XP users must consider seven issues when upgrading to Win7

Windows7 has been officially released, but if you are a Windows XP user, then I advise you to think twice before, here we list seven reasons why you should continue to use XP.

1 Upgrading from XP to Windows 7 is a time-consuming and laborious task:

Due to a number of changes to the operating system's system architecture, XP users cannot upgrade Windows XP directly from XP, but must reinstall it so that you It may be necessary to back up all the data stored on the C: drive in advance, and you need to reinstall the commonly used programs after reinstalling Windows 7.

2. The process of reinstalling the software is quite troublesome:

While reinstalling frequently used programs, you may need to re-download or find the installation files for these programs on your hard disk. If the software CDKEY is forgotten, you may have to pay for it. The problem is that these softwares can also run on XP, so why upgrade to Windows7?

3. Most users don't need to upgrade at all:

What do you usually do with your computer? If you usually just go online or use Office to process office documents, then I advise you not to upgrade, because Windows7 may not bring you other useful functions than XP.

4. Windows7 is so expensive!

In addition to the $30 student version of Windows 7, it takes $120 for an average person to upgrade from XP to Windows 7, which is not a small amount.

5. After Windows7 SP1, consider upgrading again:

Any operating system may have such problems at the beginning of the launch, Windows7 is no exception, so why should we be willing to spend one? Is the money to be Microsoft's volunteer mouse? Therefore, XP users are advised to wait until Windows 7 launches the SP1 patch before deciding whether to upgrade.

6. Microsoft will continue to provide technical support for XP:

Due to the large number of XP users, Microsoft will continue to provide technical support for XP, they will continue to release security patches for XP. And various upgrade patches, so we don't have to worry too much about XP support for the time being.

7. You can wait for a while to buy a new machine with Windows 7 pre-installed:

For XP users who are still using older machines, they are advised not to use the operating system separately. To upgrade, you should upgrade the operating system together with the upgrade of the whole machine. Now the new models are pre-installed with the Windows 7 operating system, and the overall cost is relatively cost-effective to purchase.
