Someone has said that dream what you want to dream and be what you want to be because you have only one life to do things that you like. So if you are craving for enhanced features like HomeGroup, Jump Lists, Snap, Windows Live Essentials, Windows Search, etc., on your PC but haven’t taken the plunge to install Windows 7 then probably you are missing something in your digital life.

This article is basically to provide computer technical support related to the Windows 7 installation. Microsoft has paved up the path of upgrade as well as custom installation to let everybody experience the next-generation computing. Whether you own a PC with Windows XP or Windows Vista, you can renovate it with Windows 7. Let’s see what the protocols, put forth by the brand are, so that you can avoid any error while installation or havoc post-installation.

Upgrade option is available from Windows Vista, but if you have Windows XP think otherwise i.e. clean or custom installation will be the authentic way. Worried about Windows Vista compatibility? Leave it to Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, it will scan the hardware compatibility of your system, and will suggest suitable upgrade, if required. Clean installation will not retain your files, folders and settings. So what to do? Does it mean investing further or to put further efforts? Nothing to worry about, as Windows 7 Easy Transfer can transfer and restore your digital assets in a quick and easy manner with the least exercise. Attach an extra storage medium and let the wizard do it for you. Remember, it won’t be transferring your programs and drivers, that you need to do manually after the Windows 7 installation.

However, you need to take care of CPU architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) before installing the Windows version. You can’t restore data from a 64-bit Windows to a machine with 32-bit Windows 7. Also, the built in data backup and transfer component in Windows XP will not work with Windows 7. You can know about the CPU design from the Control Panel under the System and Maintenance. Installation is quite simple, just insert the Installation Disc or USB flash drive or connect with the Microsoft Support for online purchasing. If you've downloaded Windows 7, browse to the installation file you downloaded, and then double-click it. In case you are using installation CD then double-click setup.exe. If you've downloaded Windows 7 installation files onto a USB flash drive, insert the drive into your computer. Setup should start automatically. If it doesn't, click the “Start” button, click “Computer”, double-click the drive, and then double-click setup.exe. Follow prompts and enter your product key when asked for. After Windows 7 installation, transfer your files through Windows 7 Easy Transfer and reinstall programs and drivers. In case of errors saying, “you don’t have enough free disk space to migrate your files back to your computer”, use Disk Cleanup to delete temporary files left over from your Windows 7 installation and fix computer issues.

Almost, all major players of online PC Help are offering Windows 7 Installation help, and can be accessed over the Internet. So, if you are encountering related issues then don’t kill your time.
