IT Queries: Computer problems answered

We have (Yuk) Windows Vista on our PC and Laptops and none of us like it. Our own computer technician advised to wait awhile before looking at Windows 7 but we seem to hear more praise for this version and would like to know your views on whether it is better and worth while upgrading to Windows 7 now.

Windows 7 is a far more stable and faster operating system than Windows Vista and the benefits of upgrading make it worth the cost of the upgrade.

One thing to watch is that Microsoft have again confused the market by releasing five different versions of Windows 7 each with their own range of features. Fortunately only three; Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate are available in shops as the Home Basic version only comes with new systems and Enterprise is for large volume corporate customers.

We’d recommend getting the Ultimate edition as it covers all the features most computer users want to use. Shop around for it though as prices vary dramatically between outlets.

Also remember to backup all your important data before starting the upgrade.
