Windows 7

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
I have installed 7 copies of Windows 7 since it came out Oct. 22nd and I must say that I am very happy with the results!  It installs very quickly and error free.  

What really impresses me is the driver support.  Windows 7 seems to find every single driver for every PC I have installed it on!  That never happened with XP or Vista.  It seems to recognize new hardware quite nicely as well.  I plugged in a 2nd monitor and it noticed it right away and configured it just the way I wanted.

Microsoft will NOT allow you to "Upgrade" to Windows 7 straight from XP.  You can however "Upgrade" from Vista to Windows 7.

Microsoft will NOT allow you to upgrade from Vista to a new "Edition".  You must buy the EXACT same version of Vista you currently have.  For example:  If you currently have Vista Home Premium, you should buy Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade.

My advice is this: if you have XP now and want Windows 7 plan on starting over fresh.  Don't try doing multiple upgrades.  You must also have a very powerful/large capacity PC to run Windows 7.  If you already have Vista, I would upgrade to Windows 7 ASAP.

Call me before changing your Operating System if you have any concerns.  763-360-2163.
