Pensacola Computer Help Technoblog

Windows 7 has been out for a few months now, and most all new PC’s being sold include it. Here in Pensacola, the major retailers all have computers with Windows 7 pre-installed (beware of some of them trying to sell you the ‘added’ services like creating a backup disk for 30 bucks – anyone can do this easily themselves!)

Windows 7 brings a host of new features to the desktop and many people are unaware how to use all of them. Fear not, Microsoft has a great set of webpages that outline the new features of Windows 7, and include a number of how-to videos to help you get the most out of working with Windows 7. They also have a great help section to help with issues such as upgrades from Windows Vista, and making older programs run in Windows 7.
