Should You Upgrade to Windows 7

 

Finally, Windows 7 is here ...But is it worth it? Yes, absolutely. Windows 7 was well received when it was first released.  It is considered to be one of the most convenient OS (operating system). It is also very stable and secure. So, why should you consider upgrading to Windows 7? Here's why you should:

 

• Windows 7 has lower system resource requirements plus it can actually save power to boot, shutdown, restart and open programs a lot faster than Windows Vista.

 

• Windows 7 works on virtually any computer configuration perfectly.

 

• It allows you to access multi-media files in a single folder on your hard drive along with files that are in multiple locations.

 

• With Windows 7, you can utilize a slide-bar to create your own security settings.

 

Another reason why Windows 7 has received great reviews is because it has no bloatware. One major complaint Vista users have made is that Vista included a lot of free trial programs that were pre-installed when you made a purchase.

 

These pre-installed programs simply weighed down the Windows Vista system. Vista users were required to pay computer retailers in order to uninstall programs prior to bring a new computer home.

 

Lastly, Windows 7 is basically a lot easier, faster and it has improved navigation features than Vista.
