Benefits of Windows 7

  • Faster , more responsive performance Nobody likes to wait, so we designed the operating system to be more responsive and simpler to use. Windows 7 is designed to make PCs start up, shut down, resume from standby, and respond faster. We’ve also added new features to simplify the number of steps and clicks required to do common things.
  • Jump Lists Jump Lists are a handy way to quickly reach the files you've been working with; just right click on the icon on your taskbar. So, right-clicking on the Word icon will show your most recent Word documents. You can even pin files to the Jump List so they’ll always appear.

Running Windows Vista?

If you have a genuine copy of Windows Vista installed on your PC, you can purchase Windows 7 Upgrade versions. You can choose to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 with all of your applications and files in place or do a clean install which erases your hard drive and installs a fresh version of windows on your PC. Which ever way you choose to install Windows 7, we recommend that you back up all of your files and applications first. If you do not have a genuine copy already installed on your PC, you will need to purchase one of the “Full” versions of Windows 7.

    Running earlier versions?

    If you have Windows XP, you can purchase Windows 7 Upgrade versions. But you must back up your files, clean install, and reinstall your applications. If you’re running Windows 2000, you’ll need to purchase the full product and do a clean install.
