Most business owners feel software upgrades are akin to having a dental extraction: not a pleasant experience. But an upgrade to Windows 7 can actually be pain-free. Here’s why:
XP Mode. If you’re worried about compatibility issues, fear not. XP Mode allows you to run older programs in Windows XP and simultaneously run every-thing else in Windows 7. If your main business software runs well now in Windows XP or Vista, it should run just fine in XP Mode.
For even more peace of mind, make sure you contact your business software vendor and get their a-ok before beginning an upgrade. You can also try this on a “test” PC before rolling it out on your network.
Installation Time. Windows 7 set-up is significantly faster than Vista or XP (previous versions of Windows). Boot-up times are multiples faster too.
Stuff Just Works. When you plug in a new scanner, camera or other device into your computer, you don’t want to fight with pop-up messages that tell you to search for drivers. You just want it to work the way it’s supposed to. With Windows 7 that’s what you get. No hassle. No fear.
