you mouse away.
Click on the box to minimize all your programs. Resizing programs has been simplified and improved by the capability to drag a window's title bar. Drag a program window to the top of your monitor to expand it to full screen. If you want to work in two windows simultaneously, drag one to the left edge and one to the right edge of your screen, and they'll automatically resize to half the width of your monitor. Dragging a program away from the top or sides will return it to its original size.
Theme packages also make it much faster to change the look of Windows 7. From the Control Panel, you can change the theme under Appearance and Personalization. Microsoft has created several theme packages to give people a taste for what the feature can do.
Click on one to download it, and it instantly changes the color scheme and background--no need to reboot. Users can create their own themes, as well. Windows Media Player and Device Stage One of the biggest new features makes Windows Media Player useful again: you can now stream media files from one Windows 7 computer to another, across the Internet and out of network.
Even better, the setup procedure is dead simple. When you open Windows Media Player, there's a new Stream option on the toolbar. Click it, and you're presented with two choices. Both require you to associate your computer with your free Windows Live ID.
While playing, you can perform various functions on the file like forward, reverse, fast forward, fast reverse, pause and stop from its playback controls area. You can also select visualizations to view in this mode by right-clicking on the main window. Probably the most trending feature in almost every application is sharing. It can automatically share what is currently playing in your player on Facebook and Twitter.
You can select from what information about the file you want to share. This plug-in can also collect additional information about the music from online music stores. The Sync tab in player library mode guides through the automatic and manual sync process. Windows Media Player is compatible with Windows mobile and some game consoles.
It is still in the process of being introduced on other platforms.
