FAQs about Windows 7

1. Can the current computer run Windows 7?

If your computer is used for less than five years, the answer is yes. Microsoft stated in the statement that the minimum Configuration Requirements for Windows 7 are as follows: 1 GHz processor, 16 GB disk space, and 1 GB memory.

However, tests by multiple testers show that the configuration specifications of Windows 7 can be far lower than the above requirements.

However, I would like to point out that if you want a perfect Windows 7 experience, you 'd better configure a computer that runs faster. If you want a perfect Windows 7 experience, we recommend that you have a minimum requirement of dual-core CPU and 2 GB memory for Windows 7.

In addition, if you cannot determine whether your computer can run Windows 7, you 'd better run Microsoft's "Windows 7 upgrade consultant" before performing the Windows 7 upgrade ", this tool will help you check whether your hardware and software are compatible with Windows 7.

Previously, I had encountered video driver incompatibility issues on some laptops. Later, even if I changed the OS to Windows 7, the video operation was still very poor. However, I am sure that if your applications and hardware are compatible with Vista, they will be able to run on Windows 7 or even better.

2. After Windows 7 is upgraded, can the current hardware performance be improved?

Even if Windows 7 can run successfully on your current computer, the old hardware, after all, means that you cannot fully utilize the best performance of the new system. For example, Windows 7 supports multi-touch screen technology. If you want to experience this function, you must have a multi-touch display.

In addition, Windows 7 is Microsoft's first local OS with SSDS enhancements.

3. How can I identify whether a computer can run "XP mode"? Is "XP mode" A must for users?

"XP mode" is a powerful feature in Windows 7 Professional Edition and later operating systems. It allows users to run Windows XP applications on virtual machines where Windows 7 is installed.

The "XP mode" relies on Windows virtual PCs. virtual machines not only have larger memory and CPU requirements, but also require hardware virtualization processor capabilities. Therefore, if you want to run

Windows XP custom applications must be well supported by virtual machines. If you are a common user without specific requirements, the "XP mode" is not necessary.

4. Is the 64-bit era approaching? How can I check whether a computer supports 64-bit data?

Undoubtedly, the performance of a 64-bit operating system is higher than that of a 32-bit operating system. External analysts pointed out that Windows 7 is likely to be the last 32-bit operating system provided by Microsoft.

If your computer memory usage exceeds 3 GB for the task, consider upgrading 64-bit Windows 7. Generally speaking, the 32-bit operating system is sufficient for users who only use office kits and surfing the Internet.

However, if you are running a virtual machine, editing HD videos, and manipulating the original 12mp image, you 'd better switch to a 64-bit operating system.

　　5. Is it a waste of money if you use an old computer to run Windows 7?

It costs $200 to purchase a Windows 7 Professional Edition upgrade, while the price for a Windows 7 family Lite version upgrade is $120. Undoubtedly, this price is high, but if you purchase a brand new PC, you can experience high-performance operation experience.

Currently, you can buy a brand new low-end laptop at the price of $330, while $800 can buy a pack of high-end configuration computers that you are satisfied. From this point of view, it is very cost-effective to purchase a brand new computer preinstalled with Windows 7 for $120 or $200.

Now, the computer hardware configuration has been comprehensively improved, including HDMI, Blu-ray, 802.11n, and LED backlight. Therefore, it is very cost-effective to purchase a new computer preinstalled with Windows 7. However, if your current computer is relatively new and compatible with Windows 7, you cannot perform the Windows 7 upgrade.

　　6. Incompatible graphics card for Windows 7

I just bought a video card. After I installed it on my computer, I kept asking me to fix it. After I fixed it, I restarted my computer. This also happened. Then I took the video card and everything went fine. After switching back to Windows XP, install the video card.

It should be a driver problem. We recommend that you uninstall the driver and then install the new driver. If you do not know what driver to install, you can use the driver Wizard to update the driver.

　　7. Why is the font unclear after Windows 7 is installed?

Some time ago I changed a platform to install Windows 7, but the font is not clear after Windows 7 is installed. The desktop and IE browsers have the same colors and blur. Is it a resolution problem? I used the 1366*768 recommended by the system for other resolutions. My monitor is 18.5. The XP system is normal and clear.Windows 7In some browsers, the font is clear and the built-in font of the system does not work. I don't know if it is my display problem, or is it 4850?

This problem may be caused by incorrect ati driver, or the Windows desktop resolution is not adjusted to the optimal display resolution. Try to update the driver.
