Time to Upgrade to Windows 7?

11:43 AM  High Tech House Calls, Expert Computer Consulting  

Microsoft's Operating System Windows 7 has been out since October 22, 2009. High Tech House Calls thinks this operating system is a big improvement over Vista and strongly encourages users of Vista to upgrade their computers to Windows 7.

In general, a computer that can run Vista will have no problem running Windows 7. To make sure all your hardware will work fine, install the Windows Adviser Software from Microsoft. Here is the link to the Adviser: Windows 7 Adviser

What do you need to migrate to Windows 7?
  • copy of Windows 7 (upgrade version is fine)
  • backup of personal data on your current computer (emails, contact list, documents, music, etc.)
What if you are running Win XP?
  • Most computers running Win XP do not have the horse power to run Windows 7. 
  • You cannot upgrade a Win XP computer to Windows 7. You must erase the contents of your current hard drive and start from scratch with a full version of Windows 7. It is critical that you have a complete backup of your computer's data in order to restore that data after the upgrade.
  • Win XP is a very stable and tested operating system. The time to upgrade is when you buy a new computer that is pre-loaded with Windows 7. If your computer is 3-5 years old, you should be thinking about a new computer simply because of the age of your current computer. Need advice on what to buy? Send an email (carlthorne@hthcatlanta.com)or call us (404.229.0839) for free advice on which computer you should buy.
