The following is a basic overview on the new Windows7 Installation Process |
|
| 1. | This is just a general overview of the Installation Process for the upcoming Windows 7 Operating system |
| 2. | So far I have installed both the 32 and 64 bit versions on two different computers |
| 3. | The installation was extremely fast and easy on each |
| 4. | For example, from start to finish, on the 64-bit version was just under 20 minutes !! |
| 5. | Booting from the DVD and the very beginning took about 2 minutes. The only prompts are the Language, Time and Currency Format, and the Keyboard |
| 6. | Expanding the files took about 8 minutes |
| 7. | Reboot and complete the installation took about 6 minutes |
| 8. | First Use with the User and Computer Name etc. took about another 3 minutes to the desktop |
| 9. | Then there is the boot time. On the same computer, compared to Vista, Windows7 boots approximately 30% faster. |
| 10. | Other things with the basic Windows 7 Installation: |
| 11. | The Sidebar Gadgets are not installed automatically. |
| 12 | The memory usage is vastly improved. For example, on the 32-bit system, it was under 700 megs. |
| 13. | A lot of unnecessary services are not started as with Vista |
| 14. | A complete install, with the following applications installed and configured, along with approximately 300 megs of updates took only two hoursAcoustica CD/DVD Label Maker Adobe Bridge CS4 Adobe Photoshop CS4 avast!
