Installing Windows 7 is a simple process. However, if you have any kind of problems just go though Installation category on Windows7.iyogi.net. For many users, there are few things to do after a complete Windows 7 installation. Windows 7 demands very little configuring, but here are few things you can do to get even more out of your new operating system.
Configure Windows 7 Home Group:
Windows 7 offers the latest and exciting network tool called Homegroup. This feature allows users a unique way to connect other computers running Windows 7 at a home or in office. With Homegroup, its easy to share files and printers on a home network. Connect two or more PCs running Windows 7, and HomeGroup will automatically start sharing your music, pictures, video, and document libraries with others in network. HomeGroup is also secure, which allows you to give password to shared files and folders. This feature is available with all the editions of Windows 7.
Enable Aero:
One of my best things about Windows 7 is the introduction of the new Aero features. But the great thing about them is that they are actually very useful and really help increase the productivity of the Windows.
Windows 7 is set to automatically adjust its Aero effects based on your systems windows experience index rating. If you have just installed Windows 7 you will require to run this by going to Control Panel – System and Security – System and also ensure you have the suitable drivers for your graphics card installed.
Sometimes you may not experience the Aero effects. This can be because Windows may not think your computer is powerful enough to run these effects without affecting performance.
If this is the case and you don’t mind a possible slight slow down on performance, you can forcibly enable them by following these easy steps:
STEP 1. Go to Control Panel – System and Security – System
STEP 2. Click on advanced system settings on the left and then performance settings.
STEP 3. Under the visual effects tab you should see that the option Let windows choose what’s best for my computer is by default checked.
STEP 4. Below this you should see a list of visual effects, some of which will be unchecked if you are not experiencing the full range of Aero features.
STEP 5. Select the custom option and then select all the effects from the list below it. Click apply and OK and you should have all the Aero effects enabled.
Windows 7 Libraries:
Among the several new and enhanced features that Windows 7 offers, Libraries are one of the most convenient tool this time around. Although not a completely new idea, Libraries offer the Windows 7 user the ability to access most file types from one location.
One particular use that we found for Libraries is that when we need to store same kind of data like pictures at one location. The issue is that we use different hard drives and the pictures are stored in multiple locations on those hard drives. You can also add shared folders from other PCs or LAN drives/home servers to your Windows 7 libraries. With Windows 7 Libraries, you can store picture, music etc files in their respective places.
