Windows 7 has many features that make it a great improvement over prior 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 select the drive that contains your blank disk. Choose the burn option and Windows 7 takes it from there!
- Finding and fixing problems is very simple with Windows 7. If you feel as if your OS is behaving oddly select the “troubleshooting” option from the “Control Panel”. This gives you access to several wizards that will help you reduce clutter and tidy up your system.
- What if you have younger members of the household who insist upon installing cumbersome software onto your computer? Install too much of this software, and your computer will become a sluggish mess. Fortunately, Windows 7 comes with the AppLocker feature. This feature lets you run and install only programs with your pre-approval. For instance, you can tell AppLocker to only run programs created by reputable companies such as Microsoft. If your kids endeavor to install a program from an unknown publisher, AppLocker will prevent it.
- Windows 7 includes its own power efficiency service. This allows you to obtain tons of information regarding how much power your laptop is consuming. This can be important if you’re working from a remote location and are not near a charging source.
