What version of Windows 7 is right for you?

Windows7 contains multiple versions I believe many people already know that in our actual use, due to the psychological factors in the acquisition of piracy, many users often choose the highest end of the Windows7ultimate flagship version, but, we have to ask, the flagship version is really suitable for our needs? Is there any better?

The above question seems strange, because the flagship version of the Windows7 is no doubt the "best". There is nothing wrong, but at the same time we still have a word called "the most suitable is the best", detailed to each of our users, the flagship version must be the most appropriate? We are not too busy to conclude, let's take a look at:

Windows7 contains six editions, namely: Windows7starter Primary Edition, Windows7homebasic Family General edition, Windows7homepremium Family Advanced Edition, Windows7professional Professional Edition, windows7enterprise Enterprise Edition and windows7ultimate flagship edition.

Next, let's take a look at what's different about these editions:

The Windows7 Primary edition is the Windows7 on the lowest end of the version, not in the retail market, mainly for the netbook market and OEM market, if no aero effects are acceptable, the lack of 64-bit support and the inability to replace the desktop background to make this version of the usefulness of a significant discount, so I think, for most users, the primary version can be excluded from our use of the category.

The Windows7 Home Edition is a simplified version of the Windows7 home version of Microsoft for emerging markets, already rich in features such as support for multiple monitors and mobile centers while supporting some aero effects, missing feature components including tablet support, Remote Desktop, Media Center and so on, while the home normal edition can only be joined cannot create a home Networking group (homegroup).

From the functional point of view, the author believes that the home version for most of the home users, is enough to use, at the same time, although its name for the family version, but for many Chinese enterprise users, especially small and medium-sized users, is still practical, the reason is very simple, first of all, The ordinary version of the family is the lowest price in all Windows7 retail versions, the official retail price of 399 yuan, effectively reduce the cost of the enterprise; second, some of the missing aero effects in the home version, the inability to create a home networking group, tablet support, and so on, for the average employee pc in the SME is an unnecessary function; Once again, after streamlining a large number of functional components, Windows7 home version of the hardware dependence on the degree of greatly reduced, the performance of PC hardware can be better utilized.

The Windows7 Home Premium version adds richer functionality to the home version, supports all desktop effects, supports media centers, sets up home networking groups, but does not support XP mode, Windows domain, and multi-language. The official retail price is 699 yuan.

It can be said that the home advanced version already contains a variety of functional components that can be used by home users, such as in the environment where multiple PCs want to set up a home network, users can choose a family of Advanced edition and a number of family General edition, as far as possible to save costs while achieving the maximum function requirements At the same time, because the family version of the Windows7 are streamlined a lot of home users do not need the function, and will not significantly reduce PC hardware performance, affect the user experience. The author thinks, for most users, if consider genuine, the family version of the Windows7 is the most cost-effective choice.

Windows7 Professional Edition has added a number of enterprise functional components, such as Active Directory, domain, Remote Desktop, network backup, location-aware printing, Encrypting File System, demo mode, Windows XP mode, the official retail price of 1399 yuan. This version of the feature is already rich enough to be able to do almost all of the day-to-day business needs of the enterprise, Microsoft for the professional version of the positioning is in the enterprise environment or Windows enthusiasts, but if you have not heard of the new features mentioned above will not be used (in fact, for many office PCs, Their job is simply to read and write documents, print documents, communications, and, as mentioned above, the Home Edition is also capable of the needs of our enterprise environment, we do not need to invest more, in an enterprise environment, there are several Windows7 Professional version of the PC enough to meet the needs of the application.

The

Windows7 Enterprise and Windows7 flagship editions are functionally indistinguishable, and are divided into two versions in terms of licensing and related applications and services only. These two versions have all of the functional components of Windows7, of course, the author also need to remind netizens to note that it is because of the rich function, the flagship version of the hardware performance of the consumption is also greatly increased, before you choose, you need to first understand the enterprise data sharing, management, security, multi-language package support, UNIX application support, BitLocker Drive Encryption, branch caching (BranchCache), and so on are you able to use it? Is it worthwhile to choose a 90% system that is not in order to satisfy the "most complete" requirement? More importantly, These features you don't need will also consume hardware resources, and it would be extremely unwise to spend a lot of money to upgrade your PC's hardware configuration to experience the flagship version. Therefore, the author believes that users choose the flagship version must consider their own application needs, do not blindly follow, leading to a sharp decline in the use of experience. Of course, for the enterprise that needs to use the flagship function, the powerful and comprehensive function can fully meet the business requirement of any enterprise.
