Switch to a new PC the easy way
jjones | Guides |There’s a little-known feature in Windows Vista which can make the normally painful process of moving to a new PC ridiculously easy. What’s more, it can also serve as a powerful backup tool, which could save your data from the unthinkable should a major crash or disc corruption occur, offering total peace of mind.
Land your dream job
jjones | Guides |Has your career not progressed the way you’d hoped? Maybe you feel unappreciated in your job. Perhaps you’re stuck in a rut and would simply like a change. On average, we spend 30 per cent of our lives at work, so it’s important that we do something we love. If you’ve lost your job during the recession, you could turn things on their head and use this as an opportunity to enter a whole new profession.
Upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows XP
jjones | Guides |Unfortunately, you can’t use the upgrade button in Windows XP to migrate to Windows 7. Instead, you have to perform a custom installation, which can mean formatting the hard drive Windows XP is installed on and starting again from scratch. You will probably discover that the Upgrade Advisor finds a number of problems with both your hardware devices and software programs, so expect to spend a bit of time checking for driver and program updates.
The perfect Windows 7 install
jjones | Guides, Windows 7 |While it’s true that a fresh installation of Windows 7 is the neatest and cleanest way of bringing the latest version of Windows to your PC, it’s not the most convenient option, particularly if you value your existing programs, customisations, files and settings. The good news – if you’re currently running Windows Vista – is that you don’t have to lose any of this when installing Windows 7.
