Wondows 7 Benefits

Why is Windows 7 Professional right for your business?

It’s fast and reliable.

Responsive and ready, it starts and shuts down quickly and there are fewer interruptions and prompts, as well as faster recovery from problems when they happen.

It works with what you have today.

Windows 7 Professional works with a broad set of devices and applications, and Windows XP Mode* means you can run older XP from the Windows 7 desktop.

It helps you find what you need quickly.

Instant search, Jump Lists, and a larger, customizable taskbar with pop-up previews. Library groups make it easy to find documents even if they are stored in different folders or on different PCs.

It makes the things you do every day easier.

Everyday tasks are streamlined and simplified, and intuitive enhancements to the Windows Aero desktop help you to navigate, arrange, and work with multiple open windows on the desktop.

It helps you easily share your files and printers.

If you’re a small business without a server, you can easily share documents, printers, and devices across multiple PCs running Windows 7. For businesses with a server, Windows 7 Professional lets you connect PCs quickly and more securely to both your wired and wireless domain networks.

It allows mobile workers to stay productive anywhere.

Now you can access and share all your work computer programs, files, and network resources—whether you’re at home or on the road. You can even disconnect from the network, work offline, and then have your network files automatically and seamlessly updated.

It helps you easily restore deleted files or folders.

Windows 7 Professional lets you schedule automatic periodic backups to save your data or an entire system image to a network location or a local drive, which means if there’s a problem – you can restore quickly.

It helps you better protect and secure confidential information.

The Encrypting File System provides user-level file and folder encryption, enabling strong data protection and control.

It offers greater online protection.

Enhanced protection from Internet threats, spyware, and other forms of malicious software, and the Windows Internet Explorer 8 Internet browser helps protect your data and business information by delivering improved protection against security and privacy threats.

It helps you solve PC problems quickly.

Windows 7 Action Center gives you one place to view, diagnose, and solve common PC problems, and access built-in troubleshooters for several different types of problems, such as printing, Internet connections, performance, or power issues.
