I admit Windows 7 performs faster than Vista as a whole. However, it just took absolutely ages to switch to 7; mainly the upgrade didn't work smoothly, which really got on my nerves. So I had no choice but to do a clean installing. It definitely meant I had to reinstall and restore all of my files and software! No wonder it took too much time. Especially, I went berserk when the Outlook crashed! Then I phoned the Microsoft Support Center for hours and hours and it was really tiring! They suggested I insert the CD-ROM of 7 after booting my computer, which didn't appear in the instruction manual. Why didn't Microsoft let me know that important information first!? After all, my computer works well almost as usual although some of the existing software aren't compatible with Windows 7. However, I must say I'm disappointed at the fact that Microsoft failed to show us the specific and vital ways to install Windows 7.
After all, I gave this only 2 stars because I was upset that the instruction manual lacks specifics. Since I already changed Vista into 7, I'm neither going to demand a refund nor send it back. The thing is I'm not mad at Windows 7 itself, I'm mad at the defective instruction manual!
Vista HPからのアップグレードです。 そろそろ、機は熟したかと思い、32bit版から卒業を宣言(自分自身に)し、64bit版をインストールしました。 まぁ、OSを64bit版にしたからといって、使っているアプリのほとんどが32bit版の中、いきなり64bitの恩得が得られるとは思っていませんが、そこは気分の問題と言うことで。
windows vista home32bitからwindows7 home 32bitにアップデートをしました。中古品なのでユーザー認証が心配でしたが、問題なくインターネットで認証ができました。マイクロソフトでは今でもwindows 10への無料アップデートを認めているようなので、パソコンのmemoryを4GBから8GBに増設して、windows10の64bitで使うことも可能だと思います。このようにすれば手持ちのOSを活かして安価にアップデートができると思います。
