Feature and usabilityIt was early November 2010 and the fever of Windows 7 was on the top of every tech forum. I was very excited with the innovative Windows 7 features like HomeGroup feature, because I have two desktop computers at home, one in my personal room and the other in my office, which is attached with my house and mostly I have to shuffle among both to take out important data related with my personal and business usage.
But it was hard to decide on the compatibility factor of both computers. I went through a lot of research regarding technical support on Google. I was very much messed up. Fortunately I came to know about Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor on Microsoft’s site. I downloaded the program and installed it over both the computers. Next, I connected the printer too with one of my PC. Afterwards I executed the program. This program took hardly 10 minutes to generate a report. I followed the report and did the important modification in the memory and processor part. I upgraded the RAM (Random Access Memory) to 2 GB and replaced the hard disk with a 20 GB HDD. Next I upgraded the processor with 1 gigahertz (GHz) 32-bit (x86) and the memory of graphic card to DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0.
The term and condition was fulfilled for Windows 7 installation and I installed it with a USB flash drive. But post installation scenarios would not have been so smooth but for an authentic tech support from a remote service provider. I took remote technical support sessions of my computers to install the latest device driver and setup and configure my HomeGroup.
Now I can share the data over both my computers along with the printers. I don’t have to shuffle from one PC to another. With the inbuilt Parent Control feature of it, I can restrict my sensitive data from the reach of my kids.
Limitation
There can be certain limitation in the performance of your computer if your memory is not well compatible with the type of applications running in your PC. In addition you can’t expect complete Aero feature on your desktop’s if your graphic card is not compatible.
