I’m likely going to take the plunge and upgrade my laptop to Windows 7. Of course, I bought the laptop just before the start of the free upgrade program (I have wonderful timing that way), so I’m going to be paying retail price for my copy. I’m bookmarking resources to ease the transition. For example, PC World has posted a Windows 7 Survival Guide with lots of potentially useful information.
Windows 7 launches on Thursday, and everywhere you look retailers and manufacturers are getting ready for a big day of sales. Apple may be looking to rain on Microsoft’s parade with stellar news about its financial performance, but there’s little doubt this week belongs to Windows 7.
Yet questions still remain about upgrading to the new OS, how Windows 7 works compared to Vista, and whether there will be any serious compatibility issues once Windows 7 is finally installed on computers across the United States.
There are a lot of questions out there about Windows 7, and I have answers. I’ve gone through the PC World vault to find all the information you need about upgrading, the pros and cons of buying a new system, Windows 7 security, and more. With this handy guide at your side, you’ll be able to embrace everything Windows 7 has to offer.
