Windows 7 No Comments »

There where reports that there was a problem with upgrading Vista to Windows 7, but after Microsoft investigation it turn out that this was not a problem but lack of proper preparation on end user side.

Basically you can not upgrade Vista 32 Bit version to Windows 7 64 bit version. If you purchase by mistake or wrong advise Windows 7 64 Bit upgrade for Vista 32 Bit, you should contact shop where you purchased it and replace with 32 Bit version.

Windows 7 in the wild!

Hi

As you possibly notice, Microsoft start shipping new Operating System Windows 7

we are getting many questions from customers if they should upgrade their system, or buy new PC with Windows 7 and if yes which version to get.

From our experience it is usually better to wait a few months before embracing new Operating System from Microsoft as it can bring frustration to the user. It is very important to ensure that your key application which you use will work fine on Windows 7.

However if you decide that you want to try software our recommendation would be to get Windows 7 Professional.

If you want to get more information or have a chat about this please use our contact form or call us and we will try our best to help you :)
