Problems With Windows 7?

Monday October 26, 2009

Anyone having any major problems with Windows 7? If so, be sure to head over the PC Support Forum and ask for help.

The installation should be a breeze and considering the breadth of beta and RC testing, there should be few bugs with installations on major systems. Nevertheless, stuff happens.

Remember, if run into problems, you can just do a clean install of Windows 7 and start the process over. In the worst of installation disaster scenarios, you could always do a clean install of your previous version of Windows.

The conclusion that if the worst happens wit windows 7 is that Windows XP can always be reinstalled is an apt warning that it would be better to wait awhile before installing a new OS which is not going to do anything for you!

Windows 7 is not really meant for XP, rather vista. I have upgraded my Vista System which took a couple of hours but it was painless (provided you follow the advice of the upgrade advisor) and my system now runs much faster and starts up faster which is my main reason for upgrading. It is questionable whether this should not have been a free upgrade to Vista since it’s probably what Vista should have been in the first place. Anyway, a worthwhile upgrade for me.
