In a few days, Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 7, will be released globally. I believe many people have already experienced it early. So, do you really know what innovations are in Windows 7? Just think of it as an upgraded version of Windows Vista?
can be said, Windows7 is one of the most anticipated product in the history of Microsoft. It is based on Vista, which makes up for the many shortcomings that existed before, adds a lot of new features, and consumes less resources. Whether you are upgrading from Vista or from XP, the 77 tips that Microsoft Certified Editor KeithWard has compiled are not to be missed.
(because it is a lot of people write a summary of the order a bit chaotic, and even some repeat.)
1, select the appropriate version. There are many versions of Windows 7, but the audience is different. For example, most commercial users can choose the professional version without the more expensive flagship, unless you need features such as BitLocker.
2, do not forget the 64-bit version. Windows 7 is Microsoft's second complete system supporting 64-bit technology, and the 64-bit desktop environment is basically mature, hardware and software are almost the same.
3, WindowsXP virtual mode. A set of VirtualPC virtual machines with a full copy of Windows XP. This is the first time that virtualization has moved toward normal users, allowing people to maintain full XP compatibility while upgrading to Windows 7. The final official version of Windows XP ModeRTM will be released on the 22nd of the day Windows 7 will be released.
4, WindowsPowerShellv2. More than just a simple command line shell, it's the long-awaited Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE), with powerful distributed parallel processing capabilities that make it easy to manage hundreds of computers with new remote capabilities. Shortcut Ctrl+Alt+I. Currently only integrated in Windows 7, but after half a year will be released for the standalone version of the old system such as Vista.
5, AppLocer. There is a software restriction strategy in the XP era. AppLocker is a software running restriction function that mixes black and white lists. It can enhance or even replace security software to ensure that only the software you approve can be executed.
6, the switching between the resource manager and the command line. Select a folder, hold down Shift and right click, you can open the command window here, click to open the command line window and the location is the current folder; if you want to open the Explorer window and focus on the command line Current folder, enter start. (In fact, Vista also may so)
7, the problem recorded. I have trouble trying to ask for help remotely and don't know how to describe it? The Problem Step Recorder (PSR) can help you record the corresponding steps and screens for each click, and even add comments, and finally generate a MHtml file and compress it and send it.
8, making training videos. (In fact, this is not the Windows7 itself, but to use third-party tools such as Camtasia to record short video to help others understand the new features of the new system)
9, do not forget WindowsServer2008R2. Windows 7 is for desktop clients, and more features such as BranchCache need to be found in the server version of the system. For server users, of course, if necessary, upgrade.
10, WindowsXP please prepare. Microsoft does not provide a direct upgrade from XP to Windows 7, so you need to prepare to migrate user data in advance.
11, consider a clean install. Even if you are using Vista, consider a new clean installation instead of an upgrade. This is really more troublesome, but in the long run it can avoid some potential troubles.
12, consider upgrading protection (UpgradeAssurance). Get Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP), including App-V/MED-V virtualization and more.
13, discover new tools. The troubleshooting in the Control Panel will lead to the System Diagnostic Tool, but there are more defaults that are not installed. Select the View All command in the top left corner to list all related tools.
