Windows 7 has many features which makes it a great improvement over earlier systems. However, like most things, if you are unaware of all these features you could be missing out.
By mastering a few simple tricks, you can get the most out of Windows 7.
- Coping images to a CD or DVD is easy with Windows 7. Just double click the image, and choose the drive that contains your blank disk. Choose the burn option and Windows 7 takes it from there!
- Finding issues and repairing them is also simple with Windows 7. To do this choose the “Control Panel” and choose the “troubleshooting” option. This will give you usage of a series of wizards that look for and resolve common OS issues. For example cleaning up adware and deleting clutter.
- Do younger members of your household install cumbersome software that slows down your computer? This can be easily prevented using the Windows 7 AppLocker feature. This feature only allows your computer to run and install programs that have your pre-approval. You are able to tell AppLocker to only run programs from respectable companies, so if someone is attempting to run a program from an unknown publisher AppLocker will block it.
- Windows 7 includes its own power efficiency service. This allows you to access reams of information regarding how much power your laptop is consuming. This may be important if you’re working from a remote location and are not close to a charging source.
