Windows 7

Windows 7 will soon be launch (22 October) and become the latest Microsoft's windows product.

Thanks to INTI, all the inti's student can now get a free genuine copy of Windows 7 at intimal website. (For more details please refer here )

The copy that provided by INTI is a Professional edition of Windows 7.
Compare with the Ultimate edition which is the most complete edition, some extra features like AppLocker, BitLocker and multilingual user interface pack is not available in professional edition.
However, the Professional edition is already good enough to meet the requirement of INTI's students. (for details edition comparison please refer here)

Without wasting any time, i have downloaded the Windows 7 Professional Edition 64bit and installed it in my HP Pavilion DV4 laptop. Now i am using it typing this post too ^^

HP Pavilion DV4 Specification:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz
RAM: 4GB DDR2 Ram
HardDisk: 320GB Sata HDD
Graphic card: NVidia G105M

First at all, my laptop was pre-installed Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit. After a month of using, i have formatted it to Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit which is not an original copy ^^ Once again i formatted it again to Windows 7 Professional Edition 64bit which is now become the genuine copy.

The reason i have chosen 64bit instead of 32bit is because 64bit of windows can fully support my 4GB ram. Those 32bit application can also run in 64bit environment without any error. The only problem is all the hardware that connected to my laptop have to be 64bit compatible. That's mean the hardware must be available in 64bit driver.

After backup-ed all my data and found all drivers of my laptop from HP website. I started my "Windows 7 Adventure".

The installation of Windows 7 is almost the same as Windows Vista. It is a graphical user interface which is look nicer than Windows XP which is blue background and can't even move your cursor. (mouse is useless at the beginning installation of Windows XP)



The whole installation of Windows 7 took about half an hour to complete. After the installation complete, what difference you will find at the first is the windows boot screen. No more moving bar from left to right, only 4 colors dot join together and make up the Windows logo.

if you see this page:


That's mean you have successfully installed Windows 7!


I will review more new features of Windows 7 in my next post.
Once again, say "THANKS" to INTI for my genuine copy of Windows 7!! ^^
