Major benefits of Windows 7

Features

Benefits - Windows 7The Windows 7 Professional operating system delivers a powerful combination of innovation, improved performance, and productivity.

01. It’s fast and reliable.

Responsive and ready—you can start using your PC quickly with fast startup, shutdown, sleep, and resume from Standby. Further performance improvements lead to fewer interruptions and prompts, as well as faster recovery from problems when they happen.

02. It works with what you have today.

Specifically designed with compatibility in mind, Windows 7 Professional works with a broad set of devices and applications. In addition, Windows XP Mode* provides you with the flexibility to run many older Windows XP productivity applications right from the Windows 7 desktop.

03. Helps you find what you need quickly.

Find what you need fast with instant search, Jump Lists, and a larger, customizable taskbar with pop-up previews. Type a few letters in the search box, and files, applications, or even menus appear in seconds. Similar types of documents (such as financial records or customer lists) can be grouped into Libraries—making it easy to find them even if they are stored in different folders or on different PCs.

04. Makes the things you do every day easier.

Everyday tasks are streamlined and simplified—with commonly used resources put within easy access and clutter minimized on the desktop. Enhancements to the Windows Aero desktop experience (such as Aero Snap, Aero Peek, and Aero Shake) help you intuitively navigate, arrange, and work with multiple open windows on the desktop.

05. Helps you easily share your files and printers.

If you’re a small business without a server, you can easily share documents, printers, and devices across multiple PCs running Windows 7. For businesses with a server, Windows 7 Professional lets you connect PCs quickly and more securely to both your wired and wireless domain networks. This can better help you manage security and the costs of multiple PCs. In addition, with Location-Aware Printing, your documents automatically get sent to the right printer—whether you’re at work or at home.

06. Allows mobile workers to stay productive anywhere.

Windows 7 Professional makes mobile computing on the go easier with access to all your mobile settings in one place and greater connection and networking options. Now you can access and share all your work computer programs, files, and network resources—whether you’re at home or on the road. You can even disconnect from the network, work offline, and then have your network files automatically and seamlessly updated with any new changes.

07. Helps you easily restore deleted files or folders.

Windows 7 Professional lets you schedule automatic periodic backups to save your data or an entire system image to a network location or a local drive. This helps you quickly restore individual files or folders that get accidentally deleted or even an entire PC in the event of a hard drive failure or the presence of malicious software.

08. Helps you better protect and secure confidential information.

Protect your business’s confidential information, such as credit card numbers or employee information, with the Encrypting File System. This provides user-level file and folder encryption, enabling strong data protection and control.

09. Offers greater online protection.

Help keep your business up and running with Windows Defender offering enhanced protection from Internet threats, spyware, and other forms of malicious software. At the same time, the Windows Internet Explorer 8 Internet browser helps protect your data and business information by delivering improved protection against security and privacy threats.

10. Helps you solve PC problems quickly.

Windows 7 Action Center gives you one place to view, diagnose, and solve common PC problems. Now you can easily access built-in troubleshooters for several different types of problems, such as printing, Internet connections, performance, or power issues.
