Watching the 7 videos will give you a 7 second taste of 7 key benefits.

The features that make the difference

It’s fast, reliable and cost-effective

  • Get working quicker. Windows 7 starts up, resumes and shuts down – swiftly and dependably.
  • Keep your current software. Most programs and devices running on Windows Vista will run on Windows 7, and Windows 7 Professional will even run dedicated Windows XP programs.
  • Makes networking easier. Share files and devices like printers easily, with no need to invest in a server.

Making you more productive

  • Find what you need fast. Just type a few letters in the search box to find files, applications, even a control panel menu, in seconds.
  • Make more of your mouse. A simple shake will arrange windows side-by-side or maximise them.
  • Stay productive - while mobile, with improved power management.
  • Print first time. Windows 7 Professional detects whether you're at home or in the office and automatically chooses the right printer.
  • Work better on the move. Accessing documents and programs remotely is simple. You can even work offline, and then automatically update your network files.

Safeguarding your work

  • Prevent accidents. Schedule regular backups to save your data and avoid the damage done by a missed back-up or a lost laptop. Even restore old versions of documents you have deleted or changed.
  • Be more secure online. Internet Explorer 8 helps you protect your data and defeat Internet threats. Windows Defender protects you against spyware and other malicious software.
  • Be even more secure with Windows 7 Professional. By encrypting confidential business information or backing up your data to a network drive.
