Upgrading to Windows 7: Windows Vista Update Windows 7

While Windows XP supports only through Windows Anytime Upgrade to the migration tools for Windows 7, Windows Vista has an option: AUA for a clean installation of Windows 7 and Windows Vista can use more of its migrate settings and data , or simply can be done in-place upgrade. The latter option is what most people think of when Windows “upgrades” to think about: the new operating system for the old operating system to run the installation executable, install the new operating system, a Frankenstein-style of some hours and wait instead of your old applications, configurations, with all the data. 

If all goes well in a situation, all applications continue running. Too often, however, the site to update previous versions of Windows was unable to fulfill this promise. The situation has improved some of Windows 7, at most, in part because Microsoft updates only place between Vista and Windows 7 (Windows 7, of course, different between versions) support: operating systems, of course, share common ground, facilitating the process. 

Migration from Windows Vista to Windows 7 

For Windows Vista migration process is basically identical to Windows XP (Part 2 of this series for more details see): You Source (Vista, in this case), backup your data and settings on the PC running Windows Easy Transfer, a single PC (or a separate PC) clean install of Windows 7, and the target data (based on Windows 7) restore your PC, then use the Windows Easy Transfer. 

Windows Vista for Windows 7 instead of updating 

Unique to Windows Vista to Windows 7 operating system has the ability to establish a fully functional upgrade. Such updates, install Windows 7 Windows Vista DVD from the desktop to run the installation. If all goes well, when you have an update process of an hour to get across a copy of Windows 7, documents, settings and applications up and running with all arise. 

Some notes on this type of installation. First, the compatibility of the report that appears during installation (as discussed below), be sure to pay special attention. In fact, it is best to download the update before trying to run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. If you do, if you meet the system requirements for Windows 7 is an advanced vision, which may not be compatible with hardware devices and software applications will be given.

Some of these issues are small – I saw the flaws in the system as Mozilla Firefox – while others are quite serious: in a Think Pad, optical mysteriously disappeared after update. I’m still trying to get one of each. 

Thirdly, he discovers that most of the upgrade process in place for approximately 7 to Windows is like performing a clean install may be surprised. The big difference is time: in its latest tests, update Windows Vista to Windows 7 may take several hours to two, especially if you are so well run with lots of files on your PC. It is surprising enough time

WINDOWS 7

Microsoft Windows 7 for an official launch date not announced, but if I was not available to consumers this fall was not surprised. The company just the first public beta, or testing of software, has released version, and I am testing on two laptops. A Lenovo ThinkPad with Windows 7 pre-installed Microsoft lent me, and the other owner of my Sony Vaio, that upgrading to Windows 7 is Windows Vista. 

    

Personal Technology columnist Walt Mossberg upcoming Microsoft Windows 7 operating software, which he said offers significant improvements in the unpopular Windows Vista offers a preview. 

I have a full and detailed review of Windows 7 will not be released until it is finished, but here are my initial impressions of the new OS and some of the main features is a preview of some. 

Windows 7 In general, I found a pleasure to use. There are some drawbacks, but in my Windows 7 early decision is positive. 

Beta as well, with some characteristics of incomplete or imperfect, Windows 7 is, in my opinion, many of Vista, annoying nag screen that is better than idle speed, and the incompatibilities caused many users to stay. It is also a serious contender, and the use of the features in the Apple Leopard operating system, the facility. (I cannot say. How Apple plans to compare with the new version, since I have not tested later) 

In many cases, Windows 7, Vista is a radical change, but to try to correct the major flaws of Vista is more. Shares the same underlying architecture, and graphic touches preserved as transparent window borders. Too numerous to list here – but has some important new navigation and easy to use, and the introduction of dozens of small usability and performance. 

Windows 7, and the striking of departure that eventually redefine how people can use computers, multi touch screen navigation. Apple’s iPhone is the best known, the system allows you to use your fingers directly to change the position, size, and as objects in the windows of the screen and flip through photos. This smart enough to distinguish between different signals and the combination of the fingers. I have generally not yet been able to prove, as it is sensitive to the touch screen of my laptop requires a new kind of reduction. 

But even if your current or future PC lacks a touch screen, Windows 7 will be a lot of other benefits. The critical speed can be. In my tests, the Windows 7 beta version of Vista on computer tasks such drastically start, began to sleep and get up as fast as the programs were. 

And the speed increase, not just Microsoft preconfigured machine has been explained, but my own Sony, the dog was using Vista, even after he tried to streamline its software. Of course, the advantage of speed may be compromised by computer manufacturers, if you add a lot of machines software junkie. Windows 7 configurations much more modest hardware requirements of Vista is likely to work well. 

http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=c0d39-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B002NGJO4M&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifrFamiliar Windows taskbar in Windows 7 more customizable and useful. Program icons larger and easier with repeated use of the task bar can be anywhere “fixed.” There is also “jump list” icon on the Task bar and Start Menu pop out frequently used or sample the latest work. 

Windows 7 also annoying nag screen warning and reduced. Microsoft information to the right of the task bar has been integrated into an icon, and now the circumstances of Windows will warn you before taking action in certain decision. 

In beta – hardware and software, which was a problem in Windows Vista with Windows 7 to feel much better compatibility? I do a wide variety of printer hardware, webcams, external hard drive and camera, and tried to include nearly all work fine. 

I have successfully installed Mozilla Firefox, Adobe Reader, Apple iTunes, and Google Picasa program such as Microsoft’s competitors were popular. Everything worked well, although no one has been designed for Windows 7. 

But there are some drawbacks to Windows 7. First, just run the new version will be able to upgrade to Vista computer. People are still using Windows XP need to conduct a multi-step process more complicated. Microsoft is working on a system to help owners of XP during the process protects all your data. 

Secondly, Windows 7, Windows programs will eliminate some of the family package. Vista Mail, Calendar, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, and the address book program has been eliminated. Similar to the basic program free, that serve them, Microsoft Windows Live, or other companies to use the option to download. Microsoft consumer choice and better coordination with the support of Web services and the defense of the measure, but does not remove the functionality of the Windows box. 

However, in its original form, Windows 7 looks very promising, and could help erase the bad reputation of Vista
