Upgrading to Windows 7 - A Few Things to Consider

Microsoft reports that the adoption of Windows 7 is the fastest adoption of an operating system in the history of the company. It’s not clear yet if this is because Windows 7 is that good, or because people were so frustrated with Vista that they are eager to get away from it, but the early reports on Windows 7 are very favorable.

You may be considering an upgrade to Windows 7 soon. If so, here are a few things to consider before you pull the trigger:

1. Clearly determine why you want to upgrade. Are you looking for a specific feature or performance enhancement? You should get clear on your goals before spending the money to make sure you get the correct version of Windows 7 – there are six versions – for different needs. Tip: most small businesses will want to go with Windows 7 Professional.
